Ignite the hunger for knowledge

Ignite the hunger for knowledge - Sadhguru

THERE ARE so many things that one can do in this world -walk, swim, dance, gossip, love, drink... And yet, for ages why is it that human beings have longed for something beyond all these? When you are struggling for survival this longing fades, but the moment your stomach is full, once again it starts. If you and your body were indestructible, this longing would not have risen.
Every day, you may not be conscious about death, but with a slightest provocation you become conscious of it. For example, someone you love went out and did not come back at the appointed time.
You would start thinking "What could've happened?" Did s/he fall dead somewhere?
That's the last thing. In between, there is injury, pain, disease. "What could have happened?" is just a reminder. We often think that we have a wonderful life. We live with many thoughts and emotions, but little do we realise that one day it's going to wane. The human nature is unwilling to accept this truth. Some people say there is something beyond death.Others say there is nothing while some say that you will land up in the lap of God.

Since time immemorial, people have been arguing but without any conclusion. People have propounded every kind of answer they could think of, yet it has not solved anything because this is the trick. It doesn't matter for how long you slow down, but when the moment of death comes, suddenly you know that you know nothing about life or death.
