Thousands of years , billions of people have passed by and for those who are more aware than others, they make peace with life. So, many writers have try to describe the meaning of life is a few words.
Life is a dream and dream is life. well said. and it is very true. But our life fly by and each dream is a new life. \\
Another version is that life is like passing smoke in front of our eyes. It is just to short and impermanent . The smoke is not physical and solid , it is an illusion.
One writer describe it as a life concert and from the start to end , it is like living in a live concert and you enjoy it when you are there. \ It ends when it is finished.Ha
Buddha says that life comprised of 4 stages ie birth, old , illness and death. Everyone must pass through these 4 stages and billions have passed through it already.\\
In yoga, we believe that our life comprises of 3 million breaths and when it is finished , we die. So , the faster you breath , the faster you consumed up the breaths , so in yoga, we slow down and appreciate each breath.
It is an irony why people chase for excess wealth , chase for titles and frames , chase for love and power, All these are impermanence and illusions. Happiness sis what we want to do and be what we want to be as life is so short and flowing non stop.. We aged by the day, by the week and by the years and we are still chasing for the worldly pleasure as we one each day to count and add to our riches and wealth. It is all rubbish and wrong. we are scare to be useless and we continued to work to fulfil our time on this earth and to be useful and greedy.
So, we have to wake up in the Buddha in us and realize the short and fragile life as we struggle in this world. The faster you realized this point , the faster you achieve enlightenment. \\
