The Reason

Over the past two days I've come to realize the fact that I tend to take myself too seriously. We put ourselves on a pedestal and think that the rest of the world is below is. That we know everything and the others are dumb. That we are enlightened and the others are not. That we know, and the others do not.

That is one of our biggest mistakes. What makes us so special? Money, good looks, good clothes everything is perishable. One day everything will go away. What will stay is our connection with God. We have come from him. And we will go back to him. Material things do not matter. They are important, no doubt, we can't do without them but they do not matter. We can have them or they can be taken away from us. But what we can't lose is our heart. Our soul. Our soul knows. It is wise.

The reason we are put on this earth is because we need to grow our soul. We need to educate it. Once we are ready, we go back into God.

When we are born, our mind may not know it, but our soul knows. Our heart is the gateway to the soul. Once we learn to use our heart, we can listen to our soul. Our soul knows. It has lived many lives. It is always trying to tell us something. We need to listen. We should learn to listen to it.

Don't take yourself so seriously. You are just another being. Every living being came from God. And that's where each goes.

We are greedy for materialistic things. But we are never greedy for nourishing our souls. God has given birth to you. God will always take care of you.

We are so full of ourselves that we forget to listen to God. We think we are all that. But we are not. Everything goes away one day. The soul knows. It tells us, but we don't listen. We listen to our greed.

Not that I am above all this. Till yesterday, I was the same. Greedy about a lot of things. I may go back to that. But today, I have listen to my soul. I know that it is futile. Today I am greedy for wisdom. I am greedy for wisdom of my soul. I am greedy for conversation with my soul. I love material things too. But I love my soul even more. I love God even more than that. My soul is my gateway to God. To listen to what God has taught me over all the lives I have lived. That is my wealth. That is my bliss.
