We all love happiness and feverishly search for it in this tumultuous world. Religion understands this weakness and preys on unsuspecting believers by promising everlasting salvation. “Let all our wishes come true let all of us be free of suffering of danger of disease and sadness! Let peace and happiness descend on earth. This sorts of war cry amongst all religions & while 2000 monks chanted this in Elista capital Kalmykia, all their temples and relics were destroyed by Stalin in 1930. Recently in Afghanistan the Bamiyan Buddha statues were blown off the face of earth. This is the harsh reality which we refuse to accept time and again. There is no self discovery or heaven on earth it is all about violence, death and decay.
Spiritual awakening is about discovering what is real, real work and life in our waking hours, not the distraction of religion and its hollow promise. What is truth? There is no truth, what is the meaning of life? There is no meaning. Truth it is not about seeking it is about living there is no outward quest but inward towards our self—self reliance—self—determination—self discovery of what the hell is going on around me. How do I feed my family, buy an apartment, get a decent Job, and educate my children, small dreams and home “truths” Not merely to complain about fate or pray to god.
Instead we want to hold on to the widely held fantasy that enlightenment means freedom from suffering, the transcendence of pain and struggle, into a state of perpetual, love, bliss and peace. A celestial Utopia, are we all so naïve to believe this will happen?
