In Sanskrit language there is a word called "मुदिता" and it is said that the whole life revolves around this small word. मुदिता means "joy or happiness" which is the farthermost basis and the only goal of the human life or anything which inherits life. The method or road map to achieve the desired output may slightly differ in every case but the end always remains constant. We believe that by acquiring possessions,money,fame and power the purpose can be achieved and the meaning of life can be derived in such a way that another glorifying English word called "success" gets attached to our list of achievements... But in reality nothing seems to fill the void.
So what it is that we are seeking and that makes us human. We are only human because we are given the privilege to express, act and specify our own parameters of life. Unlike other life forms in this multiverse, we are the ones who can think both logically and emotionally, and sometimes a combination of both is required to experience joy- a certain state of elation. Imagine if there is no joy... will we be able to survive..probably the thought of ending lives comes from this simple state of human soul. Also what excites the fear of death is the ability to recognize that there will be no more joyful moments for the soul that reside within the body and makes life happen. How can we fear death when there is no source of joy that this Physical state(the Human body) is providing to the soul??
Since we are born, we are told about the different constants of life. The constants of success,fame ,money,happiness,peace etc etc.. No one tells us that these are the variables that can change from person to person and the only constant in life is death-something which we can never decide..when the soul has fulfilled its state of extraction of joy with Physical human body it automatically leaves the body to attain a higher perspective of elation. But when it is forced by the human itself to end their lives.. the wholesome purpose remains unfulfilled.
People believe that "peace,joy and success" are the final achievements and highest attainment of Mankind. Let me touch them one by one:
Peace is not a final product, rather it is a state of your inner mind that you carry along your journey of life. It is a term without boundaries without burden. The whole experience is contained within. All human experience is one-hundred percent self created. Light and darkness,pain and pleasure,agony and ecstasy- all of it happens within ourselves. What of what we see happens within our own eyes only(near the cornea)- the Law of reflection.
Joy is what we experience when we are doing what we love and when our body reacts in a positive way to a certain stimuli from the outer world. It is a combination of sorrow, hardships and crazy moments. It is not always "meethi dahi", sometimes you will also have to swallow in the bitter "karela" for the well being. So keep walking the journey and experience whatever comes up and finally joy will resurface.
And finally Success - the most popular and sought after achievements. It is great but again the question arises what particular scenario or rule defines it. Is there any constitution or manuscript where success remains same for every human being???
It is the most random variable which is continuously mistaken as a static parameter throughout the ages. I have seen people who are not successful in my own perception but they are perfectly balanced in their own thoughts and life road-map. When I ask them why are you not concerned about others success remarks, the only answer I get is -- Who Cares???
Today Quotes like -- "Its lonely at the top and Its better to cry alone in a Lamborghini" have diverted the mind on what it takes to be at the top... I feel like asking "where is the top"???? And also its never lonely at any stage of life whether you are sitting in a Lamborghini or a rickshaw.. If you are human enough you will always have someone to talk to share your feelings.. and when we cry the heart does not differentiate if the person is sitting in the luxury car or footpath, it is all the same.
So don't misinterpret values and definitions,rather create,express, empathize your own and live life to the fullest without hampering others stake to Freedom.
Dhanywaad!!
