On India
THEME/S
The whole creation, all this universal manifestation appears to be, at best, a very bad joke if it's meant to arrive there [dissolution]. Why begin at all if it's to get out of it! What's the use of having struggled so much, suffered so much, of having created something which, in its outer appearance at least, is so tragic and dramatic, if it's only to learn how to get out of it? It would have been better not to begin at all.
[Evolution] is not a bad joke, it is not a tortuous path that brings us back, somewhat battered, to the starting point. Quite the contrary, it is meant to teach the whole creation the joy of being, the beauty of being, the grandeur of being, the majesty of a sublime life, and the perpetual development, perpetually progressive, of this joy, this beauty, this grandeur —then, everything has a meaning.
