Living For Own's Own Material Goals Is So Gay !!

Now read this imaginary conversation I had with an imaginary stranger in the future :-

(Hint: He was a stranger to me in the same way, as I was to him.)

The year is 2025. The World is remarkably different from what it is today. Basically, all the problems are solved and no real problem seems to exist or even arise any more. Humanity has changed drastically and few of them in the know credit all the happenings to the existence of a shadow man, The One who prefers to pull all the strings from Behind-the-scenes. Legend has it that he has changed the world single affects through his extreme wealth. But nobody has really met him, they say. All they know is the person is extremely powerful and a living genius and has brought forth such radical positive development and created structures which have managed to sustain themselves through the use of Domino effects, Snowball effects, and many other God knows what cause-and-effect strategies, he did employ while at the same time manipulating corrupt politicians to do his bidding, for the good by using his endless influence, intelligence and engaging in various dynamics across all industries. Recently, a person from Florida did report his meeting with this 'shadow-man'. And all the transcript of the conversation has been duly recorded and reported by him as best as he could recall. Here it is :-

The Stranger: What do you do for a living ?

Me: I am a Businessman.

The Stranger: Oh That's Good !! What kind of Business are you in?

Me: I am in the Business of taking away people's pain and suffering as 

far as it is possible for me to do so.

The Stranger: That doesn't seem like much of a profitable idea.

Me: That may seem to be it. However that's not true, I do make extreme profits. Profits so extreme, that only a few in this world can ever attain !!

The Stranger: LOL ! If that is true, then you must be on the Forbes list of Billionaire.

Who are you ? What is your name ?

Me: I am not, cause I have given away far more Billions than what your regular Billionaires can even earn. I have kept nothing with myself and yet my profits await in Heaven!

The Stranger: But There's no Heaven!

Me: Can there be any other Heaven other than that in knowing that I have lived a Perfect life and I am at Peace with my Creator ?

The Stranger: There's no Creator! Are you for real ? Now, you seem to me to be a crazy lunatic!

Me: If I am so then, why do you bother with this conversation ? Do you aspire to be one too ?

The Stranger: No I don't. Even when I believe you, I am really curious to know about what you have really gained by your so-called life-long altruism ?

Me: You see the world around you ? Isn't it beautiful ? 

Me: It is so because I rearranged it to be so, by pulling the velvet poltical strings with my hand in the glove globally !!

Me: I used the seemingly unlimited and endless resources of my mind, body and soul and all the talents that my Creator gifted me with since the day I was born, to bring this dream into existence.

Me: And now that it is done, I am prepared to meet my Creator!

The Stranger: But you still seem young to me. I mean, still young for death to visit you!

Me: It May be so. But, I believe my purpose in life has been well served and I have done all that, that I needed to do over hear. On this planet, under the shining sun, I believe that my work is now complete and I have no regrets about anything. I am now finally, at peace with myself. Does this suffice your curiosity ?

The Stranger: Yeah, I think so. I have always strived for my own material gains, throughout my life and got nowhere near fulfilling my wild, never ending ambitions. I used dirty tactics and made this world a nasty place...A place, which you had taken upon yourself to clean up. What would I not trade to exchange places with you, you lucky Son of a bitch!

Mystery of Existence and How to Solve it by Using Elements of Reason and Truth.

The beginning of the universe is shrouded in mystery and as such, it cannot be conceived by limited conceptual thinking of human minds. If you consider, that the creation began at some point then, automatically the picture of the time frame of such event comes into play.

Humans were not even there to observe, as it were far beyond the event horizon. However, if you can date the origin of the universe, then what, if at all, pre-dates such origins ?

The answers containing the secrets of life, universe and everything are only to be found in the concept of zero and infinity.

We are finite beings, with our finite minds, having a finite existence. Our lifespans are limited and so, is the hope for unravelling the mysteries of existence, for an individual, in his / her limited lifetime. The only hope for one is to subscribe to the Hindu philosophy of perfecting oneself so as to evolve and grow spiritually, so as to further liberate one's Self from the bondage this world, inevitably creates or results in.

Whether we face it or not, whether we accept it or not; we all live in our limited prisons, our very own self-limiting prisons of our minds, egos and our lives. No matter what good we gain, what good we experience; we, as humans, are never truly satisfied and are given to such endless cravings, until we reach our graves. 

We want growth and progress in our personal lives, both for ourselves and our loved ones. We want to experience happiness and we hope continually for success, joys and fruits of material pursuits, which engages us and keeps us busy, before we realize that we are running out of time and that, the death is near.

Throughout our lives, our main quest is for happiness / bliss, that is ananda. We also are self-aware, aware of our existence, in fact we have to be as without it, there will be no conscious human experience of life and life would be like that of plants or animals only with their most basic instincts, so it is chitta. Every human being knows deep in their heart that truth is the prime force, which is the most powerful and to which all humans, good or otherwise, have to be subject to. Even the most evil person in the world knows that some day he / she will have to answer to the higher authority of 'Truth,' though they can easily fool the masses, or have already deceived them by controlling the media, rewriting the documents after having destroyed the originals and hence, not letting the truth slip away, at all costs. Hence, 'the truth' or sat.

God allows so much suffering in the world because God simply, does not care. Our lives and conditions of it, in this material world are entirely our own responsibility and our own business, which we have to mind, settle, learn from, experience, adjust or die, accordingly. You can, one can easily say, that 'There's no God,' but the true 'anatomy' of God is your own anatomy and the mechanisms of God, the way how God operates, is your own true mechanism. It is your own 'will,' if you choose to ignore it, or use it freely. 

In a way each one is a victim to each's own stupidity, in that, Einstein was also sure about. If you are careless and drive recklessly, you will meet with an accident; there's nothing that God gotta do or can do anything about. You work your own miracles, during times of need, through the talents and powers of your own instrument cluster, i.e. mind, body and soul, which is 'Godly,' if not God-given. 'Do what thou will shall be the whole of the law.' But choose accordingly, with regards to all possible consequences of your actions, which you will have to inevitably face, at some point in the future, if not 'now' or 'sooner.'

The secret to happiness, success, well-being, fame and wealth is, 'to stop fighting with oneself,' and let your life flow in the natural path. Let your productivity, your time and your effort flow without any reservations, with all your creative juices and without you holding anything back. You suffer when you lie to yourself. In fact, you suffer the most. Do you want to live in the light of The Truth ? Or do you want to keep on struggling against yourself ? You gotta be and stay, sensible for your life to be good, in your life and throughout, for all practical purposes. 

If you want your life to work out, you have to stop living your life like 'in a prison,' with your age-old negative-limited thinking. You gotta expand, you have to expand. Things you believe, now and the things you used to believe, then; are entirely different and so, are not true any more. You have to change according to the new situations. You have to adjust yourself to the needs and demands of the present.

It's easy to be lazy, to be stupid, and do nothing and hard to be and do, an exact opposite of all these things. Miracles do not happen, it takes work to get something worth having. It takes pain to get to that one moment of your life that really makes it worth 'the living', that which we all commonly call 'happiness.' Hard labour, work, effort, action and initiatives; should be your focal points in life.
