There are times when one thinks
to reason out things in life. Is everything supposed to have a reason? Or some
things happen for no reason? Or are we unable to find out the reason for their
occurrence? Then life starts demanding answers to these questions, which if
remain unanswered causes restlessness in life. Then you are left with just two
options, either to accept them or to live restless forever. Fortunate are
people who get on with the first one. But not everyone is same. There are
unfortunate ones as well. Some people succumb and attempt suicides, which gives
a little humour to life of some, and endless suffering to some other.
The unfortunate, unable to
decipher the reason after reaching all possible limits of cognition, unable to
understand the sufferings, unable to bear the loss, unable to accept the
change, fails to recuperate. The wrath of vengeance, the ferocity of anger, the
numbness of feelings, the schism of soul falls down heavily and leads to self
destruction. These emotions give rise to feeling of vengeance. If you find satisfaction in vengeance, you
have already lost the meaning of life...
The question then arises, where and
when to stop? Where to stop this caravan of obnoxious emotions leading to
obliteration? When should one stop trying? Where is the end? Seems like a tough
question, but the answer is within. The answer lies in the quest, your quest... No two people can have the
same quest, you have a unique quest, and by knowing that-you can crack this
code. Find your quest uninfluenced and undefined by the people around. If
happiness is your quest, then find happiness not in the action or inaction of
others, but in your own actions, actions devoid of expectations. Conquer your senses to achieve perfection
because a sane balanced mind is never restless. It paves the way to wisdom. If
you have the inner wisdom to reason out these things, to understand the third perception, to understand the reflection phenomenon*, uncomplicated
will be life. Let the pursuit of happiness not conquer you; let you conquer the
pursuit of happiness; let you define your happiness. There is a constant search
for meaning of life, the search starts and ends within.
See victory and defeat, pleasure
and pain, success and failure with an equal eye, it will answer all your
unanswered questions. Accept your mistakes with same pleasure as you welcome
your triumph. Find your quest and follow, but remember to be kind, be sensible, away from anger and close to wisdom. It needs
immense strength to build the art of giving and forgiveness, the ultimate
solution. Give everything that you can. Respect every emotion of life, and
forgive those who do not understand them.
Life never stops, but it waits, it waits for beautiful things to occur
or sometimes reoccur...
