We have come a long way. Too far from the verdant splendour of life. And as if we are all lost in the wilderness of life - the life that endows us with the bounty of pain and pleasure, the summum bonum of our being and essence. We have exhausted all our energy in quest of more and more extravaganza of nothingness. And our beings are paying dearly and bearing the brunt of this catastrophical predicament. Is there no light at the end of the tunnel?
Yes, there is light if we are intent on discovering it through hardships and through struggling for getting at the truth. Truth is the essence of sparkling light. A spark of truth can be in a small measure a prairie fire to bring about a sea change in our lives so far as the joy and beauty of life are concerned. Truth is omnipotent, omniscient and ubiquitously existent but always wrapped in mystery. We have to demystify it exploring all its essences to a vantage point so that we can get hold of our creative faculties in a meaningful mission.
This missionary zeal is what is our life should be up to. We have come a long way but we have reached nowhere, we have not achieved anything worthwhile. The time has come to pause for a while to think and act. Think whether we have achieved anything worthwhile. Think why there is so much suffering. Why so much injustice? So much inequality and disparity among the people? Why so much moral degradation? Why so much wastage of natural resources? There are so many why-s and wherefore-s to look back.
And we will look back to look farther forward. With that view in mind, we will talk. We will talk anything and everything under the sun. From anthropology to zoology, from anthem to zither. We will be the message board of our own collective mind. We will think intelligently and sensibly. We will talk intelligently and sensibly. And we will act accordingly. We all think but we really do not know how to think creatively and constructively. We will ask all questions and we will ask for answers.
We will think and act collectively and that is what should be the mission of our lives.
