The truth is I don’t know… I don’t know the answer again… I wonder sometimes what do I even Know?
Do I know anything? And Everything I know, or observed turns into dust again, once the opposite of that happens… and you wind up with nothing or something…. again I don’t know !
However, All I know is one thing that matters is ‘Peace’. Life is about being at absolute peace from within, like when we were children. We were absolutely happy. Did we think about success? No ! Did we think Success gives happiness? No! We were just happy! As far as I remember, we were always blissful!
However, one thing that also differentiates us from children is worries, responsibilities. We had someone to take care of ; No worries, No responsibilities! Hurrah! However, as we grow up, we have responsibilities, worries, liabilities, real world experiences, harsh truth, heartbreaks and that’s how life goes on … but still at the end of the day in our heart we try to find peace, happiness and bliss .. Love .. that keeps us going on … Faith.. keeps us going on .. Hope keeps us going on … that it will get better .. that we will live happier …that we will be better !
So, Life is about being at Absolute Peace, feeling happiness and bliss from within !
I have been asking myself this for a while, what is Truth ?
And I have observed that there is a :
Temporary Truth :
A truth which changes over time which was earlier true but now isn’t, you can’t call it a lie, but it is just that isn’t true any more …. cause Change is the only constant !
2. Eternal Truth:
Now, of course I am also looking for a truth which does not change over time, which I call the eternal truth, which I don’t know exists or not, but I want it to exist. I have been searching it for a while which I want to be eternal.
The problem with the first one is that it doesn’tsatisfy me, and it makes thing temporary which doesn’t ring positive tones. However, if it is the only truth that actually exists then I have to, we have to … accept it as our part of life.
As Carl Sagan once said, just because we wish something to be true and we want to believe it’s true, doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t accept the truth.
Carl Sagan
The problem with the second truth is currently it is only in the form of abstract. There is no concrete evidence to it. It is a wish, a want, a search, a quest, but no answer unfortunately as of date, for me.
I have been questioning the purpose of life for a while now that has led me to above questions, observations and not so concrete conclusions, because currently there is no evidence to it. No point in creating theories, which are not concrete.
Just trying to understand life truly as it is, and world based on the laws and the phenomena observed cause they are the truth. Theories and beliefs have no place where phenomena and truth is concerned, and that is what I am looking for.
Now, if I go into more depth …. What is the purpose of life?
The truth is (Temporary truth hopefully :3) “I don’t know”. I want to know my purpose of life. The reason I want to wake up everyday, the reason I want to do things.
2. I had thought of this question 3 years back, but the intensity wasn’t the same. This time the intensity is all together different at a different high. That time I had just gently and happily replied to my friend, a simple one :
“The purpose of life is to live every moment, and live every breath until one dies”,
Mayank Soni
And the next one is the purpose he mentioned who had a quote:
“The purpose of life is a life full of purpose”.
Robin S. Sharma
3. Pablo Picasso has said :
And so on.. and everyone has their take on life, but all these answers are beating around the bush, a cover-up answer and not answering straight to the fact. Why? Why do I say that?
We don’t have any other answer, so we are creating this deluded truth. To create a sense of purpose. Rather, to create the illusion of sense of purpose.
We are creating illusions by saying all the answers including the 1st purpose that I gave… I am not straight enough to admit the fact that I don’t know the purpose and I don’t have the answer to it. But to give a answer, a answer which will motivate us, satiate us or make us feel life is precious, we tend to create these illusions of answers.
But deep in our hearts, we know the truth, and no one wants to say the brutal truth because truth is bitter, but truth is just truth, let us learn to accept things as they are, not creating any drama, illusions around it.
Because Life is very precious and we want to have positive feeling towards it no matter what the truth is. Yes, we have been lucky to be born…. born as a human, but that doesn’t answer the question ….going round and round. We need to learn to accept truth as it is, rather than creating illusions and manipulating ourselves, so as to lead a better life.
