What is the purpose of life...? Why are we born?
Is every human being alone in this world? Yes, we have relationships - we have parents, brothers, sisters, wife, husband, children, friends & so on...but still...sometimes I feel like I am alone in this world.
Many philosophers say that you come alone in this world and leave alone from this world and all relations etc is just a farce ('Maya'). Your soul & your 'Mana' or 'Chitta' (In English, closest word for this would be 'Mind') is the only truth. But not every human being reaches to that height in their life to get to consciously know & to constantly be aware of their Soul & 'Mana'.
I have so many doubts and questions...about my own existence, about my purpose of life, about my own soul & 'Mana' - Do I even have a Soul? Why am I not able to give & receive love in my life?
Why it is so difficult?
I can't see my soul which is supposed to be me inside me..or my body, I can't find any anatomical description of soul anywhere in medical science. Where exactly in my body it lies and how big or small it is...how much does it weigh, how does it look like? Who can answer these questions?
But still the ancient wisdom in India always considers soul and 'Mana' or 'Chitta' way above and important than physical body and senses.
I don't know when will I experience my 'Mana' and my Soul? Sometimes I get moved by some incident in my life and automatically I start crying - Is this, an experience of my 'Mana' or Soul? I don't know.
When I watch the bollywood movie 'Anand', I always cry while watching, but strangely I do not feel that much pain inside me to make me cry, when someone else is crying or in pain in front of me in my real life!
I don't have any explanation for this - why does the real life incident not move me emotionally, whereas the movie scenes which I already know that those are fictional and moreover which I have seen multiple times before, still make me cry?
I think I have to stop here, because things are now going in wrong direction. It didn't come out that well...as much as I intended. So signing off now!
