Life is a Dream, a Burden or a Joke
(Continued from last week's Knowledge sheet)
Often when you are happy you feel life is a dream because you do not believe in the reality of it. When there is misery you feel life as a burden. And we take trivial things very seriously. But one who has really gone through the pleasure realizes that pleasure is a burden. And if you have undergone misery thoroughly you will realize that life is a dream. In every miserable condition you have been walked or carried through and you realize life is a dream. When you see life is dream a burden or a joke only then can you be centered.
And when you have really gone through misery you have really seen life as a dream. And in between the pain and pleasure life is all a joke.
Life is very uncertain. Before it takes you away, realize it is a dream, a burden or a joke.
Someone asked: What about life is a joke?
Answer: A joke you do not question. If you question a joke, it is no longer a joke. Do not question a burden either. It is a waste of time to question life and its events.
The burden makes you go deep. It gets you to the core of yourself.
Realization of a dream wakes you up. And seeing life as a joke makes you light.
The only certainty is that life is a dream, a burden or a joke and only when you realize this can you be centered.
Jai Gurudev!
