All living beings are actors on the stage called the world. They make their exit when the curtain is rung down or their part is over. On this 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 One that gives the cue. Here, some points have to be understood clearly. The prompter in worldly drama 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 cue to all the actors, irrespective of the role, be it dialogue, speech or song, just when each is in need of some help. In the same way, the Lord is behind the stage of Prakriti, giving the cue to all the actors for their various parts. So, every actor must be conscious of His Presence behind the screen of Maya. The actor must be anxious to catch the faintest suggestion He might give, always watching Him out of the corner of his eyes, and having his ears primed to catch His voice. Instead of this, if a person forgets the plot and the story, [that is to say the work one is supposed to do and the duty one has to discharge], and neglects to watch the Presence behind the screen, and simply stands dumb on the stage, the audience will laugh at his folly and accuse him of spoiling the show. Hence, every actor who has to play the role of man on the world stage must first learn the lines well, and then, remembering the Lord behind the screen, await His orders. Both aspects must receive due attention. You are only actors on the stage before the footlights. The Director Who knows the play, Who gives the cue, Who calls you in and puts you on is behind the curtain. You are a puppet; He holds the strings….. Place yourself at His disposal. He knows. He has written the play, and He knows how it would go and how it would end. Yours is but to act….. Pray that you may act well and earn His appreciation. Do all action as actors in a play, keeping your identity separate, and not attaching yourself too much to your role. Remember that the whole thing is a just play and that the Lord has assigned you a part. Act your part well. There ends your duty. He has designed the play and He enjoys it! Do not feel that your role is low and that of the other person is high. Likewise, do not feel proud when you get a high role. Do the best you can, whatever the role; that is the way to earn Grace. Thought, word and deed must all be filled with belief that it is His play. That is the genuine path. The world is a stage. All human beings are actors in this world-drama. Actions are motivated by the Will of God Who controls man’s Immortal Soul and perishable bodies. We must play the game without displaying any sort of weakness or timidity.
