Dear Jagbir,

 

Thank you for your wonderful writing, which has serious content but a

great sense of humour that often makes me burst out with great

laughter while i am sitting at the computer reading it. i can hardly

stop laughing sometime.

 

i am glad you have a great sense of humour and can see the funny side

of things. i have a picture of Shri Mataji beside me where She covers

Her Mouth with Her Hand and She is obviously trying to hide her

laughter. She told us that... " The so called religious people with all

their rituals are too serious to be realised. A realised person is

bubbling with laughter. He does not know how to control his laughter,

how to hide his joy when he sees people unnecessarily serious " .

 

Here is the passage: -

 

" Divine life does not make you serious, because it is all a play. It

is maya. The so called religious people with all their rituals are too

serious to be realised. A realised person is bubbling with laughter.

He does not know how to control his laughter, how to hide his joy when

he sees people unnecessarily serious. There is nothing in this world

for a person like Christ to feel sad about. Give up your silly sadness

and sulkings. See how Christ went and talked to the multitudes. How He

opened his heart to all the people around and how He tried to give

them happiness. Seeing their insensitivity to joy, one feels like

crying.

 

The difference between a person who is realised and not realised is

that the attention which was giving myth as reality to you is gone

now, is gone higher. The attention can see that it is a myth. The

illusion does not exist after enlightenment. For example, the human

mind believes he is doing everything, but actually he sees that he is

doing only dead work whilst all the living work is done by the Divine.

 

The mastery of your attention will come when you will start seeing

that it is all a myth that upsets you. Just throw it away and

understand that you are the eternal life. That the only thing that

keeps you away from it, is ignorance, and the ignorance is too simple

to understand that you have accepted myth as truth. Just drop it, (it)

is all myth. You will be amazed how your attention will rise and you

will see these nonsensical things which used to frighten you or elate

you, will drop out, and you will just smile at it. Only then you will

fully enjoy yourself because your attention would be completely

drenched in the bliss of Self. "
