Last night I happened to see to a documentary about "self discovery" that made me think as are all of not on the part of discovering our self knowingly or unknowingly ?? some discover their themselves earlier than others and become legends some discover later in life and still leave their mark on people around them and few solve this gigantic yet naive question as "who am I? " but never realize that in their entire life & they remain after this question which motivated them to do nothing but live a life on this planet.
A child which comes out of the womb sees the world for the first time and doesn't know as who is he or what is he doing here and does best possible reaction to cry, and it happens that his reaction to this very first question of his life gives him a kick-start to come to life and answer his question, later as he grows up he finds things around him questionable and he tries to know more and more about it by touching it tasting it and that helps him to develop a habit of trying and testing things which will some day answer him his very first question of his existence.My mother used to tell me as we were used to be in the nursery of God, he gave us certain task to do and we all committed to him as we will go to his saray-e-fani ( mortal - motel ) and do our job to make God's best creation and their inhabitants life better and bring them to the good path, but it happens as we come here we don't find those in our memory just a faint idea of the question as what we have to do here, why am I here ? and this question pushes us to do our part in his universe.
Now questions come to mind as why some of us do bad things, why not all of us to good things ? i must say that this is another question which is difficult to answer. May be i can put forward the answer of this question from a movie "The Aviator", the main protagonist in that cinema was a movie director and wanted to show fast airplanes in his movie so what he planned to do as to show fast moving clouds in the background so that makes planes to look good and audience feel like being plane or being pilot is a cool thing but they ignore clouds, may be God wants most of to be good but their may not be any inspiration of being good without some bad happening in the background. The philosophy of ying yang says the same. He created different forms and combinations of good and bad, soft and tough, rich and poor, intelligent and dumb in such a way that one is complimentary to other, their is no existence or importance of one without other. He created Adam and to complete his duty and his purpose of life he created Eve, people will say that it was Satan who conspired them eat that infamous apple but who created Satan ? who made him to push Adam ? Another example we can pick from mythology the legendary story of Ram. Ravan was evil, and his purpose of life what God chose was to fight a battle with Ram, he was the cloud in this story which made Ram and his way of life look bigger, brighter & inspiring he did his part for human civilization. So the villains in comic books and movies, no kid would like to be a Spiderman till they have complimenting villains, and yes "with great power comes with great responsibility" good or bad.
Eisenstein once said that he wanted to be a piano player, Hitler painter, Sharukh Khan a Hockey player, Yuvaraj Singh player of number of sports so what happened to their "other" purpose of existence ?? why are they known as Legend of other work ? Does God changed their objective, as per their promise to him ? or later God changed his mind about them ? Just think as they would have followed those path then world would have been a totally different place. May be they heard their inner voice or they followed their heart. So is their anything like following your own heart ? or God himself is inner voice for all us ? We also sometime say as i wanted to be this in life and became something else, where we are not satisfied or very much satisfied. May be that is the out come of that struggle to find purpose of our life which starts from the very moment we say hello to this universe for the first time. Legends find that answer very early and leave their mark on history.
Lets talk about ordinary people like you and me, why are we not able to find our purpose ? is that due to reason as God did injustice to us give less intelligence, powers, belief, opportunity than those or our purpose itself is to be ordinary. But how come we be ordinary ?? we are his chosen one to perform some particular task and he creates situation for us to proceed in that direction, may be that's because we are like those small components of a gigantic machine which once removed can affect its functionality, purpose or intent. We all are important sharing responsibility to run his show. So now that makes us think in direction as even if we don't do anything he will get it done from us, but wait a minute is that the case ?? isn't he smart enough to have a backup ready a backup component a backup plan ? if so then what happens to us if we refuse to perform our duties ? he fires us ? or punishes us ? or fix us to be back in the show ? or gives us a little break time to relax and come back to business ? lot of questions, which need answers. May be sum of all answers leads to enlightenment which great people got and taught us and thought as they are teaching us religion.
So what happens to us once we serve our purpose to go back to where we came from, same nursery ? does he being happy with our services honer us and send us to Heaven or punishes us for not performing our duties ?
