I wonder

I often wonder on the existence of man. No. Of life. What ties this decaying body of flesh and blood to the ethereal world of kindness, humanity, and more importantly life, God, spiritual planes?

What is different in man that is not found in worms and does it make the worm as less. Where does this mind come from? The thoughts that it excites.

What is the connection between the mind, the soul and the body?

The soul: Capable of being anywhere.(My soul lives in India forever in the arms of amma). The body: the veritable temple of perverse pleasures and diametrically opposite instrument of spiritualistic pursuits. The mind: the all knowing, non revealing enigma.

What are these three? Are they connected to one another or perform independently? Who is the super computer controlling each one? Why don’t souls communicate? Or do they?

Yes. Obviously they must. For I can hear souls calling out to one another as they pass. Only they go unheard most of the times. Is the soul really the purest substance in the world? Is it a substance? If not what is it?

The mind? If it knows everything why does not tell us? What is karma? Why can’t it be pre empted? What is truth? Why should we go in search of it?

If beauty is truth and truth is beauty, why can’t we appreciate the beauty in everything? Why is appreciating beauty in the human form deprecated? Why does it lead to downfall? Is it because it is perishable? What is perishable? Why should it be?

Why can I feel that my body, mind and soul are three different entities: each in search of something else? My soul: Not in search of anything but caught in the turbulence of the mind. My Mind: in pursuits of what is good for me or what it thinks is good for me in this world. My body: Caught between the two and not knowing what it does most of the time.

Is there another world? Other worlds? What happens after death? What is death? Where do people go after dying? Where do monkeys go to die? Why do crows die and where? Why the elephant with its huge body die? Why should a whale die too? Why do turtles that live longest cannot speak? They would make good historians. Why can’t we feed the world by just thinking about it like the fish? They can feed their oung by just thinking about it?

What is the sea? What does it hide under it? What is the sun? What is His other side? What is on the other side of the moon? What is the wind, the rain, the air and the breath. What is life?

What is the world for? Is it an illusion like the one that was created for Zaphod Beeblebrox: The total vortex space? Why should the universe be so large and so small together?

What is space? What is time? Why can’t we move time? Why can’t we travel in time?

Why do we speak and why can’t we synthesize the voice box? Why can’t we imitate the heart? Why not the brain? Why can’t we create thoughts? Or can we? Why can’t we read people’s minds? Why?

Why can’t we look into our souls? Filled with the crystal clear truth and beauty? Filled with God? God!!!

Who is He? Or is He a She? What is God? Who is that who created the world and who created Him? Why can’t we see Him? Or is it that we do?

Where are the answers? Where can I find them? Where is peace?

Raama. Raama. Raama.

The answers for all these questions are within ourselves! Who is that who is asking these questions by the way?

Even I wonder. Perhaps we, the humans, should use this body to achieve Moksha. We, being the most, get caught in a turbulence of the clunky mind and are steered toward Maya to sail across the worldly pleasures of the life failing to realize what is Truth. And if you wonder why should we go after it, I would say, as humans different from animals, we are given this body to avail the sixth sense called conciousness to realize what is permanent; What is the truth; And what is pure. Very few, who aspire for this crystal clear truth ultimately finds it and are able to hear the inner voice of that crystalline soul. They are liberated from illusions and finally surrender to the lotus feet of the God through Moksha and never born again escaping the turbulence of illusions and the temporal pleasures of this life. On the flip side, many of us, just sail, sail, and sail, time and again, through the sea of illusions by trapping our souls inside the body to finish the Karma by experiencing the pleasures and pains every birth. Hence the soul is caught between the body and mind and not the body. Liberate your soul by bhakthi - Raama.Raama.Raama.

@xyz,
thats what I want to know to. The soul knows everything. But how to awaken the soul. Who is that guide. By the way, How do u find out who is that who is asking the questions????

@vasu,
who are we to say we are given the extra sense that animals dont have. Did not God choose the company of cattle over men? Werent they who realised the Brahman was with them? Who gives us the arrogance tp assume superiority. Who gices man the power to think tht everything in the world is for his to exploit.

No. The soul is always free. It does not seek anything nor is it sought. The body which does not know to destroy or create. Now that is the problem of the soul. How to get rid of it!!!
anyways!!

Am pretty confused!!
