Sounds absurd,even to me it did.

Till two years back I used to think that my dream is synonyms with my purpose of life  or rather I had never even thought that there ever existed such thing as purpose of life.
One fine day at DYC, I was asked what was my dream was.Oh, come on,everyone knows what their dreams in life are isn’t it ?
It wasn’t a new question but trust me when I actually started to pen down my aspirations for life, it started to become vague. Although it had money, family, success, children and what not but still there was something missing big time, I wasn’t feeling satisfied because:-

1. If money is the dream then how much of it ?
2. Success ? What ? Where do I want it ? Professionally/personally or what ?
3. Happiness, oh yes , I wanna be happy but what makes me happy  ? Is it money  or jealous neighbours and colleagues?

If these thoughts are not enough then what is missing ? I know my self the best,more than anyone else does but still I am not being able to figure it out. Why ?

Some one had to answer it.And it was answered by HIM.

Life can never be just about me.

If life was all about attaining monetary satisfaction then why are these millionaires around me  so dissatisfied  ?
HE said your life is about justifying the capabilities of your soul.If I am to live 70 years , my life counts for such a micro part of the human race on this planet which actually cannot be calculated.So that makes it  very clear, that  I cannot be the epicentre of the human race.

So money is out of the race; success and happiness can never be money,because if it was so, then with every increasing penny in my bank account all my worries would have reduced but actually they increase, isn’t it ?
Q. What will I gain by making people jealous ? A. Hatred .They’ll hate me both during and after my life.

So,it is very clear that I am here to actually do something which is much bigger than all these things.

I am here to do something the entire creation,for the person responsible who made me the way I’m and for His people.

If I had not understood myself,I would have never been able to figure out the purpose of my existence.

I would rather fail in a cause that will ultimately triumph than to triumph in a cause that will ultimately fail.

  1. Great job bro!!
    this is an exact summary of what we were talking about the other day..
    my big car, bank balance and bla bla.
    Some scholar should give it a try and coin a definition of ‘Enough’. Perhaps this task should be given to our ICAI members

    • Thanks a lot vaibhav for appreciation
      trust me dude..it is very much true indeed…satisfaction can never be material…i guess it has to be spiritual and uncaring of how world looks at it…
      and i like wen u say a scholar should be asked to define enough….

  5. Hi Anshul,

    That was a very good & honest article.
    Keep up the good writing.

    All your questions seem to be of a spiritual nature, in one or the other ways…if your enquiry provokes others to start thinking on those lines…then that would be the best reward…

    Regards,
    Girija.

  6. a very good one. you know we discuss all these things in dyc but conditioning of the world is hard to break so it is always very important to remind us of these ideals time and again and you have done a wonderful job.
