A great saintly person once remarked that everyone spends their lives within a series of questions and answers. When a bird rises in the morning it begins asking questions and searching for answers. When it comes back to the nest at night it is still asking questions and trying to find answers. In human society the businessmen, politicians, lawyers, artists, farmers, etc., all are seeking answers to their questions.
Life is a series of questions and answers:
How to solve our problems?
How to find happiness?
How to avoid suffering?
How to make friends?
How to gain power and prestige?
How to solve our problems?
How to find happiness?
How to avoid suffering?
How to make friends?
How to gain power and prestige?
All the television shows, cinemas, newspapers, magazines, are about these questions and answers.
The Vedic scriptures explain that, now that you are a human being, inquire about who you are. The questions about eating, sleeping, mating and defending, and all of their various sub-divisions exhibit the basic trend of human intelligence in today’s world, but these are unimportant questions.
Who am I?
Why am I suffering?
Where am I coming from?
Where am I going?
Who is God?
What is the nature of this universe?
What is my relationship with God within this universe?
Why am I suffering?
Where am I coming from?
Where am I going?
Who is God?
What is the nature of this universe?
What is my relationship with God within this universe?
When a human being comes to the elevated platform of making serious inquiry on these subjects, then human life has real spiritual value.
