Simple faith leads to profound peace

Have you realised anytime that when we ignore the 'higher-level purpose' of life, we see everything meaningless; that feeling increases anxiety and depression.

Regardless of how successful we are with our personal objectives, we may not feel secured without addressing the high-level objective; the purpose of our existence.

However, it is wrong to say ‘let us enjoy the journey and forget about the destination’ because if you find yourself in a train, why you should not enjoy the beautiful scenes on the route before first ask: why am I here? Where is the destination?

Here we should first ask ‘what is the purpose of life?’ What is the value of life if we do not know the purpose of that life? It is the greatest good for an individual to discuss virtue every day...for the un-examined life is not worth living – Socrates

Our life on earth is a very short period compared to the universe time scale; It could be a temporary test period. God is testing us in our short life on earth; the wealthy father has the right to test his children before distributing the wealth. Testing missions are not supposed to be easy and comfortable. The test questions are not supposed to be known in advance.

Because the obedient son who takes care of others should be rewarded better than the disobedient son who persecutes others. Although God knows what’s in our hearts and what each of us might do, he tests us and wants us to witness our own test results in order to admit that we have been fairly rewarded according to our achievements as recorded in the test results. Before the wealthy father distributes his wealth, he may want to record which son is obedient, the records are not for the father who knows, but as a testimony for people who might question the justice of their father.

Although the wise teacher knows the hard-working student and the lazy student, he prepares regular exams as testimonies so that the students would not say that the teacher had favored some students over the others. Exams also urge students to get prepared in order to succeed, we have not created the gifts of sight, intelligence, conscience, and many other gifts. Those who can see the miracles in everything around them and in their own creation then deny the existence of God, those must be mistaken.

There are late discoveries we have learned about nature that I will try and explain as inherently true, which will then lead to one fundamental truth about reality as we know it. There is great peace in this truth if only you are open to understanding it. There are eloquent mathematical equations that give science structure, and even if you are a person of faith, it is not rational to deny this, though I can make sense of how it would be rational to think your very specific omnipotent God, Shiva, Void, Divine, or whoever, created what we know as science.

I believe that all ancient religions masquerade the same omnipresent entity under a different pseudonym as a necessary means to point out a quite obvious, yet paradoxically unbelievable truth about life as we know it. To explain how I have obtained this point, which I call knowingness, you must first understand scientific law, which will then help you reverse engineer God and see it for what it is. Most of the people who know me best, do not know how I feel. It is something I rarely speak of, but it is evident when they see me. I have an inner calm about life, I did not possess, until my heart was softened.

If anyone would have told me that there would come a time in my life, when I would be able to say that I understand passages such as, John 14:27 - Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. I pray that you find the peace you seek! Cheers!

Exploring the Why and Wha t of life opens a new dimension of living beyond the love for success,wealth,comforts,power and all other earthly pulls. Faith is the route to peace, we become entitled to it if only we don't become oblivious of the destination immersed in the thrill of the journey. Your analogies of teacher and students, life's purpose are apt. A very insightful post. Kudos Kishoreji.
