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
