April 20, 2011 – The Sun of Divine Laughter

The whole world is my seraglio
and every living being and inanimate existence in it
is the instrument of my rapture.

Sri Aurobindo

(Thoughts and Aphorisms 426)

The Sun of Divine Laughter

This delight, this wonderful laughter that dissolves every shadow, every pain, every suffering! You only have to go deep enough within yourself to find the inner Sun, to let yourself by flooded by it; and then there is nothing but a cascade of harmonious, luminous, sunlit laughter, which leaves no room for any shadow or pain…

And this Sun, this Sun of divine laughter is at the centre of all things, the truth of all things: we must learn to see it, to feel it, to live it.

And for that, let us avoid people who take life seriously; they are very boring people.

As soon as the atmosphere becomes grave you can be sure that something is wrong, that there is a troubling influence, an old habit trying to reassert itself, which should not be accepted. All this regret, all this remorse, the feeling of being unworthy, of being at fault- and then one step further and you have the sense of sin. Oh! To me it all seems to belong to another age, an age of darkness.
