What is the secret behind our existence? I am pretty sure all of us have asked this question one time or the other in our lives. Recently, I went through a video about how our Universe was formed. In that video, it said that "Big Bang" was the beginning of our Universe, which I found to be very atrocious! How can such beautiful creations be formed of only dust?! So, I turned towards our scriptures!
In my recent past, I have gained a huge interest in reading about our Hindu Scriptures! I have read 7 Puranas: Brahma, Kurma, Varaha, Shiva, Vishnu, Vamana and Srimad Bhagavatam, 4 Upanishands: Isha, Kena, Aitareya and Katha and the Bhagavad Gita. All of these scriptures have the answers to not only how the Universe was formed but also how it will exist and how it will get destroyed! But I do not want to talk about the formation or the destruction of our Universe, but want to talk about something more important!
The most powerful lesson that I have learnt from these scriptures is that "the life that we are living right now i.e, this life where we just do our everyday routine: Eat, Sleep,Work Repeat is just an illusion". Yup, I repeat this life is just an ILLUSION(Maya). We must all realize that we are pure consciousness,ever free, without name,form and unconditional. We are all one and the same consciousness! Only our forms are different and that is because of this illusion. Once, we realize this oneness of all beings how can we love or hate anything because, everything is us and we are everything! If I hurt you, I hurt myself!
In order to know our true identity, we need to concentrate on the Self which is located in the cavity of our heart and we need to surrender our six inner enemies (Anger, Lust, Greed, Pride, Attachment and Envy). Once we do this, we get to know the true nature of our being and hence, we get freed from all our sufferings! Once this Self reveals itself to us, it gets merged in the Cosmic Self and we are liberated and this is the ultimate goal of our existence.
In conclusion, I would like to say that the life we are living in right now, this rat race, is just an illusion. Instead of taking part in this rat race, concentrate on the Self and try to reach the goal that the Creator has designed for us!
Hope, all of you have a wonderful life with great health, wealth, peace and joy! :)
