觉醒的意识接下来就会从小我那里接手过来，然后开始主导你的生活，你就会发觉长期以来一直在从事的活动，在意识赋予力量的情况下，现在自然地开始扩展到更大的规模。 经由创造性的行动，有些人只是单纯地从事他们喜欢的事情，并不想因此而功成名就，但反而丰富了很多其他人的生命。他们可能是音乐家、艺术家、作家、科学家、老师、建造者，或是他们显化了新的社会或企业的结构（开悟的企业）。有时在几年之间，他们的影响范围还是很小；然后突然之间或是逐渐地，创造性力量之波流入他们的作为，他们的作为扩展到他们自己都无法想象的地步，因而触动了无数其他的人。在享受之外，他们的作为还被注入了一股强度，因而带来了常人所不能及的创造力。 但是别让它跑进你的头脑里，因为在头脑里可能还藏有一部分苟延残喘的小我。你毕竟还是一个普通人。卓越不凡的是经由你而来到这个世界上的东西。但是你和其他所有众生都享有这样的本质。14世纪伊朗诗人和苏菲派大师哈菲兹就完美地表达了这个真理:“我是笛子上基督气息流过的气孔。倾听这音乐。”
Awakened consciousness then takes over from ego and begins to run your life. You may then find that an activity that you have been engaged in for a long time naturally begins to expand into something much bigger when it becomes empowered by consciousness. Some of those people who, through creative action, enrich the lives of many others simply do what they enjoy doing most without wanting to achieve or become anything through that activity. They may be musicians, artists, writers, scientists, teachers, or builders, or they may bring into manifestation new social or business structures (enlightened businesses). Sometimes for a few years their sphere of influence remains small; and then it can happen that suddenly or gradually a wave of creative empowerment flows into what they do, and their activity expands beyond anything they could have imagined and touches countless others. In addition to enjoyment, an intensity is now added to what they do and with it comes a creativity that goes beyond anything an ordinary human could accomplish. But don't let it go to your head, because up there is where a remnant of ego may be hiding. You are still an ordinary human. What is extraordinary is what comes through you into this world. But that essence you share with all beings. The fourteenth-century Persian poet and Sufi master Hafiz expresses this truth beautifully: “I am a hole in a flute that the Christ's breath moves through. Listen to this music.”
