What is Life?

We are neither born nor do we die, we simply fall into lifetimes of karmas, samskaras. Are we physical or mental? Why do we come here? Where do we go after physical death? Are you questioning the purpose of your life? We are here to learn certain attitudes, embrace knowledge, practice charity, love and acts of compassion, have faith, develop intuition and attain to our Greater Self. We repeat our re-births because we missed something in the previous lifetime. If we "listen" to the stillness, we get to really "know" the missing pieces. Why not attempt to "get it" now and not repeat the wrong attitudes again. Everyone gets an equal chance even though we may not all be created with an equal set of circumstances, skills or comprehension. This simply means that you are perfect wherever you are and judging yourself in the physical reality does nothing for your enlightenment. Doors are open and we need to enter through them and embrace the opportunity presented within. How do we do this? Be in the present, live NOW! and you already have attained the missing link. Do not worry about the past or the future yet to come, only handle the present and the past becomes perfect. Leave the rest to the Higher Self. Be patient. We are all perfect just as we are. Never try to change or control anyone including yourself. Simply accept and transform your reaction to the present. This brings about the practice of equanimity. We get to decide when we die and when we are reborn. Yes a strange concept indeed but we do. You do not have to believe in a God of the lay religions but to simply have faith in a higher power than yourself. It is not necessary for rituals or incantations or anything special. Do not be of the world, simply be in it, experience and learn every day.
