There was a kids camp, I have freshly returned from there. I bought three or four masks, really scary masks as per my standards, and I wore those masks. I also bought a couple of rubber snakes, and I took those rubber snakes, and when the kids were sleeping, I went to them and tried to scare them. And they looked at me and went, “Eh…?” I felt hurt!
That should be your attitude. When the world comes to you with all its terrible faces, you should say, “Eh?” and go off back to sleep. “It’s okay. Fine.”
There is really no pleasure deeper than not getting disturbed when the entire world is conspiring to disturb you. This deepest pleasure is called Joy. Everybody, the entire game of situations seems hell-bent on freaking you out, on just destroying your peace, and you are looking at it with indifference. You are looking at it as if you do not know who you are talking to. “Yes? Do I know you?”
