Is Life a Tragedy or a Comedy?

Why do we exist? Are we here to suffer? Is life a tragedy? Or, is life a cosmic joke? Are we the punchline? Is the joke on us? 

Sometimes, it's easy to wonder why we are here on this Earth if life is so full of suffering. But one thing is clear; there is a way out of this suffering. The more seriously we take life, the more we suffer. The more attached we are to the physical world, the more we suffer. And the more consumed we are by desire, the more we suffer.

Only when we tap into the spiritual dimension, can we find the everlasting joy and humor in the physical one.

In today's podcast, I share how we can connect to the deeper reality of our existence. I talk about how to stop taking life so seriously, how to develop a sense of humor about it all, and how to release the immense and needless pressure we put on ourselves.

Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living. Remember to subscribe to stay up-to-date.
