so you are bound and I am bound'
Where is freedom then?...
For the Baul, life is not a serious thing.
It is fun, it is laughter, it is joy. So you cannot find anything like the seriousness of a church-goer, or the long faces of so-called religious people, in the world of the Bauls. They love laughter, they love fun. They enjoy small things with tremendous respect.
Ordinarily, religions are very long-faced, very sombre, serious...
Because they have to be.
They are against life.
the beloved vol.1
(1977) - ch.9
