God is our eternal playmate. How beautifully He is playing! The play is

finished when the cycle: comes to an end. There is rest for a shorter

or longer time; again all come out and play. It is only when you forget

that it is all play and that you are also helping in the play, it is

only then that misery and sorrows come. Then the heart becomes heavy,

then the world weighs upon you with tremendous power. But as soon as

you give up the serious idea of reality as the characteristic of the

changing incidents of the three minutes of life and know it to be but a

stage on which we are playing, helping Him to play, at once misery

ceases for you.
