Is there any Search?
Is there any Search?
We have already invested so much of our time in the accumulation of materialistic knowledge. At various stages of our life, we always questioned ourselves about the meaning of life or whatever we do is there any meaning to it?If this question is not hitting your mind or such thoughts are far away and you are interested in all the enjoyments and live to the fullest of life or moment then maybe you are not interested at all in this? However, if still there is boredom by doing all these activities which you may think or experience in the void of your own then you are at the right place.
So really is there any meaning to life and really is there any search? This question arises at a time when we often sit idle and have nothing to do and have a stomach full of food and there is nothing to worry about another meal. Do you ever remember that you had the thirst to search for the truth or meaning of life when you were hungry for food? No! at that time your search is limited to food only to maintain the status quo of this living organism.
Is the body really interested in this question or these are just mere thoughts that are looking to explore the unknown with the help of the known. Or if there is any unknown at all and how we will recognize it with the knowledge of the past. We know that all the knowledge we have comes from past or prejudiced knowledge. Can we explore the truth or "what is?" with this past knowledge. Even what we are thinking currently is inspired by the knowledge of the past. Look at the sky and the trees around you, how do you recognize them? We recognize them with the past knowledge given to us by naming and exists in the memory of us, we recognize the things with those namings. Like Sky is blue, the mountain is solid and that is a chair etc. Is there anything we can recognize without the accumulated knowledge of the past? No, we can't.
Can you tell something about the present without using the knowledge of the past, no, isn't it? What will you say now about the furniture in front of you, all the words are coming from the knowledge of the past that is saved in the memory? Can we say we are more than a memory? Now you will say no I am more than a memory and I have emotions and all which makes me different from others. Don't you think Love, Bliss, emotions and all we created due to the boredness of Life? does the body really cares at all that you love someone and not these chemical/harmonical responses to the stimulus of your thoughts which you forcefully try to create in your thought sphere?
Do we need a completely different approach and even if we could be able to understand the "unknown" what we will do then. Will that "unknown" not counted in the known and we will add it in our heap of accumulated knowledge and we go forward for revealing the left over"unknown"? Where this search ends then?
Are we really interested in the search for "unknown" or do we just want to fill the void in the depth with other materialistic and spiritual knowledge which ultimately comes as the result of thoughts within us? It is just we left one thought or suppress it and create a different thought to reveal "the truth".
All right now we are trying to analyze the meaninglessness of each and everything which we do apart from maintaining the status quo of the body. Does this body ever ask for anything apart from its survival with the basic need of food shelter and clothes? No, nothing. It's us who try to fill the void with materialism and luxury to entertain or in reaction to the stimuli of getting bored. We started wearing expensive clothes, and jewellery, and hanging out in pubs and even then we were still getting bored and then we try to get rid of it and start taking drugs. I am not against the materialistic world even without this what else would you think of being spiritual is also attaining some high-level pleasure which is not more than the desire for something else and start practising it. Look at the huge market of Meditation and yoga?
