Did We Question This Obsession With Self Survival?

Living In Fragments 

So much of our waking life is spent on mundane concerns;future plans,pursuits, current circumstances,their implications,then past happenings ,their future impact and possibilities.In fact,there are thousands of fragments of circumstances spread over our lives.But what about the great realities? We have simply chosen to forget them.We have relegated the greater realities to oblivion,apparently.We do not think of them at all.

Fragmented Life

Almost all of us are only concerned about our own little selves .And the survival of that little self is all what concerns us all the time.This survival is surrounded by fragments of desires,ambitions,display of prowess.It is surrounded by fragments of comparisons with others,fragments of past memories;pleasant and unpleasant.It is surrounded by fragments of opinions of others.Fragments of judgements about others.Fragments of concerns about the future;ambitions,apprehensions.It is essentially, a plethora of fragments centered around the desperate need for survival and continuation of the little self only.

Little Self Survival

But think of it:how many zillions of little selves have come to earth since millenia.And gone.All of them were concerned only with this pitiful survival of the little self.Survival, as we know, is centered around fear and insecurity.

It May Be Enjoyment

The other alternative to "little self survival" is labelling all our pursuits with a holy tag of "enjoyment".We think we are enjoying ourselves while ,in fact, we maybe merely tolerating things,conforming to societal expectations,or just flirting along the fence between satisfaction and fulfillment.Well enjoyment is good no doubt,but do we ever stand back a bit from our predicament and question our "camouflage" of borrowed beliefs?Because ,admittedly,the so called enjoyment is usually fitful,fluctuating and fragmented.

 Higher Reality?

So what else is there in this world apart from the fluctuation enveloping the human condition.Surely there is a greater reality,a higher intelligence nudging us forward to a more sublime purpose.

Yet moving towards this higher reality is fraught with widespread discomfort.It sounds so foreign.So uncool .It is unnerving because it threatens to strip us of the comfort of our "fragments"- the familiar friends.Perhaps those fragments are not the apparent elixir we make them out to be.

Quiet Questions

There Might Be an Answer,Only Might!

Now what do we do when faced with such a line of questioning?When we are walking on shaky grounds,and demanding answers of unprecedented,and profound nature?Answers we may not be willing to hear, let alone act on?

The simplest route out of the mire presently is to accept this truth;that we are living a fragmented existence mostly.And next, to sit quietly every day and examine our inner proclivities closely.Then, perhaps,through this quiet sifting of intentions we can come a bit closer to comprehending something deeper.Perhaps a faint light down the tunnel…..

Over to you my friends.