The answer that no one ever thinks of is : Why do we even need a purpose ? Why should everything have a purpose? Why do we need to have a meaning? Is it necessary? Why do we create these biases in our life? Why were we even looking for purpose in first state? Why can’t we be okay with the fact that I have been lucky to born and living as a human, that in itself is a great gift that we have got. Just live and love life. This is what life is! No need to look for more! Just live this wonderful, mysterious lovely life !!!!
Woh toofan kya
What kind of storm is that ...
Chattane jisko mod de
That returns from, by the cliff
Wo udaan kya
What kind of flight is that ...
Jo unchayi pe dum tod de
That flies high and then stops flying on resistances of challenges
Khud pe hai bharosa rakhna tujhse
You have to have faith and trust in yourself
Jeete jee nahi hai rukna tujhe
Whilst living you don't have to stop
Itehaas hai likhna tujhe
You have to write history
Kuch parbat hilaayein toh baat hai
Let us shake some mountain - do a stupendous task that we can talk about
Kuch parbat hilaayein toh baat hai
Let us shake some mountain - do a stupendous task that we can talk about
Sona hai tu tap kar jo jagmagaayega
You are a gold that will shine under fire
Naa mumkin ko jo mumkin karke dikhayega
You will make the impossible plausible
Tujhko nibhana kirdar hain
You have to play your part and show charachter
Tera dard tera hathiyaar hain
Your pain is your weapon
Ladne ko tu hu taiyaar hai
You are ready to fight .....
Kuch parbat hilaye to baat hai (x4)
Let us shake some mountain - do a stupendous task that we can talk about (x4)
Tere jaane ke baad bhi
Even after you are gone ....
Naam tera zinda rahein
Your name lives on ...
Kaarnama kuch aisa
You have to do some such special work
Tujhko karna hai
You have to do it, you can do it !
karna hai
Come on, do it!
Kuch parbat hilaaye to baat hai (x4)
Let us shake some mountain - do a stupendous task that we can talk about (x4)
Ek do kabhi na ro
One -two, never cry
Teen char rakhna pyar
Three - Four, Have compassion
Paanch chhay mil ke reh
Five-Six, let's live together
Saat aath padh le paath (x2)
Seven-Eight, Remember that
This is a song about Spirituality : A Conversation between a Human and God
Kaisi khala yeh dil mein basi hai
What kind of hollowness has settled in my heart
Ab toh khatayein fitrat hi si hai
Now that mistakes have become my second nature
Main hi hoon woh jo rehmat se gira
I am the one, who has fallen away from God ...
Aye khuda gir gaya, gir gaya
Oh God, I have fallen, fallen deeply
Main jo tujhse door huaa
As I faded away from you
Lut gaya, lut gaya
I have fallen apart
Aye khuda….
Oh God .....
Gir gaya, gir gaya
I have fallen, fallen deeply
Main jo tujh se door hua
As I faded away from you
Lut gaya, Lut gaya…
I have fallen apart
Kaisi khala yeh dil mein basi hai
What kind of hollowness has settled in my heart
Ab toh khatayein fitrat hi si hai
Now that mistakes have become my second nature
Main hi hoon woh jo rehmat se gira
I am that who has fallen away from God ...
Aye khuda….Gir gaya, gir gaya
Oh God,I have fallen, fallen deeply
Main jo tujh se door hua
As I faded away from you
Lut gaya, Lut gaya…
I have fallen apart
Aye khuda…….
Oh God .........
Aye khuda…….
Oh God .........
Itni khatayein tu lekar chala hai
So much of pain and suffering you are carrying on your shoulder
Daulat hi jaise tera ab khuda
Such that Money has become your god
Har pal bitaaye tu jaise hawa hai
Every moment, you live like a wind
Gunaah ke saaye mein chalta raha
In the shadow of crime, you kept on treading on that path
Samandar sa behkar tu chalta hi gaya
You kept on flowing like an ocean
Ter marzi puri ki tune haan har dafaa
You have fulfilled your wishes every time
Tu hi tera Mujrim bandeya
You yourself are guiltier of your crimes, my friend !
