The Meaning of Life?

The world is like a colossal labyrinth. It is full of ironies. It is a place where you lose when you lose, and you lose even when you win! Stay with me to comprehend the meaning of life.

One needs a really sharp mind to comprehend the enormity of the above statement. Once you see this through, then the question, "How do I win here?", won't pester you anymore!

Then the right question to ask will be, "Is there a way through which I can come out of this battle, instead of fighting it in the first place?"

What I mean by it, is that this is a battle, where both winning and losing are not the eternal solution.

We all are running in a race, only to have more of everything. More money, more name, more fame, more respect, more happiness, etc.

Always keep this in mind, your present situation is someone's dream to live. No matter how bad you think the present scenario is, you at least have a roof over your head, and 3 square healthy meals a day.

This is still a fantasy for millions of people around the globe.

For those people, you already are a billionaire, but you think you are poor at your own level of mind, probably because you are comparing yourselves to others.

What is the Solution then?

Well, I am sure most of you are about to leave, thinking it is a boring thing to ponder upon, and you are probably right.

Most of us are only interested to know how to get what they want as soon as possible, in the easiest conceivable way.

We are not used to directing our thinking into a topic like understanding the 'meaning of life'.

Everyone is living in this enormous illusion that if what they want the most, miraculously comes into existence, then their lives will become awesome.

What they don't foresee is that the mere solution to one thing becomes the very base of the next big problem in their lives.

What happens next? Another desire to overcome the obstacle. And like this, the cycle keeps on continuing. 24*7*365.

To sum our lives in one line: We were delusional before, we are delusional right now, and we will die delusional. Period. Might sound bitter but is actually the reality with so many of us.

I will try to explain this to you in the simplest way possible.

The Universe is a Giant Ocean

Like I said before, that this is race, where you actually lose, irrespective of whether you win or lose.

Try imaging the universe as an ocean. A vast one. There are billions and billions of waves in this ocean. Trillions and trillions of water droplets.

If you compare your body with that of a wave, then isn't every wave just living for itself?

The wave can say that "I am also living for the tiny waves emerging from ME", but it is saying so because again "ME" is involved.

The wave may care about other waves, only if they are associated with it in some way or another. So ultimately it is living only for itself and the same is with us.

We can say we live for our children or our parents, but you are doing that only because they are yours. Everybody is living for themselves. You care about your friends and relationships because again, they are "YOURS".

Stop asking questions like why does the cat eat the mouse, Why did I get fired from the job? Such questions have only one purpose- to create misery. So do you wanna help them succeed in their mission of creating sorrow or take a stand and show them who’s the boss of your life?
