Existential reality

It is widely discussed that there are three states in which a human being exists, waking state, dream state and deep sleep. The funniest part is how often do we get up from a racing motorbike dream, or our favourite fantasies with our most favourite heroine, and yet gasp for breath, or heave a sigh of relief "oh its a dream"


we do have godly dreams, wake up to find that god was the same mainfested image of our perception as the fantasised heroine. you fight so hard in your dream against a villain to save , or you run away from some thug, do you really run... do you waste the energy that you derived after a good hearty dinner, no not really.


the concept of this dream state is realized only when you come out of this, into the waking state, but who will tell you that waking state is real... why should it not be another dream for you to realize about this in another state. Hold on... am i going jibberish... surely not.


Who empowered you to inflate your ego to think that you are living? your idea of living is conceieved by the fact that you know your hands are working, legs are working, you are able to feel yourself, others, by the sense of touch, vision, etc... but wait a minute... this sense of touch, vision... is it just a manifestation of an energy innate.

Is this life real, what is the essence of this life? We toil hard for our family's happiness, and realize that the family is the not the one that provides or nourishes happiness. Happinees is a funny concept altogether, it is a mirage, visible, yet untangible, realizable yet un-sustainable, it is a state, like the different states of matter. It is the mind's perception, or manifestation of congnitive ego inflation. Every action we do, the outcome ought to bring either pleasure / pain inturn happiness / grief.

This waking state is the only means for us to realize our essence of life. It is not the means to search for wealth, go crazy behind it, or lust, sex, greed, hatred or for that matter anything ephemeral. Utilize this body to cross the mystery of life.
