-- almost to the very brink. But the same thing can be creative. That's what I want you to be.
If a collective soul can be destructive, why not creative? If people can move with such totality, such involvement and commitment that they are not there and something bigger controls them, then why cannot the same be used for creativity?
And this is my understanding: if it is not done for creativity, again and again it will be used for destructiveness. If you cannot create groups which can enjoy being together in music, in poetry, in singing and dancing, people are going to shout in the streets, scream, go berserk, destroy... unless we can create just a parallel world of people who are creative in their togetherness. Individuals have been creative, but the problem is this -- that groups have been destructive and individuals have been creative. The individuals are bound to fail.
When a Hitler comes, he creates a group. When a Mozart comes, he plays individually. When a Mussolini comes, he creates a destructive harmony. The same is to be done by a Buddha also... exactly parallel. And if you can give people a creative togetherness, who is going to be destructive? Nobody. In fact the whole charm of the destruction is not in destruction -- it is in being together.
Let this be nailed into your heart -- that the whole charm is of being together. People are fed up with themselves. They want to lose themselves somewhere, in an orgy -- that is the attraction. But if you can give them a creative togetherness, they will not go in a destructive direction. There is no need -- they will be so fulfilled.
So this is just a beginning, remember. Everything that I am doing is a beginning. You may not be aware of what is going to happen.
More and more people will join, so let the base be perfectly solid. When new people come, you Will be twenty. When one new person comes he is bound to flow with the twenty -- if the twenty are in harmony. If these twenty are not in harmony, he will go on his own way. Then it becomes a crowd. It will be destructive... it will create chaos. Even music can be destructive.
