A Cell That Wanted To Know More - The Random Sunday Nonsense Series 7


The Water Bearer at The Louvre




The people closest to me are the people that I gelled with instantly. I knew I liked them the moment I met them, and that they were special at the first meeting (hopefully it was mutual), as though it was all planned and meant-to-be.

So the question now is, is our life programmed and preplanned? Is destiny for real? Are we just living out a course charted out by some power or someone? It could be, if we are part of a larger existence that controls us - like a cell in our body that functions for the sake of our larger self.

One question, then, that really worries me is the purpose of life. Why are we all living? We just wake up every day, do our stuff, go through all those feelings, make people happy or sad, eat, sleep, and continue to do the same thing. And before we begin to wonder why, what, how, cease to exist one day. So what is the meaning of all this? Is not life meant to be more special and precious? Why did they say God created us for a reason?

Seemingly elightened people talk about karma and rebirth. And they say our life is based on karma. And it will take many births before our karmas are fulfilled or cleaned up, and we can go to another level of existence which is pure bliss.

Or maybe we are in this world only briefly, and then we move on to the next. Wonder how that one is gonna be. Will the people that I love be there? Will I be able to blog?

Most of the times, these things go above my head..But at times, somewhere it does make sense. I wonder if our body cells can think. If so, one of them, at least, must be wondering right now what its life is all about.

I really like the picture above..perfect lights.

hi bro, hope you are doing good...i am in some sort of state of...guess the word is apathy, in relation to the blog world.

this feeling of pointlessness is gripping me like a cancer. i was talking to a friend and told him how much i despair for the time i waste after office, and he asked me do you work hard at ur job. i said yes and then he said, i should relax and take it in the stride as even this phase will pass.

i relate to what u write in that a lot of paradoxical questions on the future and the present ring through my head and thats why the senseless para above. i am really amazed how you can so clearly write down your thoughts so well.

though you wouldn't agree, your post also scores for perfect lights!

Interesting post ..raises the eternal questions .,,our life takes the course we want it to ..it does works according to the cosmic laws but nevertheless we are free to do what we want ..it is how we chose to live our destiny or decide what to do about the people who come into our lives that helps us grow which is the essential purpose of life ..evolution ..the normal , mundane , everyday stuff , the simple things of life are in which god expresses itself daily and with realisation the enjoyment follows automatically .

Funny that I come across this post just after gazing at my palm for a half hour.Talk about co-incidence or not,I feel most of us think in the same tune.

Especially the question and the constant wondering about,"Why all this ruckus in the world? What is the point of creation?" ...if I can put it so bluntly, that is.

I haven't got my answers but I can tell you this,my friend: The higher existance or whatever one may call it can read my mind.So there are some things which will be revealed as we get revealed to our self.

I do not know what I am talking about when it comes to knowing what lies beyond.But the feeling that something fishy is going on is not far from the mind.

And from the time I was a child,I remember so well that I felt that we never cease to exist even after we leave our bodies behind.We worry so much about physical existence.
I have no proof for my pudding yet but I recall vividly, being pulled by my ears, when I refused to answer right to the question posed by my moral science teacher in school who asked,"Is man a mortal?"
I, ofcourse, said that he is immortal much to the embarassment of my teacher and my supervisor in front of a whole line of visiting dignitaries to school, and would not budge from my answer even after repeatedly being caned.I felt like I was denying everyone the truth if I spoke otherwise and that goes beyond the morals of being in a 'moral science' class.The memory still stings my ears but moral science remains my favourite subject even today.
Call it blind faith but this one topic I wouldn't correct and I still don't.I just don't believe we cease to exist.There is more,there is more.....
