Path to realization.. n learning...

Emptiness.. Who could fill the void ???


Yun to guzar raha hai har pal khushi ke saath ..

Phir bhi koi kami si hai .. kyun zindagi ke saath....


Rishte.. vafaayein.. dosti .. sab kuch to paas hai..

kya baat hai.. pata nahi.. dil kyun udas hai..

har lamha hai haseen . nyi dilkashi ke saaath..

phir bhi koi kami si hai kyun zindagi ke saath..


This void could be killing.. What is "Missing".. Though I am not at a stage of life, where I could say "Aah.. I have everything I wanted.. its great", so I can't actually say how it feels... But I have read at some places, where people get everything,, but still . they feel something is missing.. What is that..

socha tha jaisa.. vaisa hi jeevan to hai magar..

Ab aur kis talaash mein .. bechain hai nazar..

kudrat bhi meherbaan hai dariyadili ke saath

phir bhi koi kami si hai kyun zindagi ke saath..

Is that the liberation they look for? What enlightenment are they searching for ? I read about the "ten" worlds of a human life, which are as follows (from lowest to highest) theyare:

1. Hell: state when we suffer through some bad phase of life.. It is said that we feel like destroying ourselves and everything around us..

2. Hunger: Our insatiable desire for money, power, status,, or anything materialistic that is actually perishable...

3. Animality: Whatever we do. does not have any moral or specific reason behind it. It is the animal within us that makes us do all the things... We take advantage of weaker and fawn on those stronger...

4. Anger: A kind of EGO generates within us and we see all other things as possible threat to us.. We cannot see anyone being much stronger than us... Even if we see, we refuse to admit..

5. Humanity: We behave as humans.. But generally it is for a lesser time.. We are prone to switch over to the lower four states mentioned..

6. Heaven: Intense joy is experienced here. Could be because of anything.. Our physical well being.. Something we got that we desired for a long time. etc..

It is said that we switch over from one state to another amongst the above 6 states.. I think that is true...

Then comes :

7. Learning: desire to understand the reality of life.. We try to learn.. WTF is it actually all about.. With help of some teacher or mentor..

8. Realization: This is also learning, but this is something that we do ourself.. Introspecting our past.. Analysing with exquisite senses... Realising something that no one can actually make us realise.. So its a "Do it yourself" project...

9.Bodhisattva: It is a condition where we aspire to achieve enlightenment and also enable others to do so.

10. Budhahood: Difficult to explain.. Myself trying to understand... Something that actually requires a consistent effort.. You know.

So,, is the emptiness to do something with the enlighted state? Where we actually know, what are we doing, why are we doing and feel good about it.. You know. . . :)
