The Manmade Directives!

“Today, on the 3^rd of July 2020, I take an oath to never follow the rules set by humans that do not make sense to me. Also, I promise to try to abide and walk by the path that Bhagwanji has laid for us.”

The various rules and regulations that all of us follow or intend to follow are all almost structured and made by humans. We follow the statements once quoted by someone’s someone. We think that all of it will be good for us too; that if we followed them, we will be as successful as the speaker.

But we forget that it was ourselves who said that every person is unique. So, if every person is unique then obviously every person’s circumstances and scenarios in life will also be unique. Thus, it is not compulsory that the quotes once stated by somebody will for sure make a difference in every person’s life. I wouldn’t say that those will have zero effect but I also wouldn’t say that those will have a great effect.

Similarly, for rules. Ever since, I went to school I followed every rule, every regulation. I never asked “WHY?” because I trusted my teachers blindly and I do that even today. But, today, I have a question. “Who created these rules?” I am sure whoever that was, was a human.

Humans are considered as the smartest of all the animals but we are still ANIMALS! Now, what I wanted to say was that each human has his own journey of life, his own ups & downs and everything is unique. Obviously, with such a large population today, I am sure every 1 out of 1000 people has a similar experience as that of the other 1 out of 1000 people.

My point here is, Life is not about LEARNING how to live it or how to fight through a situation and emerge victorious. In fact, it is about DISCOVERING how to live it and so on. People say that you should learn from the experiences of other people. I ask “WHY?” I would say instead of learning from XYZ’s experience why not simply CONSIDER it? If we were supposed to learn and only learn then why would have Bhagwanji made us humans. Even dogs can learn if you make them learn.

Life isn’t about learning. It is all about DISCOVERING.

Now you would say “What should I discover, people have already made so many discoveries.” True. Absolutely true. But when I say discover, I do not mean discovering a new planet or cracking a new algorithm or just anything that is related to academics only.

Discover yourself; who you are! Discover Bhagwanji; where he is! Discover your strengths, your potentials, your existence. Discover your purpose.

Remember, my life & your life, both are completely different. Our experiences are completely different. Our strengths are completely different. Our reason of existence can be different. But, of course, our source of existence is the same – Bhagwanji. Then why not follow what is same for all instead of following what might be different for all?
