Purpose of Life !!
We always desire a lot from Life.. Everyone is searching for happiness without realizing the actual source of happiness.. We keep running after materialist things throughout our life..
Most of us don't even know the 'Purpose of Life'.. They take the Life as a journey and continue to explore it... Some people just live to eat and sleep. Some are just too rigid and can't be flexible, adaptive. Some are too emotional and sensitive to break down in any situation...
It hurts to see that people can't live peacefully on this beautiful earth. We fight over small, petty things instead of loving everyone around us. We don't know what might happen to us at the very next moment... a calamity,death,disease, anything horrid can strike. Just yesterday, I heard one of my acquintances is detected with a deadly- 'blood cancer'. Isn't it touching that we keep fighting to satify our egos, not knowing how precious our life is? How beautiful life could be if we could forget these petty things and live the happy moments in life..
We keep remembering the bad things in past instead of relishing the good times that came along with it.
Someone has said it so well : "We keep rememebering our worst enemy all the times and don't think about God as much." Had it been the other way round.. We would have no enemies... But, the reason we don't think on those lines is because we don't know the purpose of Life.
The ultimate truth is that everyone seeks happiness.. be it in family, richness, adventure, work, materialistic, emotions ,etc.. A person might appear contended but his heart is also searching that happiness. Well, Does that mean we all are selfish beings ?
Vedanta has segragated humbeings in 5 broad categories based on their behaviour, mind-set towards life. These categories are : Stone , Vegetation, Animal , Human, and God-like ,which further have 7 subsets each, creating 35 levels.
When we take birth on earth we start at one of the above categories.. But, all of us are not at the same level since our past Karmas decide the start point of our re-birth. This is called the Karma Theory. Again, its in our hands to be stagnant, fall down or rise from one level to another.
We all tend to cling to things - person/place/emotions/possessions... Do we know that we came alone in this world and have nothing permanent here. Nothing goes with you when you die, no emotions, no relations, nothing.. forget about the money! Only thing that goes with you is your Karmas and your development.
Then why do we feel isolated and lonely ? Why can't we trust and love everyone around us? Why do we worry and why do we Expect? Why do we cheat others? So many unanswered questions...
The Stairway to Heaven is like a Soapy, slippey stairwcase - when you take one step upwards, you tend to fall down 2 steps.. You can't buy the Stairway to Heaven with the enormous Gold you might have accumulated, you have to have the patience, courage , belief to walk on it !!!
Its solely in our hands whether we lead this Life as a mere Journey on Earth or Achieve our Ultimate Goal !
~ OM Shanti !!

Amazing blog!!! pefect blend of philosophy and critics involved.Good example of Vedanta depicted.
I think you had left all the questions unanswered and to be filled by some supernatural power.You could have formed some approach or solution to solve these problems, as this is the situation most of us are facing today in our lives.
Keep the good work going!!!
great ...why we feel lonely because we trying find solece at wrong place ...expecting happiness to come from outside.. any thing coming from out side would involve other person and when it depends on other person then so many more factors play their role and influance it so naturally results will be much different ...true sourse of happiness is inside us and once connected to that then no one would be lonly or alone ....this world is a school.. we all come to learn lessons and till we learn the real lesson and pass our exam.we have to again and again apear for exam.so life is actully learning prosess...
too high fundo.. too much difficult for simple ppl like us to understand :P
Really impressed...i think its touching as the same time too philosphical to be understood by normal ppl like us...i can only add to it..some words frm karma...
"karma karte ja fal ki ichaa mat kar"....

Hey Surbhi, landed on to your blog page from FB page. This posted long back with some pretty interesting thoughts. In my view, we seek eternal love and happiness but often slip onto wrong path chasing wrong things in life. I think it needs a lot of conscious effort to stay focused amidst the maddening rush.
