Is Life A Rehearsal?

If we are not spiritual practitioners, then to say that life is not a rehearsal makes sense, as we are saying this is the only life, and we should make the most of it.

If we are spiritual practitioners, then to say that life is a rehearsal makes sense, as the meaning of the word ‘rehearsal’ means to practise, to get right.

For someone who’s not a spiritual practitioner, this is the only life, and we do our best to make it fulfilling.

For a spiritual practitioner, this is not the only life, and we do our best to make it fulfilling, because the next life may not be so conducive to practice.

It all depends on how much we value consciousness itself. We must be conscious of consciousness to even evaluate what life is really all about.

The question is, “Do we actually make life fulfilling, or do we just get by?”
