Few days ago read a Friend of Friend's Facebook comment that reads, "Life's hard?!?! Compared to what?" Most of us see life as tough/boring/useless/uninteresting blah blah. Only situations and moments keep us happy but life as a whole is looked as an interesting boat carrying us to nowhere. Let me guess, at this present moment I am sitting in front of my computer in office. Is this making me happy or interesting? Hmm..No! Then what would make me happy?? Not sure.
I was also thinking about the lines I read in an Osho book which talks about Tagore and his mind adventure in his book Gitanjali. In one instance, Tagore finally finds a mountain atop where God is residing behind the closed doors. As he was climbing, his heart pounded asking various questions. When he finally reached the door and about to knock, he felt stoned and started running down the hill. Later he tells the readers that he was unsure of what he would do after meeting the God. May be his present life would come to an end!!
What I could infer from all of my thoughts poured here is the happiness is not about the destination you would reach sometime. Time here is always uncertain. True happiness is in the journey, thought of travelling towards something that would give you perfection/peace/happiness. True happiness is in the conscious living of present moment. The moment. Now!!
As Oogway says in Kung Fu Panda, "Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. That's why it is called as present". So enjoy the journey!!!! Each and every moment of it!!!