Aye khuda…Gir gaya, Gir gaya
Oh God, I have fallen, fallen deeply
Main jo tujhse door hua
As I have faded away from you
Lut gaya, Lut gaya..
I have fallen apart
Kyun judtaa iss jahan se tu
Why are you getting attached to this world ?
Ik din yeh guzar hi jayega
One day it shall go away...
Kitna bhi samet le yahan
However much you gather here,
Muthi se phisal hi jaayega
It will slip away from fist of your hands
Har shakhs hai dhool se bana
Every person is formed from specks of dust
Aur phir usme hi jaa mila
And then shall one day will mingle into it
Yeh haqiqat hai tu jaan le
You should know this truth now
Kyun sach se mooh hai pherta (Aaa…)
Why are you having a blind eye towards the truth
Chahe jo bhi hasrat poori kar le
Fulfill all your wishes, and get all the success
Mitegi na fitrat yeh samajh le
This nature (of wanting more and more) will not change
( Meaning : You would always want more, no matter how many wishes you fulfill
There will always be a next desire, and you will remain unfulfilled )
Mit jayegi teri hasti
All your name, fame and your existence will get demolished one day
Bhar na payega Yeh dil bandeyaa
But your heart will never get fulfilled with it and find peace, Oh my friend !
Aye khuda…Gir gaya, Gir gaya
Oh God, I have fallen, fallen deeply
Main jo tujhse door hua
As I faded away from you
Lut gaya, Lut gaya..
I have fallen apart
Gar tu soche tu hai gira
If you think that you have fallen away
Mere haath ko thaam, Uth zara.!
Just hand over your hands to me .. and stand up !
Tere dil ke dar pe hoon khada
I am standing on the doors of your heart
Mujhko apna le tu zara
Just accept me as a part of your life
Tu kahe tu hai saaye se ghira
You say that you have fallen away from my shadows...
Teri raahon ka main noor hoon
I am the light in your pathway
Tere gunah ko khud pe le liya
I have taken all your crimes on me
Meri nazaron mein bekasoor tu
In my eyes, you are now forgiven and not guilty
Aaa…
Aisa koi manzar tu dikh la de
Show me a sight in this world
Mujhe koi shakhs se mila de
Make me meet with a person in this world
Aisa koi dil se tu sunwa de
Make me hear out from some heart
ke zakhm koi use na mila
who has not got hurt and has no pain
Aye khuda…Gir gaya, Gir gaya
Oh God, I have fallen, fallen deeply
Main jo tujhse door hua
As I faded away from you
Lut gaya, Lut gaya..
I have fallen apart
Aaa… Aa.. aa…

Khwabon ko jagah na mili aankhon mein
Dreams could not find place in my eyes
Wahaan pehle se hi sailaab tha
There were already floods of tears and dreams (unfulfilled) in my eyes
Nagme banaata fira saazo pe
Tried making melodies from musical sound
Dil apna fakat mizraab thha
But ..My heart was only a plectrum (used to play guitar strings)
( Meaning : There is no melody in my life without you, it is just musical sound - lifeless !)

The question that is bothering me for a while now – Is everything pointless ? Don’t get me wrong over here; I am not going through a depression or may be I am; I don’t know ! Frankly speaking, now I don’t care ! All I know is ; If I am in Depression, I want to come out of it and enjoy the beauty of life; and if I am not; I still want to do the same ; enjoy the beauty of life ! And by beauty : I mean everything the labels of ups and down; good and bad; absurd and weird; understandable and incomprehensible; all of it ! Deep down in my heart, however I only want good, better and best things to happen to me and all around the world; but that’s not how life is ! It doesn’t differentiate between our labels of good and bad !
