Irony of life

We are born ...one day to die...

We learn about the world around us as if it was our home...one day to unlearn and infer that it was just a playground...

We invest in relationships and give it all our time....one day to realize that it was just a role play and temporary...

We acquire so much wealth through our life...one day to leave it all behind...

We engage our minds so much in thoughts of past or planning the future...one day to just live the moment of death and nothing else...

We live every moment in fear of death...one day to realize we are eternal...


We live every moment with a belief that there is one question we all know the answer to... which is "Who am I?" and as a function of time, the answer to this only question becomes the purpose of life...


We originate from nothingness...into a playground with set of rules...where the fellow players are engaged with us in a role play...a game where winning or losing has no consequence, only playing does...


Eventually just know that ...there is someone who taught you the game before you entered the playground...engage yourself in the teachings and spirit of the game...Fellow players are there to channelize all efforts into the pursuit of excellence...that's the only way you will emerge out victorious...to go back home...

The moment we lose focus from the game and take too much interest in the fellow players and start engaging in our own play within the realms of a larger game...the spirit of the game is diluted...
We will now push ourselves into a game within a game...and further game within that game ...all this only gets deeper...compounded in complexity ...and it just needs too many kicks at each level of the game to exit back into the first order game...

Stay put in the first order game...because when this game is over...we get back into the world of nothingness which was indeed our everything...


From tranquility....pushed into a maze where your only action is to learn to get back where you came from viz tranquility...


Through the maze...through the play...your only guide is your teacher, who is with you in your knowledge...character and action...That teacher is all you need...
