Every
day we rise in the morning and with that starts the circus we have put
ourselves into. Flurry of activities to be done occupy the mind. Ticking of the
clock keeps reminding us what has to be done and what to be skipped.
We are
just living like a sophisticated designed animal that can express widely but
has forgotten that aspect inconveniently. Expressions are not the exercises our
minds used to emerge into anymore; it’s just the exasperated anguish of our
hearts and mind.
It
brings me to this central question which has occupied my mind ever since I have
started thinking where will I collide eventually. What am I seeking?
All the
religious scriptures offer a rather common view of divinity is the final destination.
Material ideas of a place called Heaven. Am I running day in day out to reach a
place I have no idea about?
Religions
have made God a very expensive commodity that is not available unless the
prescribed rituals are followed or certain acts are orchestrated. Is that the
ultimate culmination of the purpose of life?
Money,
Success, Position, Power they seldom satiate our constant need to move on. These
are just benchmarks of the process. Does this process have an end? Do we really
know what are we really seeking?
We are
exactly same like the Deer running in the forest trying to find the Kasturi
which is in its own belly. We are trying to find ourselves. The process we
seldom realize is the upliftment of the self. We lack at introspection. The idea
of even sitting alone doing nothing gives us a squirm. We are so busy doing
other things that our own self is neglected.
Gym and
playing games is a very healthy practice for our bodies. Do we exercise our
brain, intellect and thoughts equally? Do we really bother what forms our
thought process, why do we take positions that we take.
Today
the world is really a very small global village with communications. But, humans
are far away from themselves to be close to others.
The
popular term “Mid Life Crisis” is nothing but a position where you feel
satisfied with what you have achieved as off now, but when you look back you
feel was it worth all the sacrifice? Was this my goal when I did start with
life? Is this what I want to die doing?
Let’s
give a little time to ourselves to realize what we need. If you really can
answer what you are seeking, you will understand the purpose of life is
bettering yourself to better the environment.
