play
/plā/
verb
1. engage
in activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose.
2. take part
in (a sport).
Noun
1. activity engaged in for enjoyment and
recreation, especially by children2. the space in or through which a mechanism can or does move
So often I (we) think of play in terms of
children. This was reinforced as I read different definitions and most of them sited
that it is an activity for children. In Sanskrit, the word for play is lila (or leela) and very
curiously I didn't find any references to lila and children.
lila लीला
certain sweet
and playful goodness that characterizes a universe whose essential nature is Shakti
(the powerful, energetic principle).
How can we/I incorporate both play lila
into my daily life?
To do something each day for the shear sake
of enjoyment?
To engage with, connect and remember the
essential nature of the universe - the sweetness, the goodness of Shakti
