 his
world is His Play, it is not an empty dream; it has purpose and use.
It is the means by which we can discover God; see Him in the beauty,
grandeur, the order, the majesty of nature. these are but shadows of
His glory and His Splendour. The play is His, the role is his gift,
the lines are written by Him; He directs, He decides the dress and
decoration, the gesture and the tone, the entrance and the exit. You
have to act well the part and receive His approbation, when the
curtain falls. Earn, by your efficiency and enthusiasm, the right to
play higher and higher roles - that is the meaning and purpose of
life. Do not worry about anything. Place yourself fully at His
disposal, He knows. He has written the Play and He knows how it will
end and how it will go on. Yours is but to act and retire. The Lord
alone is aware of the Play, for His is the Plan! You see only the
part of the Play on the stage and so it is all very confused. When
the entire story is unfolded, then you will appreciate His plan, not
until then; for that, you will have to get behind the screen of Maya
and contact the Director Himself. While you are an actor on the
stage reciting your role, you cannot grasp the inner meaning of the
entire play which has the 'World' as the stage ang 'ages' as the
duration. You are only actors on the stage, before the footlights.
The Director who knows the Play, who assigns the roles, who gives
the cues, who calls you in and puts you on - He is behind the
curatin. You're a puppet, He holds the strings. You are only working
out His plan... - Sri Sathya Sai
