Perspective
The Mystery of Human Life
by T.A. Ramesh
Life and Literature
In every walk of life the topic of discussion is about life. There is no
end to such discussions in life. Literature is the dictionary of life.
Yet, no dictionary is a permanent thing to rely upon. The experience
alone rather than the past facts counts much in life. The reason is not
far to seek, because life is a kind of exploration or an adventure when
the intricacies and entanglements are confronted with a sense of wonder.
What is needed is an open heart to accept the part one has to play and
an alert mind to face life in the natural way. To see and study what
life is nature is the only book which could be of much use to everyone.
Joy and Sorrow
Joy and sorrow are the two faces of life. Difficulties approach you from
different angles. When once they are overcome by hardships happiness is
achieved. But one of the two is not always stable. Differences between
man and man create chaos to mankind. The peaceful co-existence can be
brought about by the just and mutual adjustment of the people only. By
forgiving and forgetting the difficulties and disputes between persons
mutual settlement can be brought about. This is a wonderful policy
aiming at unity and prosperity. Though this is understood, yet there are
difficulties, hardships and problems in life. You may ask why then life
is so miserable.
Necessity to have an Aim in Life
The satisfaction of your heart solves all the malaise of your life. It
is obtained only when you achieve self-sufficiency in all respects. You
can receive what you expect if your aim is good and reasonable. In
short, it can be said that to lead a happy life a good aim is
indispensable. Aimless life will fetch neither happiness nor peace of
mind. If your life is care free or indolent you will be like a moth
rushing towards the fire of danger. Then it can only be called as a
blind adventure. Indeed the purpose of man’s existence on the earth is
not exactly spelt out anywhere. Everything is going on under some
principles or other called the Natural Laws. But one thing you must have
understood that there is reaction for every action. It is immaterial
what your intention is because your acts alone reveal what sort of a
person you are. Bad acts will certainly receive a bad effect or
response. It is quite clear that even though a good act is not receiving
a good response, at least a bitter or bad reaction won’t be acting
against it.
Discovery of Talent and Knowledge
A bird’s eye view of all the things that are going on internally as well
as externally in your place is essential for you to know and understand
before you venture to have an aim to go smoothly in the long or short
journey of your life. No man is perfect as far as mental maturity is
concerned. It is commonly come across that even aged people, though they
are physically well shaped, are not mentally well developed. The reason
may be due to insufficient knowledge of the fundamental aspects of life
or the surroundings or both. On the other hand, if the case of a small
boy is taken it is naturally an accepted fact that he is immature. The
type of aptitude noted in the childhood is usually seen elaborately
developed at the age of ripeness, if you get favorable chances to do
what idea you have in your mind. If the chances are not favorable to
you, you would have become a timid fellow or a vagabond. So, it becomes
the duty of the parents to see and appraise carefully the nature of each
and every child and make them proceed in the right direction so that
they can discover their talent and express what their line of thought in
deeds is. Not only the guidance of the parents but also the knowledge
fed by the educational institutions develops the mind of the youth.
Therefore the fixation of aim is possible only when the education
continues to give adequate back ground for you to think, analyze and
understand independently about any issue concerned with your personal
problem, your surroundings, your national problems and the matters you
have to deal with later on in life.
Concentration Needed
Everyone is one among the society. If you are in isolation, you lose a
wonderful opportunity to understand your own merits and demerits which
are the reverse and obverse of progress. Dissipation of thoughts,
confusion of ideas and irritation of mind are the result of ignorance
and loneliness. It is the natural duty for you to obey to the dictates
of your conscience. If this is not followed, you have to face quite a
lot of troubles in life. It is well noted that when you sincerely follow
the mere suggestions of others you are mocked at and when you do not do
so, on the contrary, also meet with the same abuse. This is the general
trend of the world. So, when the object of your goal is in the clear
range, your concentration should be directly towards it. Apparently, it
may look to be an easy thing, but there is many a slip between the cup
and the lip. When your concentration slacks a little, the pursuit of
your object is diversified. It will be difficult for you, afterwards to
get to the actual track, if the concentration of your thought is not at
the target.
