When I was studying in my secondary school, I came across a subject called human's basic need. Now coming to think about it , it is just food , shelter and basic desires .
We need a roof over our head which shelter us from the sunshine and the rain.. A warm and comfortable bed to sleep in after a hard day's work , a warm bath to cleanse our body and a dry clothe to wear and make us look pleasant.
Food to eat so that we can have the energy to live for the day and to carry out our daily activities and to have the energy do what we want to do to be happy. it could be basic food, tasty food or expensive food , it does not matter but to have the quantity to give the energy to last the day. God did not give us the capacity to store food for a few days. It is just like hand to mouth kind of thing. You eat for the day and you have to find food for the next day.. God make this daily routine for us.
For desire , we need what the Jones have ? A big house, a beautiful wife, a big family and lots of money. But in fact, the basic requirement is a simple house, sufficient food and a small family if need be. Living as a single is still okay because we don't need a family to survive. It is the path of billions before us and this becomes a basic requirement. There is no necessity of such " big" things.
We come from nothing , we go back to the source with nothing. All we gained from our life stays behind for the world or the people we love. So, a simple happy life is what we need. If we want to carry some bondage , then we get married if not ,we can choose to travel light. There is no hard and fast rules.
We can choose a path that is less travelled or a well developed path with certainties or we can create our own path and move along the wilderness.
The UNIVERSE is very big and we just specks of dust floating in the big space. Breakout from your narrow thoughts and fly with the wind.
Namaste.
