Q: How can we get out of the cycle of life and death?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: Why do you want to do that? It is because you are tired of this. So that is why I say - if you get into meditation, you will find peace.

When you are playing, if you get tired you go home and rest. When you feel rested you are ready to play again. When someone who is playing is tired they need rest. They get some rest and then go out to play again. This is what liberation is.

We have come here (to this world) to play. The one who is liberated likes to come back again. This is what Shankarcharya also said in Bhaja Govindam - “My house is up in the heaven, called Surataru, here I have just come to play for a while".