Mind and Thought
In general mind is the cause for all the good or bad activities of
mankind. The great historical personalities like Napoleon, Hitler, Lenin
and Gandhi became popular in their own way because of the aim they had
formulated in their mind. There was no conflict of thoughts. All
thoughts were converged to the particular aim they had in their mind.
That was why they could effect so much work in so short a period.
Therefore your mind should be always in the direction of the cause for
which your activities are started. There may be many follies and pit
falls, yet the resolution of your mind should not be let loose, because
that is the only way by which achievements could successfully be
established. Big crises are caused by silly and petty matters. Human
beings are just a bundle of emotions. When you are emotionally touched
by an act, you incur displeasure to others and others react to you in
their own way just like a nuclear chain reaction useful for harmful
action or peaceful action. Enmity spoils your progress and healthy
attitude of mind. They say acts reveal the true nature of a person.
Hence it is better you think well before you venture upon anything.
Miseries and Happiness
Life will be dull if there is nothing difficult in this world. The value
of happiness cannot be comprehended without the existence of
difficulties in life. Miseries are common in life. Without hope no work
is undertaken. Ambition and desire are not rare for any one. Affection,
love and peace are the rich ingredients necessary for a decent and
civilized life. Beautifully useful things perfect as art are achieved
only by the tireless and sustained efforts. Just the existence of
peaceful atmosphere cannot be much appreciated by anyone, unless one
undergoes a period of downfall or commotion in life.
Law and Love
It is quite natural for you to go in pursuit of your desire. When
anything disturbs you in your natural path, you may be frustrated. If
your progress is hampered, you may get the feeling that your liberty is
restricted. If you fail to overcome the restriction you may get
dejected. Dissatisfaction in life would dry up your liberal thoughts. On
such an occasion you should analyze the merits of your past activities.
Indeed if personal liberty goes hand in hand with all the laws of
justice, you can really enjoy a durable life. Law gives protection to
freedom. Happiness is the cause and the object of various forms of acts
in law. But love is the unique form of act and by means of which
anything and everything can be achieved. Therefore you can certainly
lead a confident life, if only you are aware of the extent of your
liberty.
Desire and Interest
Your interest is proportional to the intensity of your desire. Without
desire you can do nothing in this world. Your desire to achieve
something better is the root cause which kindles the curiosity of your
mind. For, desire is the source for any sort of activity whether it is
violent or non-violent. When opportunity joins hand with desire, your
thought process develops without a break and you are able to achieve
many things in the world. In such a situation there won’t be much
difference between interest and inspiration. When you undergo such a
phase of life, you can be rest assured that the wheel of fortune is
turning towards you.
Talent and Obligation
The development of one’s ability is chained to one’s own obligations. It
has to be said that obligations fix or change the destiny of man. Though
you have talent you cannot come up in life unless you get adequate
opportunities to show your skill in action. If you fulfill your talent
alone at the expense of your obligations you will be considered to be a
selfish or self-interested fellow. That is the case with many people.
But on the contrary if you sincerely oblige to your obligations and show
your talent in the field you are fit for in the available time at hand,
you will be considered to be a great person.
Perfection
The persons who are capable of achieving great things are rare in the
world. Perfection in life can be achieved only by a handful of persons
whom you may call by different titles such as wise, noble, sagacious,
genius, etc. From history, autobiographies and biographies you can learn
how they lived their life. Their activities show you that it is not how
life is utilized that is important but how life is lived that counts
much, because destiny never sees whether you are high or low and whether
you have achieved what you thought or are going to achieve what you
think. So, it is good of you, if you desire to achieve what you deserve.
Liberty through Knowledge
The life of man should be like that. More over, the use of liberty
reveals a person’s profundity of knowledge or maturity. Without liberty
no faith is acceptable. Liberty is understood and sought for through
knowledge only. The importance of literature mainly lies in bringing out
this sort of realization in everyone. Therefore the purpose of living is
to attain the sense of liberty, love, joy and peace that in Toto
constitute the mystery of and the satisfaction in life.
