Meditation
All my life I asked myself what is the purpose of life should I have a goal to attain to reach the unreachable summit to save the planet from forces evil to spread His message among people why should I live? to rearrange the pieces on the planet and build a palace of dreams? to heal people? to serve them to give them a helping hand in the hour of need? Is this why I am born? All these create commotion in me they agitate me they make me want to shout they make me want to cry out loud I wish to sit in silence and help myself I wish to help myself fight out the commotion the agitation – the wish to cry out loud I wish to sit in peace under the tree of enlightenment and relax to prepare myself for another war that needs to be waged the war is what is the purpose of life that is what the world makes me think as I relax and meditate, I give up thoughts I give up desire – the commotion the agitation caused by attachment to that which never belonged to me I gave up the purpose that never was one I sat in silence under the bodhi vriksha seeking in silence, in deep contemplation the true purpose that made life meaningful as I searched for the meaning of the meaning enlightenment dawned upon me the path is the destiny the silence the end of the war was never the means to wage the war the war you fight to attain peace should die the suffering should end the deepest of your self belongs to none you are not the shallow you that sees with eyes, lusts for the skin that finds happiness in dollars the depth is deeper yet to be explored, to be explored by you the ocean of joy is there for you to swim the contentment in sacrifice the freedom in commitment are all yours – the qualities divine
