Why Live An Aimless Life?

Folly of the Wise!

A human being is superior to the other members of the animal kingdom because of his intelligence. The capability to think, to reason is indeed the greatest boon of the Almighty bestowed upon him. It is only by this power that he has deciphered and made best use of the resources of Nature, made great inventions, progressed remarkably on the worldly fronts and proved himself to be the crown prince of the Creator. It is ironical that this intelligent being has also proved himself as the biggest fool by mindless activities.

Look for example at the way most people weaken their physical and mental health by getting entrapped in endless sensual passions. In spite of being taught the reciprocating agony of sinful acts, so many of us don't discipline our thought and conduct and keep  doing what is unethical or not morally justified, as and when it suits our immediate requirements. The denial of everlasting peace for momentary gain and similar follies driven by greedy shortsightedness are so common in human life these days.  Do these reflect any wisdom or maturity?

Being engrossed in perishable pleasures, being egotism and selfishness and ignoring the interests of the soul - the real self; ruining the future for mindless gains in the present; what kind of intelligence is this? These flaws are like throwing your own blood to color your toys. The earlier you realize this folly and stop it the better for you. So get up, understand what is really good for you forever, and adopt the wisdom worth the esteem of human life.

Why live An Aimless Life?

What is the objective of our life? Isn't it amazing that most of us remain unaware of it! Most people run after storing wealth and worldly resources, but for what purpose? For fulfillment of which need; when and how? Very few would be able to answer it correctly. If it were for comfort, security and joy, then there are many counter examples in this very world, which deny this assumption. In fact for most people it is nothing but following the trends. The same is true of most of our activities. We are just driven by our extrovert thinking and tendency of following others whom we regard as successful and happy. We don't even have time to pause and think about our own being. We have virtually become like a living machine, which thinks in a pre-set manner.

We are marching ahead fast but towards which goal? Where is the end of our life? We continue doing this life after life, without thinking about the purpose of the precious life. Why are be born? For what purpose the Almighty has sent us in the human form? Is our "self" is moving along the path of evolution of consciousness or are we entrapped in the oscillations between fall and rise in the endless cycle of life? How the "self" could be liberated from it and experience the ultimate bliss for which it is hunting since uncountable life times? We must ponder over these and search for the answers within ourselves.

Death is certain to occur any moment. So, why not make best use of the present for introspection & self-analysis? And strive for enlightenment!
