Question: Why does God make people scream with laughter?
Sri Chinmoy: God is kind to those people. He says, "Children, you are taking so much responsibility on your shoulders; you are shouldering My responsibility. Because you are carrying such a heavy load, you deserve a little bit of joy and encouragement. The most effective way to relieve you of some of this weight is to make you laugh: laugh at the world, laugh at your stupidity, laugh at your responsibility, laugh at everything. In that way you can relieve the burden that is on your shoulders."
Sri Chinmoy, Smile of the Beyond, Agni Press, 1977
