My Goal

When in twenties I felt life was shallow A meaningless existence Was earning, eating and sleeping life? Is there a bigger purpose for existing? Someone suggested read Bhagavad Gita First time I read it I had a Deja Vu It seemed I had read it before! I read it in detail and found answer to my quest I am soul not body Body is mere clothing for soul Aim of human birth is to see the soul End this saga of birth and rebirth After salvation, lead an eternal, blissful life with God and other souls I wanted salvation, For this I met many spiritual Gurus or preachers Had many extraordinary experiences They convinced me their is lot more to be seen and experienced than what meets the eye Of recently I got a doubt What is the proof that I am soul? Why is soul invisible like God On pondering I realised I know this body will die yet I behave as if I will live for eternity I want to be young for ever although old-age is the reality of life I seek happy blissful life full of selfless love and care a thing which is not possible by humans Despite my intelligent brain why do I aspire these That is because I am soul These three qualities belong to soul It never ages, never dies, is always blissful under agape love of God Now I need to concentrate more on myself that's my soul as against the body and selfish world and give it salvation Experience blissful life that lasts till eternity

Shhh … I’ll share a secret with you! The seat of our soul is in the Spiritual Heart, here, now, within. We sense it when we transition from head to heart. Thanks for sharing this poem Rama, we are indeed suffused with bliss when touched by love, grace. Congrats on your placement! God bless

We have to feel to know. However, our mind has questions! Have a look at the following: ~ https://sriramanamaharishi.com/faith...s-the-reality/ ~ https://youtu.be/vpZ903R6yqc ~ https://santoshsachdeva.com/the-spiritual-heart/

Where is spiritual heart. In heart chakra or third eye chakra? It is all so confusing. Anyways if God wishes both of us will get salvation. Thanks for my placement

A very thought provoking verse Rama, you're right though, our bodies are but mere vessels to carry our souls whilst here on earth, our bodies will one day die but not so our soul. Hope you're keeping well. Tom
