Mangalore 2015
Huffing and puffing I have been searching ..searching and searching..after few hours I don't even know what I am looking for! This happens to me all the time. I am mostly looking for my cell phone, as I have the habit of throwing it here n there, n next would be my car keys ..then comes all the stuff...! Names of people I met after a big gap of time, Authors of the books I read, names of the movies and some of the characters...n the list of my bad memory goes on!! am I a bad organizer, or is my memory fading. My doubts were cleared saying neither of the 2. AS the data becomes too much brain ends up deleting the unwanted stuff, and same way if I am accumulating too much stuff I wont remember where I kept what! So the search anyways goes on!! what exactly is this human need for constant search? I was giving task to my brain and it was fun to play with it. giving all sorts of memory exercises and in the bargain I was going in to my past present and future. That made me think this constant search is not just about material things...! All of us have this thirst in us for something more deeper and so this search! Every one of us search for 2 things... that is for sure.1. Meaning of our life 2. Purpose of our existence.Going through several struggles of life we end up carving and re carving paths,goals and destinations, we often hit a dead end. What seems to be a point of no return can turn towards something else, which may be what we are seeking for or may not be!! And this surely happens. WE all need to search for these two things, and its a simple exploration we need to do from with in. Its not some divine boon after years of meditation nor it requires a torch light to search with in. I don't think it is necessary to torture one self in an obsessive inner search.It is simply there with in all of us. "Meaning" could be to attain contentment, "Purpose" on the other hand , can be to serve, to teach, to generate etc.! If we ask ourselves what is this life? why am I here? etc that could be searching for meaning, where as purpose could break it down to "well if we are here, what do we want to do with this life? ?! So meaning and purpose co exist in nature universally! Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by the lack of meaning and purpose. It is never too late n never ever, to find THAT meaning and purpose in life. Keep searching like treasure hunt and it will be yours. Then there will be no looking back. Finding meaning and purpose in life can help you to be super happy, peaceful and contented. so don't stop searching..!
