Epiphany: ‘You are caught in a wrong milieu’

All the souls are in search of beatitude. Being the infinitesimal element of the infinite ocean of bliss, it is an innate endeavor of every soul to seek beatitude. As we are caged in this material construct, our thirst for such a divine bliss cannot be satiated by worldly happiness. The joy and pleasure of material world is only a cosmetic measure. It is just a band aid fix to a much deeper yearning for divinity.

Whether we realize it or not, all our material possessions and achievement lend us happiness, a happiness which is fleeting. Sooner or later, to our utter dismay, it strikes that all such material sources of pleasure have their limitations. The happiness we hanker for soon turns out to be our biggest source of misery and bondage.

I have been looking for the wrong stuff”. At that moment of epiphany, a series of enigma unfolds. The search for truth begins and it will take you to a journey within. The destination will be another realm where you will realize that till now have been caught in a wrong milieu.

Such a ship can at best traverse a cyclic path having just a parochial view of vast ocean of reality.
