Fragility of life

Fragility of life

Life is unpredictable while death is certain. This phrase have remained in my mind all this time since this catch phrase was known to me . One day , you could be standing strong and the next day you could be gone . A simple twist of fate could changed everything you have or the way you live.

Yes. I have telling myself and all other people that whatever status and power we have in life goes with the title we hold . If the title is taken away , the power and status also goes with it . It is fragile as that and we have to be aware of this happening including our wealth and possessions .

For thousands of years , religion have been preaching these type of philosophy but the greed of mankind is stronger and evil still prevail and in some area much stronger . So that is why there is so much sufferings and abuses .

Our ego self is bigger than us instead of we should be bigger than ourself. So what is the meaning of a bigger self ? A bigger self is like having a bigger agenda than our own individual agenda. It is to believe is a bigger love i.e. love humanity instead of love for ourself . Our needs are very selfish and narrow which the love for the universe and the love of mankind is so much bigger. An example is that instead of working  for a salary to make our life better , we can provide a free service to the world or mankind  and make earth and its people a better place to stay. This is for a bigger agenda and a bigger love.

However , it is very difficult to breakout from ourself as greed and ego confine us to our selfish needs . The instinct to compare and follow what others have or do to be successful in this materialistic works wonders to satisfy this needs .

We have to be aware and thrust out of this compelling shell and to realize a bigger self.

Namaste
