Empty Heart ,Empty Head

My mind is muffled with thoughts,thoughts of what do i need from my life,What is my goal, or for that matter for what purpose man is sent on earth.This is a question that has puzzled and has haunted thinkers and saints from the prehistoric times.

Man was born with a hole in his heart.Whatever he does and how hard he tries to fill the hole , the void becomes bigger.People have tried a whole lot of things .Some think that money is the source to achieve happiness, eventhough they have completely misunderstood the whole plot.With increasing bank balance they are also stocking their balance of tensions which eventually lead to health problems and rift in their relations.The thirst for money is never ending and it just brings out the hollowness in you , making it stronger with every penny you pile up ,moribounding the life in you.

There is also a lot of people who think money is baseless and renunciation from wordy pleasures will make them achieve true peace.But in the mad race of finding peace and renunciation , they themselves are harboring an emotion called as GREED.

Let it be greed of money or the greed to renounce it, the problem is it doesn't fill the void.One strives for excellence just because he thinks that this might give him the much needed self satisfaction, the thing which drives most of our actions and decisions.But in the process of achieving self satisfaction he becomes empowered by the madness of MORE.And when he is intoxicated with his carnal desires and Greed of More the man becomes a Satan who is ready to engulf the whole of world in order to satisfy the growing voidness in himself.

what if man would have been a satisfied creature,the void is filled with the fluid of contentment.If he would have been satisfied , we would have lived in a world which would have been very dormant and almost unchangeable.There wouldn't be any world wars and crimes , because people would have been satisfied with what all they have in their life.There would be peace , and sadness would be miles away from human beings.But i think in change it would have taken away the liveliness of the world.The peace would somehow look shallow and its true importance would have been lost , because people wouldn't have experienced sadness.Love , hate ,peace ,war all these words are relative.One could not experience the true importance of happiness until he has experienced the bitter fruit of pain.Don't you think if this fire for excellence and need to achieve more wouldn't have been there , our world would have been the same as it was in pre-historic ERA.People would have been happy with the way life is and the evolution would have stopped.The life in change would have been boring and gloomy . It was this passion and not the contentment that gave rise to the Einsteins and the newtons ,and what all advancements we have made in today's world has been a reproduction of the same mother.

Maybe this was all god's plan.He created man with a hole but with the hole he gave us consious.A fruit which distinguishes us from animals.Consious to use the desire created by the hole to do works which will help to improve the society.Maybe god's plan was to make human beings as the gardners of his garden .But we let our hole overpower our consiousness which has made us more like an animal.Its being rightly said "With great power comes great reposibilities" .We have been naive to use the powers we have, to destroy all thats around us and not to use the power we have to make a world better plave to live.Maybe its time to hear the voice from inside and to understand the true purpose of man's creation.
