God’s Play and Rules of the Game

This world is a play staged by Nature for the joy of Her Lord, the Divine. There are several levels of play and as with all plays there are rules of the game set by Nature herself to make the play interesting and exciting. When we do not know the rules, we suffer needlessly. Therefore the Divine Himself comes down again and again and reveals to us the rules of the game. Yet He allows us perfect freedom to play the game as we chose to. We share something about this play from the luminous words of Sri Aurobindo on this day which also marks the Republic day of India.
