Today, I look at people, and I see a world flooded with expression. Everyone is constantly in conversations and sharing content and impressions on social media. The information is endless, and yet, the more we talk, the more we discover the same inner void. Our entire existence today emphasizes the meaninglessness of the ways in which we currently live our lives.
Such a feeling is not feeling. We have filled our lives with an endless stream of tiny pleasure shots to constantly distract us from a bigger existential void. That is why many people sink into apathy, not wanting to move when they wake up, with no goal, flavor, or meaning to inspire them.
Yet, precisely this time is the one where something greater must emerge. Now is the time to realize that our life, as it is, has no meaning. It is a necessary realization, because only when emptiness engulfs our sensation can we begin to ask sincerely: “Where is there any meaning?”
Initially, the answer is that there is none. That is, there is no meaning in the usual places we look. It is neither in careers, entertainment, or in personal achievements. The meaning of life is not hidden inside our egoistic world. It is rather above our world.
If we want to feel alive, to wake up in the morning with a feeling that something ignites us from within, then we need to seek what governs this reality we are in. There is nature, which is vast, immense, and intelligent, and there is a thought behind it, a design and intention.
This thought is the governing force that sets nature in motion, and which sustains life at every level: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human. The meaning of life is in discovering that thought, understanding the intention that is behind everything we experience.
This is not a call to become scientists in the usual sense. We do not need formulas and theories, but we need to open our inner eyes. To sense the reason behind it all. Why was this reality created? What is it moving toward? What is nature trying to tell us?
Nature is pushing us to rise above our world, because this world, as it is now, is the lowest of all possible worlds. To rise above this world means to connect to the intention that created it. To discover the plan, the thought, and the harmonious force that binds everyone and everything.
When we begin to attain that thought, something incredible happens. We begin to feel reality beyond time and space. We start to live at the level of life’s source, similar to how nature itself operates.
What is that thought at its essence? It is one of absolute harmony among all parts of creation. That is what we lack, and it is what nature is leading us to, whether we want it or not.
And as destructive as we become, we cannot completely destroy ourselves. Nature will not let us forgo what it has in store for us. Sooner or later, we will have to wake up to our inner calling and attain the harmony it has planned for us to attain. That is the meaning of life. It is what we are here for.
