Does God Laugh ??

[Guest guest]

Some of our sadhakas when gain a little hight in sadhna, become so

serious that we cant find happiness on their face.

 

I am sure when God laughed, the universe was created. His

laughter is there in the running galaxies, in the dancing trees, in

smiling flowers, in thundering clouds, in bursting volcanoes, in

restless seas.

 

Our laughter is just a ripple in the silent lake. HIS laughter

is the lake itself sans ripples. When he smiles in us, we become

spiritual. All fears, all logics, all our hatered, all our sorrows

are shattered when his laughter comes to our surface.

 

When i see our saints (so-called) with face so serious as if

they have never laughed in many births, i really doubt their

spirituality.

 

An Urdu poet has written " Khuda jab husan deta hai....Nazakat

aa hi jaati hai ! Kadam ruk-ruk ke chalte hain...kamar bal kha hi

jaati hai"....If god give beauty to a girl, she need not learn how

to show it...people will know the beauty and love in her from her

tenderness, her drunken steps and twisting of her waist.

 

so how come when God has smiled in us, we are making serious

and sorry figure...not laughing not making people laugh !!!

 

So let us start laughing today, not our laughter but in tune

with the laughter of the God !!!

Laughing and smiling are two very important things and related very

much to the energetical level of our astral and etherical bodies. The

nadis often have blockages and that why the energy doesnt flow freely.

Smiling and laughing though, have such a great power that make the

energy flow freely through the nadis(energy channels). Actually, I

believe that this is the origin of the mystical experiences of bliss

or ananda. Extremely big amounts of energy, creat such harmonious and

blissful feelings that are higher that the feelings of love we get in

this world. This is also one of the reasons why people live for loving

others, because this devotion concentrates the mind and raises the

energy levels. And thats why love makes people softer and better,

always smiling. Because it makes them spiritual and opens their

channels! And then there is no room for negativity or fear.

and I wanted to add, that this is the state (ananda) that yogis are

trying to achieve, through pranayama control of energy and other yogic

disciplines. These do nothing else than raising the level of energy

flow in our bodies.

Namaskaram and Hari Om all,

 

i believe that deep within, the core of our being exists in the mode of

happyness. It is not effected by the turmoils that we sometimes face in life.

Our Sadhana practice harmonizes all the functions in our body and also all that

which we come across in life and it gives us a feeling of inner balance so that

we may be fit for life in every way. Bit by bit our Sadhana takes away all the

layers of illusion so-to-say that we often harbour within and unravels all that

which covers our own ability to perceive the divine Truth - God in our heart.

When we realize God and know He is there and understand that our nature is an

aspect of His, then we too are in mode of happyness.

 

Many saints are very jolly people. I have met some who crack a lot of jokes and

make their deciples very happy and at times convey the deep Truths in a comical

way. I believe being happy is our true nature.

Tks dear deepa for the reply

 

Yes you are right that many of the saints are jolly. This is

what i wished to say too. If we have reached to the source of bliss

in us, the laughters have to reach the surface.

 

So if we see a babji, all serious never laughing never loving

can we say he has not yet reached the truth ?

 

Guru Granthh sahib declares :

 

Sachi Kahun

Sun lehu Sabhi

Jin Prem kiyo

tin hi prabhu payo !!

 

" It is a truth...all listen carefully.....

Only those who LOVED

reached God "

Dear Beirut ka baba,

 

thank you for you comment. I wish to say the following to answer

you question:

 

"So if we see a babji, all serious never laughing never

loving can we say he has not yet reached the truth?"

 

In the context of my thoughts on the theme "god does not laugh??" I only spoke

about the aspect that our true nature is happyness and that we attain true

happyness when we are consciously connected to the core of our being which is

the abode of divinity. People who are based in the center of their being, live

in happyness. Even if they face hardship too.

 

This however does not imply that a person who may seem serious is not happy

within or not enlightend. When we meet a Guru he so-to-say shows us a mirror

that give us a picture of who we really are, where we are in our spriritual

developement etc. This moment can be sometimes hard to take, as a Guru can be

very strict. He can demand a lot from us and we may feel a bit uncomfortable.

But actually the best Gurus are those who show us the mirror and help us to

descard all the impurities within.

 

And if a Guru appears to be very serious, it does not mean that he has no

happyness within, does not laugh at all. We cannot know everything about a Guru.

Nevertheless even in that seriousness there is joy that is beyond our limited

concept of joy or happyness. And Gurus and saints have a very individual way of

showing their love, compassion, knowlege and humor etc.

 

Some show us the mirror in a more serious way, other in a more joyfull way. The

interesting part about the Guru is that his presence may be silent, but his

silence and also physical absense still speaks of joy, love, truth.

 

I have mostly seen tremendoes joy in the faces of Gurus and enlightend people.

But what we see is only a reflection of our own mind and what we have

experience.

 

Hope this clarifies your question.

I agree with my fellow sadhaka. Through times endless the wolves

have worn the disguise of sheep to misleed those in need of guidance.

The guru always lies within, and the fortunate come in contact with

the gurudeva who embodies that inner guidance so that they may have

no "personal gain", but so that they may help lift the veil off

others.

