Journey

An soul that's been around the block too many times

For most people it is not yet time. For most people, they will keep searching the world. If you have seen money, power, wealth and pleasure. If you have tasted everything and nothing has fulfilled. If you have gotten to that point, then it is time for yoga. All that is in the world... is brushed aside in half a sentence

"And now yoga"

What do we want? Lasting fulfilment?

We search the world for it. Not finding it. Because world and everything in it is a scam. Because lasting fulfilment is not in the world... And actually 'full' doesn't even exist. Material possessions, Mental capability can always be more. Love doesn't have limits, After loving your spouse, you can love your children.

So what are we longing for? something unlimited?

What can be unlimited? what can be everywhere? What can be eternal? Physicality, energy, light can be here but not there. Somethingness can always be limited. Nothingness can be unlimited. Emptiness, Space, Darkness. Science says galaxies and subatomic particles can arise out of nothingness and go back into non-existence. God is the creator of all things. Shiva means that which is not.

What is the ultimate exactly? How can it be experienced or known? What is in the way of this?
