Life Is a Question To Me

Yesterday I put medicine to drive away cockroaches While I threw all dead ones I asked myself Is it not a sin? But I can't let them thrive in my house! Such questions often I ask, Life is a question to me Many a problems I have surmounted Why this suffering led me to scriptures They stated we suffer for our sins But what is sin is a question to me God will you please tell me? Have come so far copying others About right, wrong I am not very sure I lead an ignorant life Nothing is clearly given What if all are wrong My sins will surely mount! Scriptures themselves are so ambiguous Following them not easy God will you tell me clearly In simp!e words how to live perfectly? Spiritual books state when sins end we get salvation But how to end sins does some book say In an easy and concise way? I obey my conscience whenever it speaks Still some problem or other creeps Mind is rarely at peace I am good even when others are bad I try my best not to sin Still my suffering doesn't cease! Scriptures state it is last birth deeds But there is no proof Even God whom all praise Does he exist is a question to me! If he does why doesn't he show his face? Why is he hiding himself? What happens after death, Nobody knows Why is this kept a secret another question to me! My life, my actions everything around is a question to me Life is an unanswered question Why there is so much mystery in life Is biggest mystery to me 30.03.21

I do agree with you in every point. What is the purpose of Life ? Does soul exist ? Who is God ? He or She ? If you believe in Supreme Power, that's not the answer. He or She neither Creator nor Administrator. Not Merciful Either. Because so many crimes and sins are running parallel , Criminals are not punished. Whatever Science or Philosophy suggests, Best to depend on Robert Charles Darwin.
