"There is an old Sanskrit word, līla, which means play. Richer than our word, it means divine play, the play of creation, destruction, and re-creation, the folding and unfolding of the cosmos. Līla, free and deep, is both the delight and enjoyment of this moment, and the play of God. It also means love. Līla may be the simplest thing there is--spontaneous, childish, disarming. But as we grow and experience the complexities of life, it may also be the most difficult and hard-won achievement imaginable, and its coming to fruition is a kind of homecoming to our true selves."--Introduction, page 1.
