With each sip of tea specially, I am drowned by the question
,”What does it mean to live? What is the purpose of being alive?” May be not
only me most of us have been facing the same question within our heart. The
question keeps much haunting all of us, while being a bachelor student or
moving ahead with a job. When we are encountered with failures the question
gains much power within it. Because, we stop finding the reason behind being
alive. Obviously none of us wants to fail, so we keep asking the unanswered one
to us, “What is the purpose of living? What is the purpose of life?”
But when we get over all dreams and aims, the question is as
simple as it should be. It would never haunt us. It’s the type of question
which should be asked all the time with you. Yes! You are a human being and
probably an adult or youth. You are living the era of competition and
comparison. There must be any purpose behind your life which must prove your
aliveness.
Getting the purpose becomes much tough when we start
searching it. We search it in our work, is this the purpose for which I was
born? We search it at our casual activities, the earnings, the position
achieved and many more places. But once we start searching the answer the
question becomes more vague and broad. It questions all the awards we have
achieved, all the degrees and all those what we worked for. This accident used
to be with me all the time, when I too looked for the answer.
Once I dropped my question, there was the beside me always
alive with me. May be all of us can feel different purpose of their life in
themselves. But I find it different. The purpose of my life is defined when I was
born, actually when I was born as a human. Yes! I am I human and my purpose of
life is simply practicing humanity. If I earn some money then it must be used
for the activities defining humanity. If I learn something it must turn my
humanity.
If I am a doctor, I must treat my patient like it’s my own
wound. If I am an artist my arts must talk others heart can make them alive. I
must be the reason behind the smiles and laughter. Practicing humanity as much
as I can. There is a single purpose of being alive, make others alive either
they make you alive or not. Once I started doing this job, I was never haunted
again. My life have been the answer of all other questions. Aliveness is not
about being alive, it’s all about making alive. Make your aliveness a flavor of
everyone’s life. Make effort, at anything you perform, like you are performing
for humankind. Don’t make aliveness a question. Let it be the answer of all.
