Questions

My prostrations to Lord Ganapathy, Goddess Saraswathi and my Gurus.

I had a lot of questions : Why does this happen to me? Why dont we get whatever we want? Why people cant understand us? Why is it that sometimes we succeed without any effort while at other times fail despite all our efforts? Why are results not forthcoming? Why should we fall sick and suffer helplessly? Is there God? Does he know what am I going through? Why are some people very successful though they have no talent while those with talent are still slogging? Is there any way out of this confusion? Which path should I follow? Why do people quarrel on the name of religion? What should be our goal? Why was I born? Do I have any choice in this life or every thing is predecided?

I am sure I had more than these and that you too have some or most of these doubts. My quest to find answers led me on this path. Once you are on this path of spirituality: The Indian Way i.e the path of enquiry into the truth, the path laid by the scriptures, the path of rational logical thinking-the path of vedanta, I found most of the answers to my questions, which in turn lead me to be at peace with myself as well as with my fellow travellers. This peace leads to inner silience and bliss.

I shall be back with my first brush with spirituality in my next post. Stay tuned.

Till then may the almighty protect us and lead us.

With Love
