I AM FOR LIFE, ALL FOR LIFE, and all for ENJOYMENT. I am not for somber seriousness, I am not for sadness. I am against all those religions which go on teaching people to be serious. GOD IS NOT SERIOUS; otherwise flowers won’t exist. God is not serious; otherwise birds won’t be able to sing. God is tremendously in fun — that’s why we say in India that the creation is not a creation in fact but a play, a leela.
GOD IS PLAYING, he is like a child running hither and thither. Out of sheer energy, overflowing, enjoying, dancing a thousand and one dances, singing a thousand and one songs — never exhausted, he goes on innovating, goes on peopling the earth. Each person is his new way of dance and each person is his new effort to sing again, to love again, to live again. Each person is again a project, again an effort. He is never tired. INFINITE IS HIS PLAY.

MOTHERHOOD is a great meditation. Motherhood is ONE OF THE GREATEST ARTS: YOU ARE CREATING AN ALIVE BEING.
THE SCULPTOR IS NOTHING COMPARED TO THE MOTHER, because he will be creating only a marble statue. The painter is nothing, the poet is nothing, the singer is nothing, the musician is nothing — because they will be playing with things, objects. The mother is the greatest poet and the greatest painter and the greatest musician and the greatest sculptor, because SHE IS CREATING A CONSCIOUSNESS — LIFE ITSELF.
