There
is an Australian aboriginal wisdom saying sound like this:
“We
are all visitors to this
time, this place. We are
just passing through.
Our purpose here is to
observe, to learn, to love,
to grow……, and then we
return home.”
Now
what is the goal of your
life?
Albert
Einstein once said:
“If
you want to live a happy life,
tie it to a goal, not people or
things.”
People and things are impermanent, they will change from time
to time.
If we are clinging to this, we are destined to suffer.
The one once who loves you very much now not loving you
anymore, you suffer!
The things that once you owned has no longer yours (may be
stolen,may be broken
or lost), you suffer!
When we are leaving this place, nothing we can bring along, not
our money, not our propeties, not our status (GM/Dato/Tan Sri/Tun), not our
beloved one and not even our very own body.
So it is wise to tie our goal in something that we can bring
along. What is the thing we can bring along?
Obviously is the merits or the sin ( collected from doing
good
Deeds/bad deeds )
that we accumulate that we can bring along.
This merits or sin is like the Bonuslink points that we
accumulate.
So it is wise to channel our time
and effort on something that worth to pursue:
·
Speak good words
·
Do good things.
·
Have good/kind thoughts.
·
Give a helping hand to those who is needed.
·
Practice diligently according to your faith/believe.
Letting go of:
·
Greed
·
Grudge (ill will)
·
Delusion (false belief)
Example:
I tie my goal in Buddhist Dhamma Path. My meaning of
life is to grow,to serve and to love,
then return to Blissful Pure Land.
