LIFE WHEN GET ENLIGHTENED
LIFE WHEN GET ENLIGHTENED
Lao Tzu, a Chinese philosopher once said knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment". When we ponder over this quote some philosophical elements can be traced from it. I invite your attention into this fact.While arguing with someone we often say "I know you well, you are like this and you are like that" etc. We love to judge others rather than judging ourselves;Don't we? Here I try to go closer to this viewpoint.
What do we say about life?
If we are asked to write a short article on 'life' we will write as if we are the motivational trainers who teach about life. The knowledge we have will be far more less. Each one of us perceive life differently. While life is a 'war' to a particular person then it must be 'peace' to another one. While some live with a content heart others live unsatisfied and frustrated.So the control of life is in ourselves. We decide the direction of our live.
What does life teach us?
It is said that life is a journey from 'womb to tomb'.That means our life starts from our mother's womb and ends at the tomb. When we go through this journey we learn a lot of experiences and knowledge. We have to think about what we have gained from our journey that goes to its final destination .We all are now will be at some different stages of our journey that goes to its final destination .We get many situations where we can have an estimate of our life. We should not lose those situations. Assume that we have given a particular span of time and actions and after it we will get another task .Think seriously whether we should have to redirect our time and resources.
When life get enlightened?
As we progress our journey many strange questions about our life may disturb us. Most of them will be unanswered questions.We go on pondering over it throughout our journey.Some people may leave it after much 'brainstorm' while others keep it along with them.
If we make a sincere attempt to untie the knot of our annoying questions a new 'path of travel' will be opened for us. We can accept advice from trusted sources but here we have to walk according to our 'inner voice'. At the initial stages this voice will be very low but as we advance through our path the 'voice' will get clearer .Our further journey will be on a condition that we have to abandon our 'self-image' or 'ego' at the 'entrance 'of the path. We will get wondered of the new ambience of our trip. Now we have entered the 'stages of enlightenment' of our life. When we experience this in our life we will get amazed by the 'purpose of our life'.
Our life,after all, is not a futile exercise. It is our responsibility. Make sure about the goals of your life and try to find out what are you chasing after. Get rid of all unwanted worries and stress from your life.Make your everyday 'a wonderful day'!
