Can our purpose in life be to just spend it in handling relationships? Compromising, pleasing hurt egos, giving dutifully that often becomes a one-way traffic.
Honestly, I am very doubtful we
gain much, if anything, by doing so. We are probably very far from the truth
about our soul requirements.
All the pain, the grief, the
struggles are so ignorance based! But ironically, we HAVE to go through all of
these to understand we were in the wrong space.
The reason we give so much
importance to relationships is not always to learn from those interactions, to
know what to do and what not to do in our journeys.
Unfortunately, it is more because
we cannot live without dependence. People / groups make us feel relevant and
give us a sense of importance and well-being. And this gives us a sense of comfort,
even validation.
But this also deprives us of any
effort to build up an awareness that this is not the real “us”.
That is why, among the large population in the world and several spiritual gurus out there, spiritual awakening is a rare path.
We can say that today; more
people are beginning to understand the importance of developing a spiritual
consciousness as being of equal importance. Also that, this knowledge improves
the way we live on this earth. Because their experiences in life without a
spiritual quotient have been exhausting.
I will keep emphasizing this ad
nauseum even, and if even one person learns to embark on that path, it is a
life well spent.
