Strange is this life and this business of living it. Life is not easy to understand. Sometimes life is easy and sometimes uncomfortable, sometimes happiness and sometimes sadness, sometimes true or sometimes false, sometimes hope and sometimes despair etc. Life is a depiction of thoughts, feelings, intimacy, intimacy, attentiveness, compassion, gratitude, humility etc. on a spiritual canvas. The mystery of life remains buried in front of all the physical, worldly entanglements of life. Whenever life is not understood, pluck a banyan fruit, see in it, what is visible in it? Not just a few tiny seeds! Not! You have seen wrong. The subtle matter contained in this seed cannot be seen by the eye. In this, a huge banyan tree is situated in the form of future life with all its branches and branches. This small seed bears innumerable hardships in the process of becoming a banyan tree, but finds the meaning of life. If seen in this way, from the very beginning life is related to karma. Due to supernatural integrality, sometimes karma seems to be synonymous with life, that is, karma is life itself. The existence of an organism in the face of the vastness of the universe is equal to the position of an atom on a big football. But still that creature settles in his world and gets lost in it. A special kind of greatness resides in every life, just as oil resides in sesame and fire resides in arani. Just as friction is required for the manifestation of this oil and fire, similarly karma is necessary to keep life going. To overcome this struggle is the announcement of another life. Life is always divided into many levels and the dharma of the living being is to cross each level successfully. Manusmritikar has written about the pace of karma-dharma life that ‘exiting from one body and entering again into karma and traveling in yonis, all this is the result of one’s own karmic fault and nothing else’. If there is life, then there is action and if there is action, then its fruits are also fixed for running life, but it is in our hands to run the work, drive it. Only on the way and type of our driving we get the desired result of karma. This is the eternal law of life. Therefore, the result of boredom towards the fruit of any action will be that we will not be living that life, but will be carrying it like a burden. At the same time, it may also happen that we become proud of the duties before us. It is from here that the contradictions of happiness-sadness, hope-disappointment, truth-false etc. Actually, action is not only done by the body, but also with the word and the mind. Whatever comes out of speech, whatever comes in the mind, they all also produce their effect and fruit. Life in its physical form occurs in humans, animals and plants too, but it is enjoyed by man the most. Naturally, it should be his destiny to bear all the contradictions arising out of karma. There should be no grudge or grudge from life in this. But the irony is that the true meaning of life is actually far better understood by animals and plants than humans. Even if a rose plant has grown on some litter, it takes only fragrance from there, sugarcane plant only sweetness. This is a message to human life that no matter how many adversities are there, just as a rose does not stop taking its fragrance and sugarcane its sweetness, in the same way one should decide what to leave, what to keep in life. That would be the real way of living life. If we talk about the characteristics of life, then the first and obvious symptom of life is expansion. To survive, it has to spread. Where expansion stops, many calamities will arise and life will cease to exist, because the absence of expansion is a sign of death. The meaning of life is that we spread ‘light’, so that darkness is destroyed and the way becomes visible. According to an old story, a blind man always carried a lantern at night and remained safe. It also helped passersby to see the way in the dark. It is clear from this that if there is darkness in life, then light should be expanded in it. Plato’s philosophy will be worth mentioning here that ‘It is not important how many days we live, it is important how we live.’ |
