Your sole purpose in life

"Destiny is not designed by mere 
mortals like us. 
It is crafted 
by God."
-Rodrigo Duterte

This world is a busy place. Many come, many go but life never stops. We are adapted to such a life. We don't know or maybe we don't want to know the main purpose of our existence. Were we sent to sit on the praying rug hunched or is there a different reason of our life? My words at the moment would be tough to understand because we don't know our purpose of existence yet and it's a secret how can we know it? But trust me, once in a lifetime, two roads open up to you and there you have to decide between the purpose of existence and means of existence. Now the question arises, how to know which road leads to the sole purpose of life? Simple: the place where the heart is and the place where the heart is, is the place where you're brought to tears. Our heart can never lead us astray as the God lives there. The heart is your temple and the key of its door hides in your everyday life; your acts. The door opens if you are kind. The door locks, if you are crook. This is the truth, this is life.

"Tear down the mosque, tear down the temple
Tear down everything in sight
But don't (tear down) break anyone's heart
Because God lives here''
-Bulleh Shah  

Your purpose in this world is your destiny. It's what God decided for you and yet he cannot decide anything wrong. To be honest, This journey is even more gorgeous than the destination itself. Yes, it's difficult and sometimes you feel like no one is there with you. But whenever we feel that no one is paying attention to what we are doing, let us remember that God is still there, watching and listening.

Try to find your sole purpose and try to be positive. Each one of us is born with a responsibility given by God and how sacred would it be when you are doing what God decided for you.

God of ecstasy

Greek mythology and its gods have always fascinated me. Many of my previous posts are, in actuality, derived from my conclusions of mythical Greek pieces- which I refer to as the seeker's well. Greek tragedy talks about human beings today. It is as relevant as it ever was. There's a lot to discuss when it comes to this literature, but today's post is dedicated to ecstasy and self-worth, which- by every means- takes us to the humanized notion of euphoria: Dionysus, the god of ecstasy.  Reading Friedrich Nietzsche drove me through many phases of existence, spiritually. People familiar with this name must know the starting of Nietzsche's historical spiritual journey; it was the interest in Greek tragedy- especially the god of ecstasy- that took him away from his orthodox Christian roots and landed him in the seeker's vessel. In his book, Twilight of the idols, Nietzsche wrote: "Herewith I again stand on the  soil out of which my intention,  my ability grows- I, th

Acquire the Mirror

''I'll not put you in the heart, or you'll be wounded. I'll not keep you in the eye, or you'll be lowly. I'll give you a place in the spirit, not the eye or the heart, so you'll be my companion till the last breath.'' How do you see God? Which attribute of His do you most refer to Him with? Is He the 'severe' God, planning punishments and igniting the fire of hell, or is He the 'gentle' One, ready to forgive every mistake of His creation? So what's your answer, severe or gentle? Remember the answer as you'll need it later, after reading today's post. By getting to know a bit of philosophy and religion, I can confidently conclude that the gist of the teachings of every prophet, saint, and a godly person is to 'Acquire a mirror'. But what exactly is this mirror?  Visualize a simple mirror every household has, a mirror that has no inclinations, that shows the same image in front of it, that reflects 'you'.

Are you ready to ask?

When I do not understand something, I question it. For, to gain knowledge about something, one must acknowledge the vagueness that it brings. The void that inhibits your brain when you don't know something. Like an unprepared student staring at the words on an exam that do not make sense to them. Unprepared. That's the keyword here. When I am unprepared, I do not know what's going on. And, other than the hesitation or laziness to know, why else am I unprepared? Because I do not question. Because I do not listen. Because it is, that specific knowledge is the background chaos for me. I do not care therefore, I do not ask. And I show up-- on the day of the exam--unprepared.  Where am I going with this blabbering of questions, unpreparedness, and exams? Life. Love. Spirituality. If you have clicked this post and decided to read it, you are already well aware of the fact that I love discussions. I love talking about things that are 'background chaos.' The topics we consi
