Articles: Devotion | The Secret of Bliss

You are God playing the role of all these people. And so He says that you should always think as though you were an actor in a play. Playing your part; even picking your part; feeling your part with all your might - but you never forget who you really are; that when the play is finished you go home. You should always think of yourself as just a player in this drama of life that goes through everyday in front of us. We are just playing that part; we are on our way to go to God.
And He said that: “If this drama ever seems to become real to you, then deny its reality!” You are not his body or this mind or this personality – that is just a part that we are playing in the Divine drama of the Lord; we must play it to the best of our ability, but never forget who we really are!
A lady – millionaire, big home, lovely family - in the play she plays the part of the street lady. Too much sorrow and anguish, and when she weeps the audience weep with her. Even though she is playing her part so dramatically and so realistically; do you think she ever forgets who she really is?
But when the play is over, she will take off the paint and the wig and get in her Rolls Royce and go home! She never forgets that! Likewise it should be with us. No matter how much we get involved in this maya (illusion) of the world; we should never allow ourselves to believe that it is really we who are involved – we are God; we are the witness of all this. We are God playing a particular part on the way back to Him.
So if we wish to find this fountain of Bliss; this ecstasy ever fresh; then we must think these things through and reach the firm conclusion that we are Divine. Swami says: “This ‘I’; without anything added to it – I am a man; I am a woman; I am big; I am small; I am young; I am old – just ‘I’; that ‘I’ is God. That is God.”
