What is Life?
What is life? What for does life happen? The more and more you try to seek answers for these questions, you become a seeker. The more and more you try to answer these questions for others you become a philosopher. But these questions remain untouched forever because each one has to discover the answer inside oneself for these questions.
For the outer world comforts you don’t need to reinvent whatever is already invented. You can use the same thing. But for the inner world enlightenment, you need to discover your religion individually and independently.
These questions - what for life, what is life - these questions raise the intensity of life in you and bring authenticity to your living. I discovered answers to these questions inside me. But I will not do the mistake of giving you the answer. I will give you the process through which you can discover the answer within yourself. Please understand, if I give you the answer it will not be your own answer. Any philosophy given readymade like teaspoon feeding is not going to become part of you, is not going to be enlightening you. It may be a philosophy, it may be a bookish knowledge. Maybe you may be a librarian sitting with it. But it is not going to be a part of your life! My answer to this question ‘What is life? What for life?’ will in no way be useful for you. You need to find your own answer. I can only give you the process. The process I am offering to you to find answers for the basic questions of life is ‘unclutching’.
Understand this word ‘unclutching’. This word does not exist in the Oxford dictionary. Please understand this word is my contribution to the English language itself! One day early morning like an intuition suddenly this word flowered in me as a mahavaakya. Mahavaakya means the ultimate truth, the ultimate statement. Each Mahavaakya is the punchline from an Upanishad like Aham brahmasmi, Tattvamasi, Prajnanam Bramha, Bramhaiva asmi, shivoham.
