I thought this may be of interest. The following quote is from E.M.
Cioran's book, Anathema's and Admirations:
*
No one had to the same degree as he a sense of the world's absurdity.
Each time I alluded to it, he would utter, with a smile of complicity,
the Sanskrit word lila --
absolute gratuitousness, according to the Vedanta, the creation of the
world by divine caprice. How we laughed at everything together! And
now, he -- the most jovial of the disabused -- here he is, cast into
this slough by his own fault, since he has deigned, for once, to take
nothing seriously.
