Decoding Life - now the game begins



since i have watched this video, 4-5 days back, it seems my consciousness, my boundary of thinking has reached to a new level. it seems like now i can think beyond the earlier limit of thinking. it actually happens. and in my case it always happens in a discrete manner. normally people acquire this over a period of time, they grow wiser gradually without knowing. but in my case, i am actually aware that i am growing wiser now...i can actually feel that moment. its an amazing thing, and i like this property of mine.
              now let me share with you what i am feeling and thinking now-a-days. it would had been a different   post had i not watched this video. this introduced science in my thinking...again, and this time in a bigger and better way. who are we? we are humans. what are we composed of? atoms. that means the purpose of existence of that single atom should also the purpose of every else thing, including us. but its a deeper thing, much deeper. i can't think of, can't even imagine what can be the purpose of existence of an atom. so let me raise the level. lets talk about life. through darwin's theory of evolution and natural selection it is clear that we are made out of some initial single cell organisms. let me call them as initial life. what was their purpose, in that lifeless world? to sustain their existence, anyhow. and with the limits of practical world, they couldn't achieve immortality. so what remained? reproduction. making one's own copy. how simple! and as we have ascended from there, this should, no must, be ours purpose also. reproduction. producing similar beings for immortality, of oneself, of life. we are no special beings that nature has selected a different purpose for us only. its just our consciousness that has produced such ideas of different purposes. isn't it?
                 now let me go a little more to roots. what actually life's intention was? it was the maintenance of existence, not reproduction straightforward. maybe thats why life makes evolution. to cope with unfavorable conditions. and with the course of time it made us. gave us consciousness. maybe so that we can go to live on some other planet in case there is threat on whole earth! it seems silly...but who knows, nature knows everything.
                 now the problems i am facing with this theory. right now it is mainly-what is enlightment then? i pretty firmly believe buddha. how he got to know all the truths of this universe at that moment of enlightment. what was that? i still am unable to find a way out.

Decoding Life

What is life?

look, there are many many answers for this simple three word question. everybody has his own point of view. ofcourse i have mine, too. But this can't be true, how can it be? it should has only one answer...some says life is just how you live it, doesn't matter how. yes this can be true, & i AM searching for such a universal kind of answer, that cover every fact, every answer. and what pulls me closer to this particular answer is this: look, everybody dies. those who did great, inspiring works also, and those who did nothing in their life also. the end result seems to be same for all. so if you are searching for HOW TO LIVE type of question, then this point of view sincerely suggests you to stop searching. any way will do the job.
                  but now comes in my mind the Buddha picture. he so simply explained the law of cause and effect. and as a science student, who is a fan of Einstein, i can imagine his talks with space & time. every cause we do, it has an effect. it changes the space-time fibre which in turn brings change in the whole universe, including the causer also. this change is governed by some  physics laws. and that's all. many quotes and sayings are covered by this theory. this is also the law of karma. now i comes to our own world.what ours say...good doings will have good results, and bad doings will have bad results. tell you what, i personally have come across this fact more no. of times than any other fact: 'there is no good or bad'. causes are just causes, who the hell are we to classify them. nature know no such classification. its a mere case of chance that we live in this world where such and such acts are considered as good, and such and such as bad. in some other world, this standardisation might be something else...maybe there killing people might be considered as good. its just for the economy and creation of stable society that such classification of good and bad is made. at the universal level it doesn't exist. and not only ours the humans, every other thing such as animals, atoms, electrons, waves, energy, thoughts...everything should have this cause and effect. with this same space & time.
