We have come to live life. But are we living? Does living mean eating daily, doing what we think of as daily tasks, and sleeping? Only those who actually live life has a chance to know the answer to this.
Some may think that life is sweet only if there is wealth. Some people decide that if their purpose in life is fulfilled then we are living well.
Some others lead their lives with heartbreak as if nothing I thought happened in life, life is futile.
It should be understood first that the Avvaipatti said that it is rare to be born as a human being.
This human birth is not an easy birth. Life is a gift to us and understanding how to live it is the most important thing we need to know.
If wealth is what makes life happy why do some rich people commit suicide?
If I stop thinking that it is suffering and start thinking about what I will learn from this, I will have the power to see life from a different angle.
Grieving can lead to irretrievably lost moments. It is normal to make mistakes and suffer in life.
Those who begin to investigate why this suffering is happening to me often enter the spiritual path.
Only those who stop thinking that they must come here and solve it and understand what the lesson is learned from the experience are the ones who travel towards the truth.
Why did the Buddha feel the urge to seek truth without personally experiencing any suffering?
The reason all the great sages came to the spiritual path was not to solve their suffering.
To understand the universal truth. Only that understanding will make it clear that life is a gift and not a burden.
Shakespeare beautifully said that the world is a stage, and we all come here to play the drama of our lives.
The maturity to appreciate its beauty comes when we become observers of their lives from the outside.
This mental maturity is possible only through meditation. Any activity that leads to mindlessness is meditation.
