QUEST

QUEST Quest for meaning of life runs continuous . Eternal question demands an answer . 'Oh , my soul ! Where do you exist ? My introspection can't reach to concrete conclusion.' Through last breath does consciousness percolate and evaporate ? 'Oh, my soul ! Where shall I go after demise ? Will you give my shelter ? ' Who am I ?' Since long , dealing with life, now getting prepared to listen to the last bell 'with no idea of ‘After Life ‘. Too long past only to reminisce. Too short future to venture in senile decay. Basically none wants to lose identity. Me, no exception. Body to perish after demise. Brain being an organ stops functioning . Will thought processes be wiped off ? If so-called soul or consciousness be immortal identifying myself, that will be my ultimate solace . But my Quest continues. Life carries lots of emotional bonds. Can those be fruitless? A wishful thought I cherish, ME , not to be abolished , when I will die. Human yearns for re- incarnation to enjoy life. I am not the exception. ' Oh, my soul ! What is the assurance of your immortality ?' Will soul lose individuality merging to Oneness , being blended and entwined with Divinity. Then individual life turns meaningless ! No, I won’t agree . My Quest continues.
