Why we live ?
Life continuous to be a wonder for some, and for others it seems to be a tragedy, and for some it is a tragic comedy, but for most, rather for all, life is about survival.
When a child is born, nature teaches the most basic lesson, a lesson of a "fight" yes, fight for survival, and every human being on this earth is born to fight. We all strive to leave a mark so our survival will have meaning, a purpose, but the fact is life has the power to erase all our marks, we can never win over it.
Every being wants to live, want to fight and does everything to live, but for what? It is the question we all face but hide our face against it we are all like toys in hands of nature design or dice; it plays its game through our urge to live.
To die is easy, to live is difficult, to die you have to do nothing, to live you have to do something, but we all prefer difficulty of living, to lose to life is easy, but to win is difficult, still we prefer to fight against inevitable. For what and why 65 year old lady sitting under the sun tries to sell some vegetables to buy some rice.
Why we live what makes us to fight for survival. Survival is the basic need if we don't survive the cyclones of life there is no life, no activity if there is no activity there is no life. Llife is about actions, we are not passive creatures.
Passiveness is the enemy of life no one can be passive nature doesn't allow passiveness, including sadhus of Himalayas and those Buddhist monks. No one can reach passive state, Mukthi is an illusion even god has to perform actions, thus why nature designed us to fight for survival if mukthi is the goal what is the need of life if the passive state is the ultimatum why there is experience?
Fact of the matter is, Mukthi is not emptiness, Mukthi is not the passiveness, mukthi is not a state of nothingness, mukthi is not a state of non existence of experience, if consciousness is a meta physical entity then mukthi can be defined as the state of that consciousness which exist on its own without a medium, body is a medium through which consciousness comes to play role in the physical world.
Energy is realized when it is experienced but energy existed before the experience but only with experience I feel the energy only if I see I agree there is a existence of light energy but without my experience energy is existed, no consciousness no experience no life no need of mukthi experience creates meaning but without experience we can't talk of anything so mukthi is a experience but without a help of medium it is beyond physical dimensions.
I like to point to all those greats yogis their fondness for mukthi comes from their experience of mukthi because something not experienced cannot be desired if mukthi is experience it is created out of actions because experience created through actions so when there is action there is experience when there is experience there is some action nature designed us to act you can't act without a role.
In order to have a role you have to have a life when you need a life to attain experience of mukthi it means living the life is more important than non-living, for clarity I will put it like this, actions is more important than non-actions. Knowledge of mukthi is based on knowledge of right actions so mukthi can't be reached in a corner of cave or in a room it has to reach in the life by performing actions under the sun.
If the experience has to recreated we have to come out of the experience because experience needs change of state I can't experience sweet if there is only sweet so you have come out of mukthi to act to experience non bonded state of happiness which yogi call jeevan mukthi hence jeevan mukthi is the ultimatum of life not mukthi.
Nature designed this life of drama so that every soul goes through this experience of jeevan mukthi. Life goes towards jeevan mukthi and it started from jeevan mukthi jeevan mukthi to mukthi, mukthi to jeevan mukthi is a cycle. No one can escape this cycle. Life should be understood through right actions not through non actions
