Guest guest Posted July 30, 2000 Report Share Posted July 30, 2000 LIFE No sooner a life and we have a world manifested. Materialism, Spirituality, Humanity, Cruelty all become alive. Seems, other world is all calm in these happenings. After living through the situations which life throws before us, a thought flows why all this ? What for ? And what am i doing in all this ? Why i am here ? Who am i ? I know that i am someone who is alive, whose very nature is to live but what does it mean to be alive ? Does a journey from birth to death mean life ? Does one being associated with materialism and spirituality, humanity and cruelty mean life. Joys and sorrows! is that what life is all about!!. Am i a mere puppet to all these. No, this can't be a life. I am someone bigger then all these. How can i be someone who lives bounded. I am someone who is beyond bondage. Someone who is infinite. I am life. This is what i am. Ever free and infinite. Free from the bondage of joys and sorrows. Life's true meaning is revealed when being this we walk through the journey of birth and death in all agileness, spirit and love just like a little child. I have to know and come face to face with one and only reality that i am infinite and knowing this truth have to play my role in this world to the very best in all spirit and love. A play performed to its very best brings satisfaction and laughter. Everyone is looking for satisfaction and eternal happiness. People try to find it in money, career, name, love. Even after achieving all this an emptiness remains. We are looking for something. Something which will fill them up with ecstasy. We hardly know that source to this lies within us. Wise ones after having searched it in the external world look inside. When we look inside its then that our real nature is revealed. Acheiving this we have to relate ourselves to the outside world. We have to realize our oneness with plants, birds, animals, nature and fellow human beings. Realizing this, when we work in fun, its then that life becomes life. There is one being in history who has best exemplified what life is. He played every role to the earnest best in all its spirit and love. He was a child among children, a son, a brother, a friend, a lover among lovers, a king among kings, a household among households, a warrior among warriors and a yogi among yogis. This life of Shree Krishna tells us what life is, what is it to be alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
