Question: What kind of jokes do the cosmic gods and spiritual Masters tell each other in Heaven?

Sri Chinmoy: The cosmic gods and the spiritual Masters do enjoy jokes. They enjoy jokes about earth's self-imposed responsibility. They enjoy jokes about Heaven's promise to earth, which remains only a promise and does not become a reality on the physical plane. And when earth says that it has done everything that it can for God, which is totally absurd, the cosmic gods enjoy earth's stupidity. The cosmic gods and spiritual Masters enjoy jokes when Heaven says that earth is too weak and too impure for Heaven to keep on helping it. They also laugh at Heaven's stupid, baseless estimation of earth's capacity. Whenever stupidity looms large as a reality-conviction either in Heaven or on earth, the cosmic gods and spiritual Masters make jokes about it. Stupidity's self-aggrandised capacity the cosmic gods always joke about, for stupidity can never conquer the reality. It is the reality, the divinity, that will eventually conquer stupidity, not by punishing it but by loving it. The face of stupidity and the mind of stupidity can and will be transformed.
