Fools make you laugh. Fools keep you happy. Fools are very essential. God is bored with wise people. He likes fools. He loves fools. Even the job of God is very foolish. Why does He make leaves fall every autumn? He does it over and over again.

The tree is tired shedding all the leaves, becoming dry, and again growing new leaves, season after season, again and again. The Creator is a bad economist. He doesn't know any economics. He wastes things. So many people are being born and they all die. And they spend thirty, forty years studying. Einstein studied all his life.

He became so wise. If God would have granted him another hundred years, he could have accomplished even more. God doesn't seem to understand it. He brings even more children into the world. It is bad economics, isn't it? Creation is continuing.

There is no aim. There is no purpose. When somebody does something aimlessly, without any meaning, without any purpose, you call them a fool. We want to find a reason for everything, a purpose for everything.

We want to analyze and understand everything. People even try to understand their dreams. What is the use? Whatever dream you have had, so what? Whether you are sitting on horseback or on top of a train in your dream; whether you see a crow or a duck or a dream, what does it matter? Why do you waste so much time interpreting dreams, understanding dreams, trying to know something about dreams? We call ourselves wise because we want to understand.

We want to do something only if we get something out of it. A fool is somebody who does something and doesn't get anything out of it. Their foolish acts, even those you can interpret into meaning and purpose, you see they do them without any purpose, without any meaning. Since childhood we have been told, "Don't be a fool." What is wrong with being a fool?

What is wrong with standing alone, apart from the crowd? "Let the crowd act however it wants. I stand apart from that. I act my way." God is not a communist. If God wanted to be communist, He would make every place on earth the same.

There wouldn't be any mountains. It would all be even, like a desert. Everything would be the same. Yet the world is not so. The world is full of variety. There are so many different kinds of people living on this planet. Different types of noses-no two people have the same nose. So many varieties are there and such uniqueness. Not even two fingerprints match.

A fool is somebody who does something very unique, which is not accepted by others. All entertainment, including games, are foolish acts. Just think if a person from another planet, maybe Mars, comes here and sees a huge crowd watching a team of boys on this side and another team on that side, trying to fight for a ball and put it into a basket.

It would appear absolutely funny! One ball in the middle, a team of boys here, trying to push it there, trying to push it that way. Why all this trouble? Why don't they just take the ball and put it in the basket? What difference does it make whether they put it in this basket or that basket? It is so foolish, playing soccer, playing basketball.

For hours together other people sit there, howling and yelling and clapping. You should see the whole drama. There is really nothing in it. Or cricket-somebody throws a ball, another person hits it and what do you get for hitting a ball? George Bernard Shaw said somewhere, "Cricket is a game where eleven fools play and eleven thousand watch." It is true.

All games are foolish acts. The greatest problem for us is being a fool. We try not to be fool. All our life we resist and fear arises in us. A fool is one who acts with freedom, who has all freedom, isn't it? That is how he could be a fool.

If somebody has not experienced freedom, he cannot be a fool. Freedom is behind every fool. God loves you being a fool. He doesn't love wise men so much. He is bored of their theses and philosophies. He is terribly bored by all the books written about Him.
