Life, oh life, what are you trying to tell me?

"Main hu manzil,
main to safar bhi,
main hi musafir hu,
main hi musafir hu!" (Hindi)

This is one of the most soulful songs I have ever heard. Translated, it means:
I am the destination,
I am the journey,
I am also the traveller,
I am also the traveller.

The more I learn from life, the deeper my conviction grows that we are already where we are supposed to be. Enlightenment is not in the future, it is not a destination we constantly struggle to reach. It is in the here and now. Thank you Eckhart Tolle, for expressing such deep wisdom in so simple a language.

When Meerabai sang, I was,
When Buddha taught, I was,
When Mahavir walked, I was,
When Jesus suffered, I was,
I, the eternal witness, was, am, will be.
