Be Here Now under Maharajji’s blanket as Shiva Das returns to the podcast. We discuss shoulda, coulda, woulda, being present, the judgmental mind, oneness and Baba’s pretend podcast nemesis Joe Rogan infiltrates the episode with his army of alt-right white-men with toxic-masculine white-daddy seeking syndrome. All of our discussion is related to our spiritual awakening.
“Humor puts things in perspective. There are many levels of humor. There is a humor of survival, a humor of sex and gratification, a humor connected with power. Beyond all these there is a humor that is filled with compassion.
It is reflected in the tiny upturn in the mouth of the Buddha, for he sees the humor in the universal predicament. All beings are lost in illusion, yet he knows that they will awaken from that illusion for they are, at heart, already enlightened. He knows that what seems so hard to them is from another perspective their own path to liberation.
Often the perspectives about yourself and the universe that you arrive at through meditation make you want to giggle or laugh. This giggle is without malice. It’s a cosmic giggle, one that I identify with my guru, Maharaj-ji. For his giggle was not of this world. It was not a social or personality giggle, but rather a cosmic chuckle, the delight in the fun of it all. His giggle was from the plane that gives us the term “lila,” the divine dance of life.”
