Wanderers

[air]

If you look around the world you will find that most of us are wanderers. It is like we are in a jungle; looking for berries, trees, animals, and birds. But at the end, we seem to be lost in this jungle of life. What are we here for? Why did we enter this jungle? Where will we go? What is our purpose eventually? Life is like that, because by the time we wake up from our teenage years, we are already adults facing this world. And then we wander. We wander from one desire to another. Cravings take us from one point to another. And finally, before we realize it, we lose our youth, we are old and the story is over. The challenge is to wake up before the wandering journey is over. The challenge is to realize the truth. The truth- we must question - where have we come from and where we will go? The truth - we must question - who are we? The truth -we must realize that we will not be here forever. Then what is the purpose of our being here? Should we just continue to wander? No, it is time to stop; it is time to introspect, to contemplate in silence. The only way to get to the truth is through silence. Some people call it meditation. It calls upon the mind to stop wandering and be still. A still mind can go within, deep to think about who we truly are, the purpose of life and why we are here. Once we realize this, the wandering will stop.
