Music is conceived before written and perceived physically through the ear. Words are symbols with attached meaning conceived in thought prior to being physically written down and read with the eyes. A work of art is first conceived within the mind visually prior to being painted by the hands and seen by others.

It all begins with thought, whether it is the manifestation of the perfect mate or the piece of music in your head - creation is not of the body. The body is simply a tool to perceive the creation.

This is why action comes last, and as a means to experience the creation.
Yes I get your view but I partially agree with saying that its the mind alone that creates. Mind alone also doesnt create. You need both the mind and the body to create. Taking action is a part of creation. You cannot separate it.
