Death, a universal truth that holds many unrevealed truths inside, is the only reality in this kaleidoscopic corporeal world. But unfortunately, all through our life we keep running away from this reality behind mirage, following delusions in life that keep on misguiding us from the real purpose of our existence. We are living in a fool’s paradise with the misconception that we are making progress at each step but in real sense we remain dormant only the phases in life keep rolling.
Virtually, life originates from the same point where it ends, but we keep running away from ourselves, which is the true self.
It is human tendency to search for happiness and satisfaction outside and indulge in rigorous ritual for the fulfillment of never ending desires being ignorant to the fact that the best prayer is healing of a broken heart.
Unluckily, we tend to chase for materialistic things in pursuit of happiness and put the fact aside that the perfect bliss is the peace of mind. Inability to identify our true self is the actual cause behind Weltschmerz.
Most strangely we tend to search for the bliss all around and fail to attain it at a hair’s distance. That’s why, when god created this world and thought of hiding to a place where nobody could find him. The only place he decided to hide was the innermost part of human entity, as he knew the weakness of human behaviour. He knew howsoever is the sharpness of human mind but it’s the human tendency to look for the things outside, which is the reason why he is unable to identify the power of self, the only power, governing the existence of life. All through his life he remains ignorant from the real being.
But it’s only when he gets brush with death, realization factor comes into being. Then the whole concept of existence takes a new shape leading to many bitter realities and experiences followed by knowledge of self.
It’s irony of life that human beings become aware about the purpose of life and absolute bliss simply when he is left with few more moments of life to repent. He then repents for not reaching to his desired goal in life. The purpose for which he was granted human life remains unfulfilled leaving another round of rebirths, which he is supposed to go through as cited in revered Vedas.
It is believed that human life is the key to attain Moksha, which can only be achieved through meaningful works. It is also believed that this is the only blessed birth to reunite with god where passage for heaven is built with kind deeds and by overcoming passion that ultimately leads to spirituality. But letting this birth go simply by gratifying the pleasures of senses make human beings a failure in achieving the goal of human life. And the lost moments never come again leaving behind to regret.
So the best life is one that is guided by harmony in thoughts and actions. The one, which is devoted towards attainment of spiritual insights rather than materialistic goals. As it is very well cited in revered Bhagavad-Gita, “ That man is disciplined and happy who can prevail over the turmoil that springs from desire and anger.
Aim of our life should be search for truth. The practice of discerning truth comes from faith in God. We can attain real happiness only when we are game to sail our boat without a map to navigate our journey towards the unknown, which requires immense courage, and that courage comes from faith in God.

The Dream
This beautiful story pertains to a dream, which aspired to be beautiful. His craving for being beautiful and gorgeous is an enriching experience of its own kind, which is going to set new dimensions for the thought process.
Such a selfless story in which there are heart-warming dialogues between god and the dream, undoubtedly leads to mental excursion where grey matter gets a close encounter with the beauty of thoughts of subconscious mind.
The seeds of this story started germinating from the very day when that dream came face to face with the crude reality of god made world. There was something, which rankled into his heart and kept on pestering that dream since that day. So one fine day he goes to god to get out of his anxiety.
He makes request to god to get out of his anxiety. He makes request to god, “I wish to be beautiful, Almighty god, can you bestow upon me the beauty?” After carefully listening to him god asks him, “ Child, o my sweet child, why do you want to be beautiful? Don’t you think you are already a beautiful creation of mine? The dream starts weeping. Tears start rolling down from his eyes. The unbearable pain he was carrying with since previous night was really annoying him. On seeing such a plight of the dream, god asks him, “what happened child? Why are you crying?” Dream starts telling the sad story of previous night. He says, “ Last night, I went to a boy’s subconscious mind while he was sleeping.” He continues, “that boy was very hungry for the last few days and his subconscious mind was preoccupied with thoughts of sufferings. Then suddenly that sleeping boy saw himself being brutally beaten up on stealing a piece of stale bread. The whole night the boy couldn’t take a wink after seeing that horrible dream and the other day he died of hunger and due to his inability to get over the whole incident seen in the dream.”
Then dream stops and starts contemplating. God asks him, “Is that the reason you are unhappy? But I didn’t find any link between you being unhappy and requesting me to make you more beautiful.” The dream explains to god. He says, “ By beauty, I mean those parameters which lead to my capability of making people believe in their dream and thus essaying to make that dream a reality.” He continues, “ That boy died and couldn’t survive, what if he would have seen a dream which has encouraged him to make life a success story?”
The dream tells further, “ I wish all dreams to come true so that people who can’t afford beautiful and wonderful world around would at least will not feel disappointed in their dreams. This is all I want, nothing more than that.” After listening to the dream god looks at the dream and his eyes brighten up with the pride on creating such a beautiful creation, which is going to touch millions of hearts in their subconscious state, thus teaching the humanity the lesson of ignorance from the selfishness.
