‘Yes, yes,’ said Magrat. ‘Sorry.’

When we realize the Atman, none are more special than another. Perceived special persons are designed to bring to our awareness the defects of the dualistic psyche. This is karma. If all is Atman, it is One & perfect as it is. The mind's deception is the Atman's tool to bring us back to Itself.
Who Am I? When the truth emerges as Ananda (Bliss Absolute), all the reaching for someone or something outside of Self begins to die. The seeking for fulfilment through means of enjoyment becomes unnecessary. The Ultimate Bliss has been awakened.
If any of them had chosen to look out of the window at that moment, they would have been startled by the sight of Ford Prefect dropping past them to his certain death and flipping the finger at them.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf,

A quotation from Terry Pratchett
Sometimes you laugh because you’ve got no more room for crying. Sometimes you laugh because table manners on a beach are funny. And sometimes you laugh because you’re alive, when you really shouldn’t be.
Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Nation, ch. 4 “Bargains, Covenants and Promises” (2009)
