Question: Are great artists inspired spiritually, and is their art an expression of their soul?

Sri Chinmoy: If they are spiritual, then only will they be inspired spiritually. Otherwise, art as a piece of delightful expression can come from the mental plane or from the vital plane or from the physical plane.
