Welcome Friends,
I am writing here some of my thoughts from one of my book which is going to be published soon. Your comments are welcome please.
During my studies in Engineering and Mgmt, the question to understand purpose of human life was getting bigger and bigger in my mind and it took me to various spiritual organization and their heads/ leaders, and those people who said that they have left everything for search in truth or enlightment etc. I was curious to know that what is the purpose of human life and why human being is born. I got all sorts of intellectual answer from different people.
I was lucky that I could always found something new and good to learn from people with whom I interacted to move ahead in my life. However the question still remains in my mind?????
Lets us see the life of normal human being.
From the time normal human being came to this planet (time of birth) till say around 20 -25 years, he is normally busy in studies and completing education. After completing his education he become busy in career and job and then after couple of years he gets engaged and get married. After marriage he got busy with his own children and their career and issues and grandchildren and one day he (would leave) left the planet earth (he died).
If we see normally (Let us now see) what life he was involved into. Waking up in the morning, getting ready for the office, reading newspaper in the tube or train or car or bus, morning to evening in the office, managing boss, building reputation, achieving target, getting fame then after office hours either go to pub for drinking or go to house and switching TV channels and handling children issues, relationship issue, mortgage installment, credit card payment etc and life goes on years after years like this.
Only one question here is it the only purpose for which we came here on planet earth or is this all we want from our life? Nothing wrong if we want only this (or we believe that this is only the way to live), it is only a matter of choice.
Your views / comments are most welcome.
