Life is a mysterious journey. Events and occurrences happen all the time and everyone has a different perception of what's happening around. Some people say it's the different lens from which you look, some say facts remain facts, some say it's the supernatural powers that decide every event and some just leave to the almighty and are driven by HIM. There are certain things which you control and some others which are beyond even the slightest of one's imagination. The biggest question is who is a winner then?
There are two worlds as they say, materialistic and spiritual world. The ultimate prize in a materialistic world could be something which one aspires for, but the irony of the situation is that what one aspires for is something he sees or experiences in this world. There is always a grey area in which everyone in this world lives. Nothing is perfectly or completely achieved, as there is always a better way to do things. Who is the winner then in this world?
In the spiritual world, the ultimate achievement could be the attainment of moksh/nirvana. But, this is a field full of hidden secrets and only the people who have achieved it know the treasured key to success. This brings me to a crossroads as to what I should do now. To which world should I head towards? Some say there is a age for starting a spiritual career, but many saints have attained it in the childhood stage.
The striking difference between the two worlds is the control of 5 senses. The materialistic world hovers around the use of these 5 senses whereas the spiritual world relies upon the self-control of these. Also, being happy is considered to be good living in the former whereas saints are usually sad in their outer appearance.
So what do you want to be- a happy firefighter in a materialistic world or a secluded saint sitting on a hill-top searching for the true creator of this universe?