As these are all manifestiations from the universal thought; this

shows how the macro & microcosm relate. Our own inner thoughts can be

very misleading even though ego may tell us it is right. It is also

the same in outer life when we become cautious as to who we should

listen to, follow, etc. So as we exist within and as the one

conciousness may we deal with others as we would our own inner

thoughts, because our own thought of existence is a wave of thought

from the omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent self(waves in the

ocean). Please excuse the length of the message. I come from love, I

act from love, I am love, I AM.

Blessings to you all and may your works prosper,

My dear Haripriya,

 

Your thoughts are as beautiful as you name. When you wrote "The

truth......what we see is only a reflection of our own mind and what

you said so many things in one sentences, which perhaps many books

cant explain.

 

Now does it mean, if we see sorrow, hatered, anger in other's

face...is it possible that it is due to our own reflections. And if

we are internally peaceful, and joyous, the other standing before

us, frowning/hating/fighting, will be affected ? If it is so it is

going to solve the greatest problems of humanity.

Hope i m not considered a dirty child asking too many questions !!

[Guest guest]

Dear Beirut ka Baba,

 

let me try to answer your question refering to my statement on the idea that we

see a reflection of our own mind and what we have experienced.

 

This was your question:

 

...."if we see sorrow, hatered, anger in other's

face...is it possible that it is due to our own reflections. And if we are

internally peaceful,

and joyous, the other standing before us,

frowning/hating/fighting, will be affected ?

 

You quoted my words:

"The interesting part about the Guru is that his presence may be silent,but his

silence and also physical absense still speaks of joy, love, truth......what we

see is only a reflection of

our own mind and what we have experience

 

First of all I see two aspects here:

 

1. That the silence and even the absense of a Guru still speaks. And that his

words are woven in a so-to-say tapastry of love, knowingness, compassion, truth

and at times they also seem strict. We can perceive that if we are intuned to

the Guru, or if our heart and mind are open to the gifts that he has in stock

for us.

 

2. What we perceive is subject to how much we understand, how open we are, in

what way we are preconditioned or how the tapastry of our mind is woven. We all

have a unique pattern that forms our character and that enables us to either

understand more or less or non. It depends on what we have learnt, how we were

raised and what we have experienced, how we live and even what we eat.

 

So when we meet a Guru and experience or learn something then our impression

somehow tries to match to the pattern that we habour within. Our perceptions can

be individually different depending on the conditions that are already there in

us. We try to recognize that which is already within us. That is also the reason

why some people recognize a Guru, while others don't. But they may recognize an

other Guru. It is like being at home with a Guru or feeling at home in a certain

religion. That home is already presented in our own tapastry within. So we

recognize something or someone whom we already know in a way.

 

But with reference to your question there is a third aspect:

 

And if we are internally peaceful,

and joyous, the other standing before

us,

frowning/hating/fighting, will be

affected ?

 

Well here the cosmic law of attraction plays a role. It is true that what we

experience hasoften a lot to do with the way we think. We tend to build our

outer world according to the way we think. Like if we want to eat some certain

food we try to get it. And according to our determination and what we have, we

either get it or not. Our determination and also faith in ourselves and what we

do makes the cosmic law of attraction either work for us or seemingly against

us. We attract that which we invite so to say. When we try to do something that

may seem impossible then we may not get it strait away but if we are determined

we may still there, because this determination can attract the attention of

others who will want to help us. Therefore the cosmic law of atttraction is also

expressed in the phrase: "God helps those who help themselves"

 

And God has given us a free will so if we have too many hostile thoughts we meet

those with whom we can fight together or fight against. God lets us commit our

mistakes, so that we may learn by doing them and eventually evolve.

 

If we have genuine love within then we meet those who want our love or those who

are willing to give love too. However sometimes when we are in mode of goodness

and love then we sometimes meet people who think we may be kind but

unintelligent. Goodness is often misunderstood to be a form of some sort of

foolishness. They think they can make a fool of us.

 

But we experience this not because God or nature is unfair, but because being

determined is something that has to be practiced and performend with

consciouness and we need to be alert. Life and the people we are around test us

in many ways.

 

We need to observe our thoughts and actions. Dertermination needs a lot of

strength. If we want something but always say "oh I wish I could have this or

that" we will most probably not get it, because in teh conditional tense

expresses that we don't really believe that we can get what we want. We need to

alter our phrase to perhaps " I need this or I am going to see to it that I get

this or that". Then the law of attraction works for us. Then things fuse in the

way we may need it to accomplish something.

 

However we should never neglect the ethical values in our actions and leave them

out of our mind and heart. We should not make the law of attraction work of us

is such a way that it may harm an other. That is not what it is there for. The

law of attraction is there so that we may achieve our goals but we have to act

with ethics. That is why in Yoga they say that we should first master the

practice the Yamas ( the regulations as to how we go about with others) and

Niyamas (code of conduct for our private life) before we go on to the other

desciplines.

 

So I believe if we really practice these values by being in our own workshop

every day and working things out that are left undone within us then we can

purify ourselves. Slowly but surely we will beautify our own pattern within. It

is the divine beauty that comes out when we purify

ourselves and this can make our life more fulfilling.

 

But it all depends on how much we have purified ourselves. The world can only be

better if everybody works on himself or herself. Spirituality is hard work. And

the law of attration is an expression of divine grace.

The law of attraction is an expression of God's grace.
