THOUGHT FOR THE DAY as written at Prasanthi Nilayam Today
All living beings are actors on this stage. They make their exit when the
curtain is rung down or when their part is over. On that stage, one may play
the part of a thief, another may be cast as a king, a third may be a clown, and
another a beggar. For all these characters in the play, there is only One who
gives the cue! The prompter will not come upon the stage and give the cue, in
full view of all. If He does so, the drama will lose interest. Therefore,
standing behind a screen at the back of the stage, He gives the cue to all the
actors, regardless of their role - be it dialogue, speech, or song- just when
each is in most need of help. In the same way, the Lord is behind the screen on
the stage of Prakriti (Creation), giving the cue to all the actors for their
various parts.
