WHY ARE WE HERE ???

The most simple yet the most intriguing question .The question second best only to the age old question “who let the dogs out ?“.People waste years, decades trying to figure out this enigma and when the reach dead ends in their quest for truth, they exclaim “why the fuck should I care! , I have other useful things to worry about “ .Yes , I convinced myself “that is the exact reply I would give to that question . Nevertheless no one can deny that this question did not crop up in their minds at some stage of their life and here is my take on the subject.

Firstly I am no preacher and no saint by any means but I have asked this question to a bunch of people and I have received simple to incredulous answers. On singling out their views I made the following conclusions :

The egocentric man replies: “I am here in this world and I, like everyone around me will carry out the normal activities of day to day life because that is what I do. I eat when I am hungry and sleep when I feel sleepy.” and when asked why, he replies “because that is what I do “.
A very succinct theory, seems so connected to the actual world but nothing spiritual about the reply.

A few others reply “to serve the purpose that God has destined for us “and if you ask these people as to whether they even have the smallest of whims of what that purpose is, the question is greeted either with silence or even hostility, in some cases .A few people capable of good eloquence do reply” that shall be unveiled during the course of life “and I think to myself “To speak in cliché’s is one thing but to justify it further with poor reasoning- pathetic!”

I am not an atheist, yet many things I've seen on the face of the earth has led me to question God's purpose. To quote some, the recent horrendous murder of innocent people in mumbai and the presentation of the FIFA World’s Player of the year to Ronaldo (I thought I was sounding really deep and philosophical, when the fact of the matter is that I am not. Hence the irrelevant humor showing that I am as sane and jobless as all of you reading this are! But it is true, how on earth did he get that!! ) .Returning to the issue in hand , when I saw the life’s of innocent people being taken for no fault of theirs other than the misfortune that they had to be at that place at that time , did strike a blow in my belief system . This thought stirred my mind and that is when I actually began to contemplate this issue.

Though this thought has occurred several times, I’ve grown to understand one thing – never underestimate the power of God.I beieve there is indeed something spiritual in this place. Though it may forever be obscure to me, I cannot but be aware of its power. (Ok dont worry, I wont be stepping into the subject of meta-physical entities, speaking of meta physical entities, do check out heroes season 3 :)

In this case if you like me, agree God to be the supreme creator, then like every other creator, he must love his creations and do all that is necessary for their welfare and well being.
Thus whenever a person becomes void of ego and admits to himself “I am happy “, he can truly say that he has served his purpose of living (real deep stuff!! :).
Hence one can say that the pursuit of existence or the pursuit of life is infact and always ultimately will end up being the pursuit of happiness (yeah not happyness ! :)

Well this is just my opinion and I may be as wrong as the fellow who suggested that the earth was flat but isn't everyone who is having a say in this regard risking that chance ? :D

Yes now that you have attained cognition and enlightenment through me , go and do better stuff , and don’t worry ,my next post wont be about “life after death “or about “death being the next great adventure to an organized mind “:P !!
