Laughter

[Guest guest]

Laughter, while it lasts, slackens and unbraces the

mind, weakens the faculties and causes a kind of

remissness and dissolution in all the powers of the

soul; and thus it may be looked on as weakness in the

composition of human nature. But if we consider the

frequent reliefs we receive from it and how often it

breaks the gloom which is apt to depress the mind and

damp our spirits, with transient, unexpected gleams of

joy, one would take care not to grow too wise for so

great a pleasure of life.

paths go somewhere. No path goes nowhere. Paths, places, sights,

perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and

subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not

different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of

the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always

Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart

to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the

Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It

Self. Welcome all to a.> > > > Your use of
