What to expect
'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world.
Can true creativity arise only from meditation?
In this illuminating talk, Osho responds to the question: "What is objective art? Is creativity somehow related with meditation?"
Osho makes a remarkable distinction between two fundamentally different kinds of creativity. Most art, he explains, is subjective—it expresses the artist's personal emotions, dreams, conflicts, and psychological states. While such expression may be therapeutic for the creator, it does not necessarily elevate or transform those who experience it.
Objective art arises from an entirely different source. It is born not out of psychological conflict but out of silence, awareness, and meditation. When the mind becomes still and the ego recedes, creativity flowers as an expression of love, compassion, and presence. Such art is not merely something to be admired—it becomes a transmission of consciousness.
Exploring the relationship between meditation, creativity, and the nature of true art, Osho challenges conventional ideas about artistic expression and reveals how the quality of our consciousness shapes everything we create. Along the way, he discusses the difference between subjective and objective art and explains why creativity rooted in meditation has the power to transform both the creator and the observer.
Whether you are an artist, musician, writer, designer, or simply interested in the deeper dimensions of creativity and meditation, this talk offers a fresh and insightful perspective on the creative process and its relationship to inner awareness.
