Play the game

Warning: this is going to be poetic.

Day by day life feels like a play. Sun and the Moon are two different spotlights under which we perform. (Oh but what about the nights when the moon isn’t present? Well, take a break on that day. Don’t get technical.)

It feels like we have these roles to perform. And suddenly once you see life from the perspective of a play or as it is called in Sanskrut: leela, you seem to want to play your role even strongly.

You want to sort of enjoy the ‘character' you are without being reckless. At the same time you feel pretty detached from the character you are playing.

Actors who take the character with them after a movie/play are diagnosed with a disorder. So it is wise to feel detached. To simply play the leela and then while exiting, thank the audience.

My yoga guru told us about this theory once after meditation. She told us to look at life as roles you need to fill. But the being inside you is completely aware that these are transient roles. Life itself is transient. What is only permanent is the energy that channels through your being.

And that was beautiful. This thought / theory gives me so much peace inside. I feel more enthusiastic about life at the same time I feel emotionally detached from it. Does that make sense?

Have a great weekend!
