What is the nature of inventing, discovering, and creating?

definition
"Invention is the art of the introvert, a dance of dreams, while discovery is the science of the extrovert, revealing what is; true creation, however, emerges from the depths of reality, guided by a fundamental law beyond mere human projection."
According to Osho, inventing, discovering, and creating share a thread yet differ: invention is introvert art—imaginative projection, actual but not real, born of inner dreams; discovery is science’s extrovert detachment—simply reporting what is without coloring it; creation is different again, belonging to the real with a fundamental law behind it, not merely man’s projection.
Inventing is making things up from your heart, discovering is finding what’s already there, and creating is about what truly becomes real beyond imagination.
Why this matters practically
- Choose the right mindset: imagine and project for art; observe and report for science.
- Know when to color reality and when to let it speak, improving clarity in work and decisions.
- Recognize not everything we make is real; it humbles the ego and clarifies value.
