Preface:
There are larger questions in our lives. Why are we born? Why and for what we live? What is the ultimate aim and end of life – money, status, power and prestige...or for that matter attaining spiritualism and moksha (liberation)? Then there are many derivative questions...
Since thousands of years, the questions have remained with humanity and also the struggle to find the right answers. Still we cannot say we know the true answers. But, surely, we now have realized something that makes us comfortable with the questions and this is because of the new wisdom has made us understand the question as well as the questioner better.
Well and good if we humans find the ultimate end of life – the final destination of all of us and most important is that we should all agree to that. However, if we see the larger picture and accept facts objectively; with whatever knowledge humanity has evolved so far and understood; we shall have to accept that all life on earth, including humans and its evolution is one huge random and Multi-Dimensional Event-Cyclicality. On the other hand, what we humans make out of it and charter our own ways for survival, purpose and excellence is another Multi-Dimensional Cyclicality.
Both forces, though inter-dependent only at the core and having some patterns, which can be replicable; they remain highly and intricately randomized. The element of unpredictability, inadvertence, accidentality and asymmetricality in both largely sovereign forces of the cosmos only ensures that humanity can never ever remain in perpetuity of singular purpose, peace and order. Especially in contemporary situation, when humanity long before evolved and acquired the criticality of conscious intelligence, which is bound to lead it to ever-growing entropy (degrading randomization) and ultimate extinction in the long run.
Finding a purpose and purity of singular pattern or model of culture and virtuosity for global community is out of question. The mechanism of cosmic realism never ever allows it. It is more impossible now. The wise can only understand that and find its own Subjective Peace. Moreover, it is almost impossible for an individual to get to solve all his problems as cosmic randomization is too colossal to allow fruition of any individual or collective planned enterprise. Shaping one’s peace and poise is however possible and it is the only enterprise possible and worthy for individual human enterprise.
This peace and poise however is conditional to the attitude we accept. Once we accept the utility and fruition of love and compassion, the doors of domain of peace and poise open up. When true love and absolute compassion completely absorbed our consciousness, reaching a destination is not important. Important is that we all – you, they, all our closed ones, travel the path with love and compassion and together, so far as possible.
If we all travel with love and compassion all throughout our journeys, wherever we will reach will be the desirable destination. Moreover, even if we do not reach anywhere, our path itself is so beautiful and satisfying that there is no need for a destination. This is so because poise and peace stays with us all throughout. Love does not look for ends of life. It believes in the simple fact that life is one endless drive and on the way look for no signposts to reach anywhere…the joy and satisfaction of journey is more important than the nobility and utility of destination. There is no need to reach.
Be on an endless journey and make it your destination where you tire. But always remember to travel with love and compassion in heart and why I say this? Because, when love and compassion are with you, the path and the journey becomes the theatre of infinite song and dance. When song and dance is with you, journeys are full of incessant joy and satisfaction. If you reach the stage; if ever there happens to be one, you will automatically lose the question of destination. The question of meaning of life and its purpose will be lost.
Love and compassion makes us understand the futility and redundance of the intellectual concerns of life’s larger purpose and the material desire of life’s acquisitions. Love and compassion makes us understand that the true wisdom is not in reaching but in travelling well – with peace and poise.
The simple and innocent realism is – There is no destination and reaching. There is only journey. Intelligence cannot accept this realism, only innocence can. Love and compassion and its accompanying Innocence Is The Greatest Intellectualism, it is the best acquisition, if one defines life’s purpose in terms of acquisition and possessions.
This book has words soaked with innocence, not intelligence. The core issues of life and living have been dealt with the above-mentioned perspective. It is a humble appeal to accept the utility and fruition of the words in this book with the same innocence of love and compassion. Thanks.
