Lehangooga and I : The reality
1)Who/what is Lehangooga?
2)How is the above question related to the ultimate question?
Let's make an honest attempt to answer these two very important and fundamental questions.
Shall we start first from the ultimate question?Well, the ultimate question has always been simple... "What is all this?"
All the philosophers over the past thousands of years who have landed on this crazy planet in the sub-urbs of our Average Joe galaxy have tried to answer this simple question.
What the heck is all this?
There seems to be some hidden deliberateness in why we don't generally ask this question. It is as though we are being cheated. We were programmed to "generally" not ask such things. Then why do a strange few spend their whole lifetimes searching the answer?
After getting so fine-tuned to getting up in the morning, having a cup of coffee and heading to the office , why should one ask the question? Well, the ones who actually search the answer will ask you back-First of all, why are you getting up every morning and rushing to your office?
YOU are leading your life, YOU are going to your office, YOU are working. Well, what the heck is all this? Why is all this happening?What am I? Why can I think?
A group of people were thrown onto an island. There were a lot of pebbles and lots of paper cups in the island. Soon, people got used to the island by putting the pebbles in the cups and then throwing them back and picking up another pebble and so on. A strange few however, reclined themselves to finding out where was it that they were thrown. When these people asked the rest of them why they were playing with the cups, they found it to be a strange thing to ask. Are you crazy? What do you mean why? This is me, this is what I do, this is how I live. I put pebbles in papercups. They also shot them with a barrage of other questions like- why are you not putting pebbles in papercups? How do you think you can live by not putting pebbles in papercups? why do you search for the answers for questions which cant be answered?And so on...
