Struggle of Existence


The life is becoming so complicated, and we are running after desires, desire of money, desire of name, desire of good life partner  but these desires can or cannot be fulfilled.  Now  I am just putting a question is front of my own self, the question is it is whom who desires?  Is it me or my body or my own Existence.  I think I cannot be able to give the correct answer of this question.  After reading so  much books,  still I don’t  got any answer of this question.  While sitting Quietly, I just tried to observe that it is who, who creates desires.  Is  it me? And if it is me then why I am creating these desires because I know that I am immortal and throughout my this journey I just found that it is my ego which every time took me back to this worldly place.

                                                     Upnishad says that there is not world and here whatever we saw is just a shadow as Plato has said that the whole world is only a ‘Shadow of Shadow.’ Infact the whole theory of Vedanta says that there is only one “Brahman.”  The Upnishad says it is HE(Rudra) as a personification of Brahman  dwells in the creatures, and burning with fury at the end of time he as lord dashes to pieces all created things. There we also found the existence of Atama (The Soul ) or Jiva Atama(Individual soul) In that we found later that the Individual soul don’t have its Independent existence but the One Ataman which is also called the Supreme Soul or as the real Self has its own Existence without having any desire.


                                                   Later where one side “Vedanta” believed only on one Brahaman and it say only realize thy self , but on the other hand some school of thought in “Purana” in which it has been said that there are many individual soul which are not like the Supreme one  but they are also immortal just like the Supreme Soul but then the question which arise on my mind is if they are also immortal then they are also the truth because what I think if anything left after death  then it means it is The Truth.

                    Vivekananda  a great philosopher and Spiritual teacher of his time said that we are separate only when because we have egos but truly we all are part of one Existence, and every soul realize it sooner or later then it means we all are one,  it means there is only one who exist,  but that one is Whom? This question is so much complicated that  in beginning I am talking about this question and at end I also put up this question. But one thing which I realized today that is “we all are one”.  And this Oneness cannot be realized through reading Books because these books of every spiritual master are just the record of their  Experiences  but  we cannot realize the Truth through other's Experiences. Today the whole humanity is looking for rest and we only take rest in our own "True Self." But how can I realize it? I think it is very easy but very Difficult.

Curiosity to Know through Games


Whenever I think about Games I go back my childhood, these days are very good memories for me, we always tried to invent the new games and then we forget ourselves in Games.Games are very Important in our life, it not only gives us mental joy but also physical fitness and we humans learn many things through Games. That is the reason Children learn many things from Games.When we are in our childhood we like to play games and at that time Games are not just games for us rather it is more than any game, whenever I tried to observe or Watch children I have found that they know only one thing that is pleasure. They do everything just for the sake of pleasure.Their mind is also full of curiosity and through their curiosity they also feel a kind of joy and every person felt it in his/her Childhood. That is the reason Wordsworth says" A child is the father of His father."
For them everything is new, they saw the whole world as a new book, just like when a person who is fond of books saw any new book in a library or a book in a news stall he/she felt a new kind of curiosity and joy and when we open this book then it is totally new for us, same is the case with a child, for a child the whole world is just like a new book and he/she either don't have any experience still he/she feels happy because he/she has a deep desire to know everything, that is the reason when we saw any small lad we saw that he/she tried to know everything through tasting,  every child when saw a new thing then the first thing he/she do is to take it to his/her mouth, it was his/her first experience this Experience continued through the whole of his/her life, yes but then he/she never need to taste anything.