However; the important note I want to mention whilst the fact that the thought provoking question I have put; doesn’t take away the fact that : Health is important; Career is important; the way I live; love and enjoy is also important; but at the same point it’s all pointless ! The labels that we put for our achievements, successes, appreciation, praises; is it going to matter when we are almost at the end of life ? The frank truth is I don’t know the answer, because I haven’t been near the deathbed yet ( Thankfully! or maybe just not thankfully – does it matter ? ). Although, something tells me that; when you are on your deathbed; those things won’t matter a lot. Yes, all the things are valuable ; health. career, money, house, etc … but what’s the value of this at the death ?
I mean : ” Death seems to such a weird phenomenon which adds value to the present actions; at the same time it makes them not so valuable at all”. I mean it’s such a perplexing phenomenon that all the meaning you have attributed has been only by you. Life probably doesn’t have meaning in it and I wonder why are/were we even searching for meaning, purpose and fulfillment and satisfaction in the first place ? Where did it all come from ? Was it just natural phenomenon or mind conditioning ? How did it all happen ?
Yes, I know we don’t have answers to many questions in the world ! But the curiosity and search to find these answers is what makes me live ! Probably my purpose ! ( :3 Duh ! What am I saying ! Trying to be spooky .. haha)
Anyways, my final answer as of now is : Yes, Life is probably pointless in its own-self ! It is just Life ! That’s it ! It has only one purpose : It wants to live ! Nothing else, until the day comes over to take it away and die ofcourse !
Other than that, any other purpose or something that ticks you is the meaning you find in or the purpose you have found; that fulfils you or the meaning that you have attributed; the emotion that you have connected it with; the experiences you have had; the beliefs you keep with yourself; the surroundings you found yourself in; the persona and the environment you got influenced by; the truth you thought; the perspective you kept; the values you fed into; the actions you bought into; the life that you lived into ! That’s what has made you or probably even something else that my mind didn’t catch onto …. That’s what Life is ! That’s how Life is! Let Life be just Life ! Cheers !
Bas ek chingari.. se aag lagti hai
Just a spark is required to fire you up
Wo chingari toh soyi hai tere hi seene mein
That spark is sleeping within you .. inside your heart
Zamana jaisa hai usey waisa hi rehne de
Let the world be the way it is ..
Batao na mazaa hi kya hai aise jeene mein
Tell me now .. what kind of life are we living ! Make it better !
Bas ek chingari.. se aag lagti hai
Just a spark is required to fire you up
Wo chingari toh soyi hai tere hi seene mein
That spark is sleeping within you .. inside your heart
Karta hai kyun shikayatein
Why are you complaining so much ??
Pehle sudhaar aadatein
Don't complain ;First better up your habits
Ik ik boond se hi banta hai samandar
With every single drop of ocean; the sea gets formed
Khud pehla kadam uthaa
Take the first step yourself
Khud apni kasam tu khaa
Make a promise with yourself
Tujhko pata nahi Khuda hai tere andar
You don't know that God resides within you !
Nakamiyon ke bahaane hazaron hai
There are thousands of reasons for not getting the success
Kiska kusoor kahein
Who is to be blamed ?
Par zimmedari humaari bhi banti hai
But it is also our responsibility
Itna zaroor kahein
Atleast we should accept it
Jo ho raha hai aankhon ke aage hai
Whatever is happening is in front of the eyes
Nazrein kyun pher lein hum
Why should we shut away and take off our eyes from them ?
Apne iraadon se manzar badalne ka
With determined will and strong intention ...change the tide of your circumstances
Sar pe suroor rahe
Have such passion (intoxication) of your goals
Mere yaara mere yaara sun le
Oh friend ...my friend, just listen to ..
Dil ki pukaar zaraa
Listen to the voice of heart !
