  • Life Is A “Lila” (A Cosmic Divine Play)

    Life is a lila.

    “Lila” means divine play in Sanskrit.

    We are simply a small part in this cosmic play.

    I’ve learned to simply let go and dance with life.

    Of course like any human I get caught up in the seriousness of life at times and I can also put on act.

    But, I often remind myself, of how life is a lila.

    There is no rhyme or reason.

    It’s just a beautiful play.

    Like a kid playing so freely or artist writing or painting.

    We are playing for the sake of playing.

    We are doing art for the sake of art.

    Like any human, I am flawed and have had many experiences.

    However, through it all, I’ve learned there is no such thing as good or bad, success or failure. It just is.

    There is no morality, right or wrong.

    Life is purely happenstance.

    The very fact of our existence and how we came to be is pure coincidence.

    So to put a purpose or meaning to life is foolish.

    We are simply here to do whatever we choose.

    Life is a lila, a cosmic play.
