My Master was asked by another disciple, “Do You watch movies?” He replied, “Movies are made to be seen.” Yet, in spiritual growth, it is said to stay away from movies. If you get emotionally affected, then it is better to avoid seeing them. If you watch movies to entertain yourself, to witness and enjoy the performance of everyone involved, then it is fine. After watching the movie, you can spend some time reflecting on how much you enjoyed it and then forget all about it. I should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for watching the most movies in movie theaters. I miss movie theaters, as they are all currently closed due to the pandemic. A spiritual aspirant can learn from the stories depicted in the movies. Many of my thoughts are inspired by movies. I go to remind myself that I am the scriptwriter, director, actor, producer, and witness of the movie of my life. I am enjoying this show of life to entertain myself. Above all, God is laughing while watching the movie of my life. — Satish Daryanani
