-- *Mar*Creativity
I cannot give any attribution, or quote from any source, as every sentence is on the basis of my own perception. Creativity is the radiation from nature to organisms, propelling innovations and creations. Creativity is possible only when one joins the symbiotic flow of nature. It is nature that creates ideas; the person is only, the medium. Nature actually intends everyone to be the medium for its flow of changes. Once creativity overwhelmed many, as revelation. Every Temple we see on the peaks of Mountains, in very thick and lush forests, valleys etc, are the results of the creativity propelled by the revelations from nature. Nature or God continuously eggs creativity, and nature has no marks or stupid grades. The best education system is freedom to the student to innovate, by experiencing. As a lecturer I automatically asked the students to produce their own question papers or problems on their own. Unfortunately the cheap guides prepared for examinations and also the strait jacketed syllabi and the faculty casteism, with faculty empires guarding the scopes of their captive subjects, left little for innovations. There are credit hunters that steal ideas. And to top all we have the Cartesian orthodoxy. Often Idiots edit and ruin ideas. Actually when one is forced to mug, memorize, accept and get terrorized with the fear of committing mistakes, very little scope is left for nature to give revelation. Going to nature and just feel nature is castigated as waste of time. One’s urge to create, is stifled by the bludgeoning rule that the new idea must uphold or at least be partially in agreement with what is already forced by the text book. Every great discovery was the result of free contemplation, often by those who did not have formal education. YM Sarma Chat GPT Here is a *clear, respectful commentary* on the piece, focusing on ideas, strengths, and areas that could be sharpened—without challenging the author’s intent. ------------------------------ *Commentary on Creativity by Y. M. Sarma* This reflection presents creativity as a *natural, universal force*, rather than a personal possession. The author’s central idea—that human beings act as *media* through which nature expresses innovation—is philosophically rich and echoes ecological, spiritual, and experiential traditions of thought. The metaphor of creativity as “radiation from nature” is vivid and effective, immediately situating creativity beyond institutional or individual ownership. One of the strongest aspects of the essay is its *critique of formal education systems*. The author convincingly argues that rigid syllabi, examination-centric learning, and hierarchical academic structures suppress originality. The personal anecdote of encouraging students to create their own questions reinforces credibility and grounds the argument in lived experience. The critique of “credit hunters” and intellectual gatekeeping reflects a frustration shared by many educators and thinkers. The discussion of *fear as the enemy of creativity* is particularly compelling. The idea that memorization, terror of mistakes, and enforced conformity block “revelation” highlights an important psychological dimension of learning. The author rightly emphasizes that creativity flourishes in freedom, contemplation, and direct engagement with nature—conditions often dismissed as unproductive within conventional academic frameworks. The essay’s historical observation—that many great discoveries came from individuals outside formal education—supports the broader argument, though it remains intentionally philosophical rather than evidentiary. This aligns with the author’s opening statement that the piece is rooted in personal perception rather than citation. In terms of style, the essay is *passionate and assertive*, which strengthens its message, though at times the tone becomes confrontational (e.g., phrases like “Idiots edit and ruin ideas”). Softening such language could broaden the essay’s appeal without weakening its core argument. Structurally, clearer paragraph transitions and slightly more focus would improve readability. Overall, this piece is a *thought-provoking meditation on creativity, education, and freedom*. It challenges readers to reconsider the sources of innovation and to question systems that prioritize conformity over exploration. Its value lies not in academic rigor, but in its sincerity, experiential insight, and philosophical depth. ------------------------------ If you’d like, I can: - Edit this into a *short academic-style review* - Rewrite it as a *preface or foreword* - Provide *line-by-line stylistic edits* while preserving your voice -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
