The Muddle of Life

The Muddle of Life

The thirst for knowledge they say is unquenchable.This thirst makes you feel like a traveller stranded in a desert….Desert which is surrounded by oceans of books, literature and texts.You may ignore this thirst for sometime but it is difficult to never realise it at all….And once you realise it, it makes you restless.You feel so ignorant, so uneducated, so helpless.The search for knowledge makes you feel like a wanderer who is on the path to destiny without knowing what the destiny is, where it lies.The path to knowledge gives so much satisfaction..You feel one with the universe, one with its every particle created by the Almighty….You realise that you are a mere speck in the vast galaxy, a mere iota…..

In our ignorance we create illusions about ourselves. “We are scholars in our field”, there cannot be bigger  mirage than this. We are so engrossed in our daily struggle for existence our family, our work, our friends that we forget why we are here. To complete the circle of life, very definitely yes. But in our struggle lets not forget to discover and explore our selves. We may say that the fight for survival leaves no room for anything else. But is that really so? Is that all this life has to offer to us?

The answer is NO! life throws a lot of things at us and we pick and choose our own gifts. During our entire journey from infant to child to teenager to adult we keep accumulating what we should infact be releasing. The pains, sorrows, grudges, loneliness, deceit, cheatings, wounds are all gathered by us and kept within us in safe custody. We refuse to let go………

And when we are so piled up as individuals can the universe be at peace. No, definitely not. We then complain that there is so much violence and bloodshed in the world. Nothing seems to be at peace…but how is this possible? We all are the particles that complete the Universe. When the parts are not in harmony how can the whole be at peace?

Peace and serenity can be ushered in by raising our selves to a higher level of consciousness. Forgetting all the past experiences and aiming for what we want, treading on the path to self realisation. The first step in all probability is the path of knowledge. The Higher Powers have intentionally created a void in our souls and sent us here. Our utmost objective should be to fill that void with something that is meant for it. And if we put a sincere effort to ask ourselves what it is, the answer no doubt is Knowledge………….
