I have always wondered as to what exactly do we want out of our lives? Is it lots and lots of money, admiration, respect etc. though i believe these are the things really important but not worth dying for. We want to earn best grades academically, perform the best in our professional careers and we put a lot of effort in this direction also. It's worth praise, i agree. A politician puts all efforts in slyness and what he gets out of it is money and ultimately power(i wont offend a few who are really dedicated towards uplifting of masses and they have no doubt given their energy to it). All kinds of people of different professions perhaps never had time and occasion to realize as to what they were living for. we earn money but for what? A few save them so much so that they just have one thing in mind and that is earning and saving them. Their world ends there.
Everything rotates about a center. Even our lives. It moves in a relatively bigger circle and we standing at the circumference don't realize as to what we are circulating about. it needs our quality time in thoughts to find it. sometimes we find it to be money, power or fulfilling one or the other basic and non needs of living . center is the point which we are unconsciously looking for and which brings real happiness in our lives. its the thing which is indispensable.
we suffer from obsession of many kinds and it influences our lives in different ways and taking away the basic purpose. In the pursuit of obsessions, we do not place that importance to thinking about the overall direction the life takes. we fail to look from a greater altitude.
I am reminded of the story which we studied in our class 9 th. "The country of blinds" where people just forgot what the word eye and vision meant.They were just oblivious of it. Our priorities have so changed that we have forgotten what we actually need. Stop and take a breath, you will find you aren't born to just do a 9 to 5 job which gives you bread but not satisfaction. Power which gives you vanity and conceit but no real lasting happiness. what i feel at the end is, though its necessary to work for our livelihood but wait.. it does not eat away your peace and serenity of mind. it doesn't spread cutting your independence. and your worries don't throw aside the meaning of your life.
peacefulness and equanimity is the greatest virtue perhaps..

So , What can i say about this blog... ah! a lot of things but i can share only one view that will elaborate the whole summary. Different people would have different thoughts i can't say but according to me it will be elaborated as:
I agree with the one statement that really makes me to think that for what we are living for and what is the motive behind living this life.
See before i start commenting on it i would like to tell you i am spiritually motivated so...
What sujeet has written that we are rotating on the circumference of circle and just moving and moving blindly without any thinking.I mean with this statement that we have forgotten
our main motive of our life that is renderness of God , worshipping of god and what we are doing is just moving towards mortal happiness which will not long last.
Each and every person live for his fame ,money , family and a lot more things. But has he ever think that all the things which he is acheving will go with him??
The answer is NO.
Today he is the owner of a particular thing tomorrow it will be of some other person. So what is that thing that will ever last in this life??
The only thing that will go with us towards the end of life is the real happiness that will be achieved by doing the worldy things with renderness of God.
The center of circle is the place of God and we all are just revolving around it with great illusion of this world that has been scaterred by God. What we have to do is the realisation of self that will make you better in taking any decisions towards right direction.
That's all from my side ...
