Tejomoyee Ma discusses how people are given certain roles to play in life. These roles changes constantly, and people have to adjust accordingly.
When things are going well, we are happy, but as soon as the sequence changes and situation turns against our wishes, people become miserable, longing for the happiness they had before, and desiring to end the current situation.
But the roles are given by the director - God. If we understand this then we won’t take it so seriously. When director says to cry - you cry, when director says to smile - you smile. Accept it as it comes. Actors accept the roles that come from the director. So people should accept the roles coming from God.
If we understand this, then life becomes easy. No need to be so serious.
People always ask for bigger and better roles. Bhagavan related a story from his younger theater days when one of the young boys in his play wanted a bigger and better role. Bhagavan agreed. But then the boy died on his way home, never having a chance to fulfill the dreamed of role. People should live in the present moment, their present role, we have no idea what will come next and when.
Every day try to enjoy the moment. People are always stressed and planning things, they cannot even smile. Bhagavan says people need to enjoy their life, enjoy the present moment, whatever it is.
Tejomoyee relays the example of Bhagavan at this day and age (2018, aged 76), how beautiful He is feeling, despite having pain in his lower back and other physical health issues. He is so content, so happy, He has no desires at all. He lives completely in the present moment, whatever the role. Bhagavan says whoever comes to Him, He will give 100%.
