Isn't this the one question everyone has in their minds but is either so scared to ask themselves for fear of the answer or is so misled to believe that what they're doing is what they're in this world for.
But, I dare to pose myself this question....What am I here for?
I strongly believe that the all-powerful force named differently (God, Bhagwan, Bhagwati, Allah, Zoroaster, Yah'weh...or even Great Leader) as per different beliefs has brought us for an all-important purpose. Lifetimes pass away in the pursuit of understanding one's purpose in His giant scheme of things.
Gautam Budhha's purpose was to spread the message of universal peace, love and brotherhood. Swami Vivekananda was on the planet for transforming the degrading, barbaric and materialistic human mentalities. Mother Theresa had the sole aim of healing pain through love and compassion. Mahatma Gandhi was chosen as the leader to bring the curtain down on one of the greatest empires human history has known and through a method never used before. Abraham Lincoln was the torchbearer of the struggle for equality of all humans. A struggle which lasts to this day.
All above men and women achieved and excelled in their fields because of a strong passion to go against all reasonable logic and to dream dreams so wild. But they made their passion contagious and their dreams spread.
Am I here for any such task? If so, what is the overarching dream for which I can put everything that I have with me at stake? What is it that I am so passionate about that I can communicate heart to heart with hundreds or thousands or millions? Am I cut out to shape and decide destinies of others? Do I really have it in me?
At the moment I have no answers. I have no clues. But, I know the answers will not come to me. That is a quest in itself. Understanding the purpose of one's life is only half the struggle, fulfilling it is the remaining. I'm yet to get past half of it. Will I be prepared for the struggles? Only time will tell.
Till then.....my quest continues......
