    About this ebook

    "This book is my attempt to communicate with the world, the philosophy and thought process which saved and guided me over the years from influences which only intend to confuse the world.
    As per my perspective, the very nature of this world is being objective, i.e. it doesn't hide its truths if we are just able to rise above our stereotypes and preconceptions.
    Someone has rightly said that 'if you wanted to keep your feet clean, you should be covering your own feet instead of trying to cover the whole earth'. Learning from this, instead of trying to recognise and bust every myth and misconception, I'll be approaching the problem by presenting a different perspective, which may help my reader to see the things as they are.
    I urge your trust in me that this book, with its minimum words and simple language will change your way of seeing everything. With the newly attained ability to see the objective reality, I believe, everyone can find internal strength and a peaceful thought process." - Author 

    I think, the best way to describe this book would be to provide a small portion of the acknowledgement.
    Acknowledgement-
    "In a world where information is abundant but wisdom seems scarce, I felt compelled to weave together ancient concepts with modern examples and logic. My purpose of writing has been only to give some perspective to the modern world where everything seems to go upside done in terms of spiritual and ethical growth.
    Our modern era, with its relentless pursuit of materialism and its casual acceptance of greed and violence, has led our moral compass astray. It's a world where misinformation proliferates, nurturing the seeds of greed and selfishness, which, in turn, give rise to the pervasive ailments of our time—anxiety and depression.
    It is my earnest hope that this book, in its own humble way, can be a beacon of enlightenment, gently guiding us back towards a more balanced and compassionate existence. While most content is being curated to provoke people's emotions, I intend to provoke thought, regarding the direction we are taking ourselves."

      Hey fellow explorers, before we go further, it’s a good idea to discuss how this book came into existence.

      Being a curious admirer of philosophy and science, my journey has always involved seeking logical reasons behind everything, and this book is one such attempt only.

      I don’t claim to understand anything about philosophy here at the beginning, but as we go through the pages, we’ll see that our understanding of the subject grows.

      The book is planned in such a way that we won’t be establishing anything without testing through logic, and for that to happen, we have to first imagine that we don’t know anything in advance. In this way we would be able to set aside our prior preconceptions and cultivate a fresh perspective.

      I would suggest my readers to go through the book in chronological order when reading for the first time. For those who are revising for a deeper understanding, I’ve put a link at the end of every chapter which will take you back to the contents, and from there, you can navigate to any chapter, using the clickable headings.

      Introduction

      Welcome to a journey of exploration and self-discovery. In the pages that follow, we will embark on a quest to uncover the profound answers to some of life's most fundamental questions. This book is our voyage into the depths of our existence, seeking to reveal the very essence of our being.

      Our purpose here is simple yet profound: to delve into the mysteries that have intrigued humanity for centuries. We will traverse the winding pathways of philosophy, spirituality, and introspection to gain insight into the core questions that define our existence.

      As we ponder the meaning of our existence, we will explore questions such as: What is the significance of our inner selves and the consequences of our actions? What happens when we depart from this world? How can we find a sense of connection to the universe? What defines our individuality, and how does it shape our experiences? How can we bridge the realms of science and personal growth? What does it truly mean to be virtuous and compassionate? How can we cultivate inner tranquillity and balance in a world often filled with chaos?

      These questions serve as the compass points of our journey, guiding us through the uncharted waters of existence. Along the way, we will encounter ancient wisdom, modern insights, and personal reflections that will illuminate the path before us.

      This is not a book of religious doctrine, but is a celebration of the human spirit's unquenchable thirst for understanding and meaning. It is an invitation to explore the boundless realms of thought, philosophy, and personal development, all while maintaining a language that is accessible, relatable, and engaging.

      As we embark on this intellectual and spiritual adventure, let us cast aside preconceptions and open our minds to the infinite possibilities that await. Together, let us journey into the heart of existence, where the profound answers to life's deepest questions reside, waiting to be uncovered and embraced.

      ***** End of Chapter *****

      Finding Meaning and Purpose

      Our universe is huge . So huge, that its size is impossible to be contemplated with human abilities, because even if we reach the end of universe, there still will be questions such as: what contains the universe and what would that containing space be called, and where will that end?

      In such a large universe, we live on the skin of a planet, so small, that it isn’t even visible from a few solar systems away. The lifespan of this universe is unimaginable and there are various theories regarding its birth. While some say, it happened through big bang, others believe in steady state. In truth, all theories are just postulates, i.e. someone’s imagination until proven wrong. Even if we believe that our universe has a finite lifespan, then too, that finite time would be so much that on an astronomical time scale, the lifespan of any living being is smaller than an instance, and is of little value.

      Now even though our bodies have such instantaneous lifespans, still we ourselves don’t feel so insignificant, and it is a valid wondering that, if we are so insignificant, why we even live! Why do we even have the awareness of this universe! It’s a thought that we must have some more value than this body of ours, which is of insignificant size and life in this universe.

      If our existence was only limited to our bodies, then we are definitely not the most important species alive, since we are not even able to appreciate the scale of this universe! This makes me think that, life in material form is not as significant as we imagine it to be. There must be some bigger meaning to our existence.

      In the web of life, we often find ourselves chasing after an array of goals. We aspire to receive a decent education, secure a stable job, own a comfortable home, attain financial stability, find a loving partner, raise a family, and perhaps even revel in the joy of seeing our grandchildren grow. These are the milestones that society has etched into the very fabric of our existence, forming the fundamental building blocks of our lives. They are, in many ways, the bare minimum that we hope to achieve.

      It's difficult to envision a life devoid of these essential elements, for they provide us with a sense of structure and purpose. These milestones are, quite literally, the bread and butter of our existence. But, can we call our life
