"The reason is not that life is suffering, but that you don’t know how to play the game. You don’t know the art, how to live it. Of course it is a suffering if you don’t know how to play the flute. And it will be a suffering to you and the neighbours and to everybody. And sooner or later you will get fed up and you will like to renounce this flute, because this is simply creating trouble for you and others.
But the flute is not at fault. It is simply that you don’t know how to play, otherwise it is capable of playing beautiful music. It can nourish you and others.
Life is very complex phenomenon. Far more complex than a flute. The life is the whole orchestra. Thousands of musical instruments together. And you have to learn all of them in such a way that you can create a harmony. That is the whole art.
And life is an opportunity. It is not to be renounced it is to be rejoiced."
