The Art of Living

I remember when I was young, I’ve been wondering why people are living? Why we exist? Why do all these stuffs are here on earth? There are lots of questions filled up my mind yet I found no answer. I can’t think enough for these, I need answers; I have to know what is really the reason of one’s existence. I am very much sure that in millions or billions of people who are living, it’s not only me who became curious on this matter. Many of us are wondering but only few have really the intention to know. Knowledge on self exists; but sincere seekers are rare. We people are used to the concept of ‘routine’ that we do daily activities systematically and so we better not bother ourselves asking and just do what we have to do. But in the end of the day, you’ll still ask who am I?
We all know that life is subjected to four laws: birth, disease, old age and death but letting go, and paying attention to what is always present naturally allows this divine life to overtake your existence.
Existence of something does not only ends with the point that it exists but to what purpose and position it stands for. We people came from the Superior Soul, our God who has given us the life. We have a superior therefore we are the inferior. We are dominated and controlled as our position here. And our natural function is to render loving service to God as we serve in this world.
Somebody told me there are two kinds of world: the material world which is made up of matter and subjected to perish, a world where nothing is permanent; and secondly the spiritual world or the “Kingdom of God” where there’s no night or day and full of bliss. Now, we are already living in the first kind of world, the question is how can we be in the second world? And that’s simply by being conscious or aware, the things being portrayed by Sat-Chit-Ananda and doing our real purpose which is to follow him and his instructions.
Being a Christian we are told of two major instructions. The

    Ralph Waldo Emerson once said “To be yourself in a world that is trying to make you something else is a great accomplishment”. A question such as “who am I”? Really gives me the opportunity to differentiate and express who I really am and who I can be. I am not a complex person who thinks the world is against me, nor am I overly sophisticated “know-it-all” who doesn't take time to pay attention to my surroundings. I can't say that I am like every other person because there are certain things that make me a unique individual. What I can say is that I am progressing towards a brighter future.…

    What do we have to understand by self-knowledge? What do we have to know about the self? The answer to the question “who am I?” implies some precise opinions. I am Mr. A, Mr. B. A person defined by its culture, I am a body; I am my social role and my character. For others, the question “who am I?” means more: I am a person with its moral qualities, a soul, a spirit, I am a man, and I am a composition. Or even better, I am myself, I am my past. Each of these definitions corresponds to a form of self-knowledge.…

    Why are we here? What is the purpose and meaning of life? These questions, or variations of, have probably crossed the mind of just about every person that ever lived at some point or other, and maybe even several times during their lives. It is important and necessary for individuals to answer these questions in their own minds, hearts, and spirits, as it promotes a sense of purpose to life. If one does not have a sense of purpose, many lose the will to live. Therefore, for thousands of years,…

    Everybody’s main purpose and goals in their lives can be generalized into a certain journey. The journey I travel on is the quest to find knowledge, which is to find wisdom or information about a certain topic. Perhaps they can be about personal issues, philosophy, science, or religious issues, depending on who the person looking for the answer is. The main purpose of my journey is to find knowledge and answers to the world’s greatest topics. For me, every question must have an answer, including the world’s most vague mysteries. With added philosophy to my interests, some examples of the inquiries I have are the questions that start with ‘why’ and ‘is’. Is there a higher power in the world? Are there other intelligent lifeforms or organisms in this universe? Why do people believe in religion? With this teeming curiosity, there absolutely must be an answer to why. They could all possibly be found by one or another, myself or some other person. The quest to find knowledge is a grand one, and lasts for eternity as every answered question spawns a new…

    At first, I wondered why do people strive to do anything, or even to live, if the world is truly empty and there’s not point of doing anything. However, soon I realized that this kind of nihilistic beliefs does not lead me to anywhere. As I started to study Buddhism further, I learned that understanding emptiness is not about pointlessness and purposelessness, but to acknowledge that we are all connected, and there is nothing essential to call myself. In other words, I do not exist without others, because the world is nothing but invented and projected world by…

    In this life you are only guaranteed one thing: that your life will come to an end. In "Life After Death: The Burden of Proof," Deepak Chopra has taken on the task of interpreting what you will experience when the good Lord, your 72 virgins, or His Noodly Appendage, The Great Spaghetti Monster calls you home. Chopra takes a very open approach to the topic so that no matter what you believe in, you can gain some insight on the many different takes on the afterlife. He uses the analogy of a concert orchestra, saying, "If you are listening to a concert orchestra, there are a hundred instruments playing, each occupying the same place in space and time. You can listen to the symphony as a whole or, if you wish, put your attention on a specific instrument." This book has the conceptual appeal to attract readers of any background, merely offering another viewpoint on the only question the human mind may never be able to articulate.…

    Why do I exist? What is the purpose of my life? Why God does created me? For me, there are many answer to this question. There is no definite one. But here’s what I truly believe: I exist to gain knowledge and learn, and pass it to others, anyone who seeks knowledge. When God created us, I believe that He gave us such knowledge and idea in which we should nurture it for us to help others. I live to help and love others. To give them my knowledge and learning just to…
