Human Life

 

I don't entirely agree with the way some people predict human life,

as nothing but a miserable, painful, hopeless existence driven by

Maya; where wants and desires are never ending and a man crave for

more and more without any satisfaction.

 

I would like to ask all such people who think along similar lines,

just one question: Why would Baba send his children to suffer pain

and misery if human life was that bad?

 

Hasn't anyone thought that all humans may come on earth with a

purpose and their presence on this lovely, lively, wonderful planet

is not just mere coincidence or chance but they are here to fulfill

certain tasks assigned to them by the Almighty. And, also to enjoy

and appreciate His creation, and work their way forward by becoming

better human beings by their every action and thereby getting closer

to self realization day by day.

 

Those who think only about negative aspects of human life show their

lack of trust and faith in the creator. Since we are the smartest

species on the planet why not utilize human knowledge and skills to

improve the living condition of fellow human beings and other less

fortunate species? Spiritual development and day to day work should

be two faces of same coin and not two separate coins. If all acts are

done with a thought of dedicating them to Baba, there will not be any

sense of doership associated with the task, hence no ego either and

then even a family man can progress towards the path of self

realization while successfully performing his daily duties as

ordained and expected by the human society.

 

Just as one cannot appreciate the warmth of sun if one has not

experienced cold, similarly happiness and joy has no meaning if one

doesn't know sadness or pain. To a man away from home, happiness

comes when he is with family and friends. To a spiritual person,

spiritual discourse and songs of praise of the creator give

happiness, whereas talk of atheists causes pain. So to say that

sadness or pain doesn't serve any purpose will not be a correct

statement, as it may help a person appreciate the blessings he has

received or will get in time to come. What is needed is Shradhha and

Saburi. One can go through all phases of life successfully by

believing that Baba is always watching His children and there is

nothing to fear.

 

That is to say that one should try to do his very best in the

situation he is in, invoke Baba in all thoughts and acts, enjoy the

beautiful creation, give his small contribution to human development

and try to live a contented life.
