Leela

Leela:

 Its' exact meaning is playful, non-serious activity, which may be delusion or real: basically difficult to recognize whether real or dream. According to eastern philosophers this world is Leela. It should not be taken very seriously. When we take it very seriously, we get in to stress. World is perishable, dynamic, ever changing: Continuous cycle of creation and destruction. If we try to hold it in status quo, or believe it to be static, we are bound to get disappointed. We never existed, now we exist, after few years we won’t exist. Time runs so swiftly. It is difficult to catch a particular situation as permanent state of world because it doesn’t exist. Nothing is more dynamic than universe. Everything keeps moving, changing, living, dying etc. It is extremely swift and dynamic.

Eastern philosophers always suggested us to take it lightly because it is bound to perish, change, and disappear. We can never have ideal world: the way we want. None has it; none can have it, even for single second. Moment you attain ideal world, it will start to change. Many people tried to change, rule, arrange, develop earth (not even universe!) many times; in human history. None of them succeeded. Not even a single example in whole human history, none could control this earth, the whole population, as he wanted.

Following conclusions are quite visible from above facts. Human life, existence, world is very dynamic. We should try to attain few ideals as way to perfection of life, but taking it too seriously might bring disappointment. By dropping your ego and acting as means to welfare of humanity can bring you extreme satisfaction and relief. Never get too attached to your self-image: few years back we were kids, now adult, then old age will come. Attachment to self image is very common and natural. There is nothing abnormal about. But wise should recognize that it is very dynamic. It keeps changing. Look at world as 'play of creator'. You are a player not creator. You have to play the role assigned to you. Role will keep changing. From childhood to professional life to end, it never exists for long time. Attempt to be playful, non serious, sportsman, can bring huge happiness to you.