Sacchaiyan saari nazdeek hain tere
All the truths are near you ... you know them in your heart
Jo dhoonde tu milengi wo tujhe aaine mein
Just have a look ... You will find them in the mirror of self-reflection
Zamana jaisa hai usey waisa hi rehne de
Let the world be the way it is ..
Batao na mazaa hi kya hai aise jeene mein
Tell me now .. what kind of life are we living ! Make it better !
Karta hai kyun shiqayatein
Why are you complaining so much ??

Khud apni kasam tu khaa

Tujhko pata nahi Khuda hai tere andar
You don't know that God resides within you !
Tujhko pata nahi Khuda hai tere andar
You don't know the huge potential residing within you !
Tujhko pata nahi Khuda hai tere andar
You don't know you have the infinite sourceof energy within you waiting to be awakened !
I want to become a writer. Yes, I want to be a writer !
I want to do the work that I love doing.
And most importantly I want to be happy doing that. That’s all there is ! Isn’t it ?
I want to write lot of songs, whatever is inside my heart, within me and I want to just pour it out on the paper ( or desktop : 3). I don’t know where has this urge come from, and it is so strong that I can’t help but write. I just have to write! It’s as if it is almost impossible to stop this. I have been wanting to write for few years now ( 5 years) ; but this time it isn’t letting me off the hook. It just seems like there is a lot within me wanting to come out and express itself in some form or the other. How has this happened? Why has this happened ? God knows! (phhhh..)
Maybe it’s the only time I am able to be myself. Maybe it’s the only time I am able to express myself; be myself; maybe it allows me a place where people don’t judge me; maybe I just want to write, coz I love it. Yeah, that’s it! I love writing and that’s why I want to do it! That’s it!
If I had all the money in the world or financial freedom you would call : I would want to be a writer ! I would want to do the work that I love doing! I would be myself and would love living like that ! No social pressure ! No expectations ! Nothing ! Just pure simple life ! Do the work that you love doing ! Plain Simple !
I wonder however, Why did the society become so complicated ! Why wouldn’t they let me be the way I want to be ! ( Of course, not being harmful to them! Duh-huh! But then why are they harming me; why are they expecting me to do a job that I don’t want to do! Why can’t I do the job that I love doing ? ) I do feel that I have a lot of potential and I must do it ! Like definitely give it a try ! Failure or Success ! I can’t guarantee that! Of course, no one can guarantee anything ! We are living in such unprecedented times; that a virus can come and snatch everything right away – right now from me; flowing through the air, from the smallest gaps of window; anything can happen as they say ! Expect the unexpected; they say!
But still, it’s our human tendency to feel secure, to have stability, to have job ( which is important by the way for survival ). But yeah, being a writer; like just writer; is definitely a riskily risk; it’s not a calculated one! ( Sadly, I know that as well; somewhere in my heart. It would have been really great perhaps; if I would have been a bit naïve in this regards, so as to take this deep plunge of faith and be happy regardless of the results! Alas, it isn’t so! I know a bit that I shouldn’t have known ! Damn it !)
You definitely have to be a bit lucky, in this regards and then what not of the other factors; if you have potential or not .. if you can do it or not… if you would be able to crack it or not .. no one knows! No one barely knows! But still; all a man can do is : ‘TRY’ ! Just TRY is all he can do! Give his best; is all he can do ! That’s all we can do! That’s all we must do!
And That’s what I am going to do ! I am just going to keep on writing; keep on writing; until the day comes or it doesn’t come ! It doesn’t matter ! To be honest, it matters, I know ; it matters ! I want to be successful in my arena of writing ! It is the work that I love doing ! And I want to be successful and the only way to find out is : Try ! Let’s see what happens ! At least I won’t have the regret that I didn’t try or did not give my best ! Huh ! Coz : All that matters is : Give Your Best !
Well, With that, I bid you all a good day, happiness and prosperity ! Thanks for having a read ! It definitely made my day! Hope it made yours !
In the end, If needed : Stay home ; Stay Safe ; Most Importantly : Stay Happy !
