Make The Best Use of Life

The important point about life is that we have it and therefore we must make the best use of it. This indeed is the great value of life, the opportunity of making the maximum use of it. Many people lead narrow, unhappy and depressed lives because they do not try to make the best use of life; they spend most of their time worrying and struggling for survival, working like slaves, and confronting enormous problems and hindrances. We spend more energy in a battlefield-fighting for survival, fighting for power, fighting for gain, fighting for name, fighting for pleasure and fighting to be free from danger. Occasionally, we do gain a little bit of momentary emotional satisfaction but every pleasure inevitably ends with suffering.

Look at the world, and you can see how people are fighting against each other, bombing, hijacking, and harming one another. The whole world is like a mad house. People have forgotten their good human character and have allowed crookedness, cruelty, cheating, robbing, harbouring of anger, grudge, greed and ignorance to reign over them. Apparently, there is no room in mans's mind to cultivate good thoughts. How then can one find peace, happiness and contentment in a battlefield in which one is continually fighting either for gain or escapism from danger?

Man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn

If you can understand the real nature of life and the world, then you can readily understand why it is absolutely necessary to attain liberation. Heaven and you would not delay your effirt for attainment of this blissful state. Today, you are fighting to escape from suffering through a worldy way, which is a losing battle. However, if you try to get rid of your suffering by developing the spiritual aspect of your life, then you can find real peace.
