Life is meant to be incomplete, don’t try to complete it..
Many of you might be trying to live a life complete, keep in mind you cannot!
Many of you might be trying to live a life complete, keep in mind you cannot!
Our life on earth is very short
and we are here to play our role, is there any movie or any dramas which is
directed and shown complete? Nothing we have like that.
Just see the God’s creation, even
its not complete as you expected, if that is complete, you and me should not
exists.
Everybody having dreams, to
achieve. You too have some, what you do? You struggle a lot, to achieve them, once
you achieve them? You think and have another dream, again your struggle starts.
Where is rest? Don’t try to live life restlessly, by intending to achieve
something next. This “next” is never ending process and even in your last
breath you feel something to be done or something to do, it’s not possible to
live a complete life.
Take an examples of great mystic
being: Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad and Lao Tzu, all their life ended incomplete (in
terms of their dreams).
Take an example of great leader
from the history: Alexander, Ashoka and Akbar all their life ended incomplete.
Take an examples of your family
or relative: all their life ended incomplete.
Life is meant to be incomplete,
don’t try to complete it! if you start school you start thinking to score good
% that’s complete. Again its starts as getting good degree or job. Again it
starts to earn some amount of money or some position. Again you started
thinking your kids or others life to be complete. It’s so funny that you are
thinking about kids and others life, still you don’t know what will happen in
your life.
Let me tell you a narration which
is given by Bannanje Govindacharya; we human being are like ants on the
elephant, we all are travelling toward East and thinking that we will be going towards
East side, what is funny you know? Elephant is travelling toward West!
Don’t try to formulate so much to
the life, learn to live your life as it comes, most of the disappointments,
angry, anxiety, stress, tension, you are undergo.. just because you are trying
to complete something. I’m not saying you should not try to complete. I’m just
saying that complete or in-completion should not be the measure of your life or
life’s happiness or satisfaction.
When you co-relate your
achievement of completion to the life’s happiness, many things you lose in your
life; let’s examine few:
- Beauty of earth/nature you see
- Taste of food you eat
- Building good relationships and friendships
See, you see the nature and its
gifts, when seeing you are occupied with many completing projects; by thinking
on those things, you forget to see the great beauty of the nature or mother
earth.
You are eating real delicious
food, by thinking on some completions or by watching TV or by talking with others.
You forget to enjoy the real taste of food you eat.
You are talking to family, relations or
friends, by thinking on some completions, you will not give your 100%
involvement.
Like above mentions, there are
several things are in your life, because of pre-occupation or pressure of
completing something, you will be missing to pay 100% attention on other things
which are really important to the life.
Don’t worry life is not as
expected; it’s not a tested computer program to perform as expected. Many major
unexpected things are piled up in your life to come, be ready to take them with
the right spirit.
Let me give you one narration
which had happened in Bengaluru, with Govt order there are several houses has
been demolished, many people lost their house and money. You know why Govt
destroyed, reason; those sites are Govt sites, by producing bogus documents,
those are sold to the innocent people. Many people put their hard earned money
to buy and build the houses. With the Govt order all have lost their site and
houses. In television I saw so much of crying, so much of shouting, anxiety,
disappointments, so on.
Why this level of tearing and
pain? Reason; we all are living with our Ego’s and completion of life in our
mind.
Before building or buying they
have announced that to all their friends and relatives, we have purchased our
own land or house, now what they need to tell to them? And also they all lost
their dream home, with that, they all thought as completion of one achievement,
of course it’s not a small achievement. Ignorance of Govt and People, it’s
gone. What next?
Let me tell you the similar
situation also happens in nature this you too can also see, only if you are connected
with the nature. When you started to build your house. To build house you need to
buy site, assume that site is occupied or dependent of many insects,
mammals, birds and ants. Assume there are several ant families build their
winter home, to protect their babies and eggs, along with the food. They have accumulated enough food and so on.
What happened next morning; as
per your request, contractor or constructor sent JCB or Earth mover machines
and started digging ground for the basement, many ant lose their life, many
lose their home.
Since we can’t understand ant’s
language, we can’t see their tearing or pain. Still there are survived ants
they go to next site or area and build new house, and they don’t get suicide. Only in
humans we see more suicides, reason; all are trying to live life completely, if
something goes wrong, they can’t digest it, they give their lives.
Make sure you will never ever
possible to live life complete, only possibility is you can live satisfied
life.
To live satisfied life, need to
learn life lessons by the nature or some book.
In my childhood my mother used tell me one of the Indian ancient proverb:
Learn life by walking around the country or by reading Kosha.
Here waking around the country does not mean that, take some cab or flight round and comeback. You literally need to
walk, study, experience, different placed, people, nature, with 100% presence, focus
and involvement.
Swami Vivekananda quote matches
perfectly and says that: Humans are living literature
learn by studying them. Hope you got the point, when you see the world, from the
poorest to richest people, all are living incomplete life, why hurry to
complete it, be calm, cool, and enjoy the life the way it comes.
As above said other way of
learning life is reading Kosha, Shiva Purana, Bhagavata, Bhagavad Gita, Tripiṭaka, Agam Sutras, Guru Granth Sahib, Bible, Quran, Tao
Te Ching, So on and there are many more religious and life learning readings are
available, here my point is not promoting any religion or rule, because life
has no rules, every individual is not same, my point is everyone need to realize
what life is?! Sometimes you need to come out of technical or skill reading,
read the some books that guides the life.
Once you realize what life is! You
started living your life with full of happiness, every minute gives some kind
of joy to you.
All suffer or struggles comes
only when you desperate to complete or achieve something;
Come out of completion, start to live life incomplete, only thing possible to achieve completion is; self-realization
or enlightenment. Again don’t desperately try for it, enlightenment is not a
book you can read and take exam, maturity of life is the qualification to
get enlightened (again it’s not on age basis). Once you reach or close to this
enlightenment state; you will not struggle to complete something, it does not
mean that you stop working, you work, you complete many things coming in your
way, only difference is.. your life happiness or joy is not depends on completing.
Reason; you will get to know; how to enjoy every moment of life, either it may complete
or incomplete.
Anyone looking for
self-realization; follow the
self-realized people and their guidelines, now a days getting enlightened
guru’s is easy; Google, YouTube had enough source, only thing how much time you
have to invest on it. Reason; many people in this world are so busy in
completing something. Yes it’s true Guru’s speeches are not like pub dance or
rock music, but one thing I assure is, if you have patience and get connected with Guru’s teachings, you get a greater kick than
the pub or rock music gives.
One easy way is: Live life like a
little baby, baby never cares about to complete something, it just plays and not worry to
complete or win it [game has wining an losing, play is just a play]. When mind and idea of game comes in it, that create all nonsense.
Remember one thing: Don’t try to complete everything, many things in
your life are incomplete, that’s how the life has designed. Don’t try to fight
with designer (God), go with the designer (God) to see and enjoy the design and
beauty of it.
