Song of GOD
Its good to know that we are dissatisfied with our current life. Ironically, isn't this what we had lived for till now? How frustrating it is to know the futility of all our efforts. How hopelessly miserable we find ourselves when we seem to be there, but nowhere is in sight that inner bliss towards which all our efforts were directed. As I said earlier, its good we realize all our mistakes in trying to get happiness from all our useless efforts, but it is outright foolishness not to do anything about it. Just because we failed to get the real happiness doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It simply means we were looking at the wrong place.
To be happy we have to know what is that which will make us happy. So there are 2 things- an entity that is hankering for happiness, and the thing in relation to that entity which would make it happy. Only when we get proper knowledge about both of these that we can get real peace of mind, real sense of satisfaction. If we don’t know where to find the answers for these questions, which is true in most cases, at least it was for me, then we need to be humble enough to accept our ignorance and approach someone who can show us the way. I assure you that only our true desire to get knowledge from an unadulterated source will bring us to that source.
You might have guessed that next I would speak of spirituality, and GOD. I would strongly recommend that u read what GOD had to say about these matters of our self. Know what GOD suggests as a solution to all our problems. Go ahead and read BHAGAVAT GITA- As It Is, by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami. We have tried so many things. Why not try out this suggestion? So read this book, and change your life.
