Most of us as kids are fascinated by certain things.These can be any toy , game or a person whom we start admiring . We are very less aware about that person or thing but still we still are crazy about them. Its our heart that tells us to do so . But as we grow up , sooner or later , slowly our mind starts taking control of our actions . We start thinking of terms like success , career , power , growth and so on . We are not motivated by what good an engineer or doctor does by his or her work but rather by the fame he gets on getting into IIT or AIIMS. And in this race to make a good career we never think about the most important aspect of our life ..." The Purpose of Life"
Slowly, our mind captures our thoughts so tightly that its becomes more and more difficult for us to follow our heart. The heart pumps the blood into our life but no more it pumps that craziness. Many a times we try to find answers from our heart but by that time our mind has already become the master.
We try to ask the purpose from our heart but again and again we fail .We keep moving in unknown direction thinking that we'll be left behind if we don't move. We start saying that fate will take us to our purpose.
But then as I move somewhere I keep feeling and asking myself " What is the purpose of my life ? ".The question haunts me every now and then . I don't know whether the answer lies in Introspection or moving ahead . Or is there any third thing where the answer lies. The answer to reason of my existence. Am I living or only existing . Do answers lie in my future or I have already lost them in my past along with that craziness of childhood . I don't have answers but I shall not give up . I can't go back , so just like everyone I am moving ahead in search of that answer......To not only exist but to live !!!!
I loved that line "whether the answer lies in Introspection or moving ahead". Indeed, I think 2 important factors that I believe guide this transformation from childhood to Mind-driven acts are Circumstances that we face in life and that Maturity takes years to come.
ReplyDeletei enjoyed reading this article. I want to add one more word at a place where mind starts taking control. i.e. BENEFIT. mind imposes this one big constraint to all our choices and decisions.
ReplyDeleteI could relate to each n every word of it. At times rather most of the Times the question keeps popping up and i'm always stuck there n then. Looking for answers.however this quest for looking for answers must not ever be a blockage to career progression but should be an impetus. Learn and unlearn
ReplyDeleteThe answer lies somewhere in between writing "Ekanki" and moving ahead :-)
ReplyDeleteI can literally read the thoughts of my mind in this blog.. (as you already know). I still dont know the purpose of this life.. hope it finds us all..
ReplyDeleteThe answer relates to a large extent with the writing "Ekanki"...many a times we come across seeing ourself stranded alone on crossroads of life, it is that time when we must keep our self -belief intact, move on in life and the answer will definitely come at it's right time, it does :)
