Have you ever wondered,
what has been the sole motivator behind
every single thing you have done in your life so far?
Probably not.
For rare is the man,
who while in the "rush of his life",
takes a step back every now and then,
clears the cloud and questions himself.
So I am certain you know NOT the answer.
What is that?
You say you are "thinking" for an answer?
Well, then I will stop you right there.
For if you are thinking,
then you will not find the answer.
And because I am never satisfied with an answer.
Because such answers are there to placate the petty Mind,
so that it can stay busy and "decide" ...
"if it got the right one",
or argue and debate about its "relevance".
I am way beyond these mind games that humans play.
I go for THE ANSWER.
What I imply by "THE ANSWER"?
It is the deepest and absolute reason,
behind the existence of the question.
And while there can be many answers,
there can only be one ANSWER.
And this ANSWER happens to have another name - The Truth.
Yes.
The Truth is the ANSWER that the Mind detests the most.
It will create "answers" out of thin air,
which will "make sense",
so that the one pondering,
never gets closer to the Truth.
Back to the question I asked at the start.
"Why do you do what you do"?
And because I do not have you here with me,
I will guess your answers.
They will be something along the lines of ...
"It is my passion"
"It is the purpose I am alive"
"I like to get better at things"
"One has to do something, do they not?"
"I do anything that allows me to improve myself"
"It is good to stay busy because an empty mind is a devils workshop"
...
..
.
Yes.
There is no end to such answers.
For the Mind is infinitely adaptable,
and given the rich vocabulary every language offers,
and the very many societal hooplas that go around,
coming up with answers is a "no brainer" for it.
And while reading or hearing these answers,
others will go -
"Right, makes sense", "good for you" , "nice",
and other such mind-full jargon,
I will say this to you, simply and calmly ...
You do NOT know why you do what you do.
To which,
you will get bored, mad, angry, surprised, "whatever", yada yada ...
But that is not the end of the mundaneness of your robotic living.
Because you will just stop there,
being those emotions for a bit,
then "file it" somewhere back in your consciousness,
and swiftly go back to checking the countless apps on your phone,
one at a time.
For you are so full of your Mind,
that you will not even bother to care ...
"What is that I do not know?"
OR
"Why do I not know"
Yes.
Unlike mind-full questions that are seemingly endless,
those that have the potential to guide one to the Truth,
are but a handful.
But then again, your existence and its mind-fullness will make sure
to have you not touch such questions with a ten-foot pole.
And if by some happenstance, you happen to be still reading this post,
you are either on the verge of "closing the tab"
or desperately seeking the Truth.
To which I will say, you are better off with the first option.
And go on with your day, knowing that this post was the closest
you came,
to knowing the Truth behind your everyday endeavor and doings.
For even if I gave you the Truth, it will not help you.
Why?
Because the moment you set your eyes on the Truth,
YOU will not see the Truth!
Your MIND will read it first!
And in doing so, depending on the direness of your situation,
one of the two things will happen ...
First, you will miss the essence of the Truth completely,
for your Mind will immediately jump in trying to "make sense".
Or your Mind will package the textual representation
of the Truth into an act, a "do that", or a "not do that".
For it is in its very nature to relentlessly seek methods and "how-to's".
Either way, you will end up being more full of your mind-fullness,
not really stepping forward towards anything truly worthwhile.
Yes.
Another post, another day, another week, just went by like that.
"So what is to be done?" - you ask?
Nothing.
Yes, nothing.
For you are stuck in a rut,
a rut that is getting deeper,
the light dimming,
with TOTAL DARKNESS imminent,
and all you do,
is merely seek for just another light bulb,
instead of ...
... SEEKING THE SUN.
Thank you.
