How often do we pause and ask ourselves the most fundamental questions of human existence?
Who am I?
Where did I come from?
Where will I go after this life ends?
Most people spend their entire lives without ever touching these profound truths.
Not because the questions are unimportant —
but because we are conditioned to avoid them.
We fear asking, because the crowd around us is equally unaware.
We fear thinking deeply, because society encourages us to follow the routine —study, work, earn, struggle, worry, age, and finally disappear…
without ever discovering our true identity.
We inherit beliefs, habits, and behaviors from our surroundings —
not from our inner wisdom.
We let society define us before we ever learn to define ourselves.
But scriptures remind us:
🕉 “The soul is eternal.”
🕉 “We are not this body.”
🕉 “Life is a journey, not the destination.”
And the Bhagavad Gita gently asks us to wake up from this sleep of ignorance:
अविनाशि तु तद्विद्धि येन सर्वमिदं ततम् । (BG 2.17)
“Know that which pervades this entire body is indestructible.”
We are not who the world says we are.
We are not merely our profession, our relationships, or our age.
We are not the person we see in the mirror.
We are the eternal traveller, the conscious soul, on a journey through many lifetimes, learning, evolving, and rediscovering the Divine within.
Our purpose is not just to survive —
but to awaken.
The day we begin asking deeper questions is the day our real life begins.
