Life has many phases. Everyone identifies and understands these
phases in different ways. Well, before getting into phases of life, let
us know, what is life?
Life is just a coincidence. Life itself has no meaning. It is we, who
attach it with meaning. Also, life has no purpose. We have to create a
pseudo-purpose for a sustainable life, in our own terms.
Phase I
In the early period of our life, most of us live in ignorance. We try
to explore the things outside but rarely try to know what’s inside us or
more precisely who we are? We are consciousness, evolved from
amino acid formed in that ancient reaction that involved
lightning.
In this period, I explored a lot of things stretching across various
disciplines. These mainly included philosophy, languages, science and
some of mathematics. Most of things in this period of my life were
decided by my family and school.
But a time comes when you have to take decisions by self, you have to do
planning by self. This is when I started experimenting with my life.
After a long series of experiments, what I concluded, I have written
above, particularly from what I understood from Aṣṭāvakra Gītā.
Now I am living my life to live life only in next phase.
