GOD'S BIGGEST JOKE!

Mani S. Irani

 
Is it very difficult to be with a Perfect master? Well, frankly it is not really easy, but on the other hand what Baba fills our life with more than makes up for everything.

Life anywhere is a challenge, but with Baba one learns that worries are not so monumental as we thought them after all. He teaches us to maintain a better balance of truer values and not to worry over spiritually lesser ones. He often brings our emotions to the surface so we have to face them as this is the way to overcome them. We must not take things too seriously, and never lose a sense of humor.

Baba used to have one of us read jokes every afternoon, and someone asked why He liked jokes. Baba replied because the Universe is God's biggest joke!
