The Music of the Universe : When the whole world is enlightened, each creature, including human , would make a unique and beautiful sound and in which the entire universe makes a beautiful music!!! and the music will be in perfect harmony.
The last: I am not quite sure about enlightenment, I thought it was wonderful but now I think its just a bullshit idea. The nature of every person is his past moments, past experiences - for the person , like I am, I spent most of my time thinking, thinking , thinking about the ultimate truth. I never found one , and will not find any in future too. There is no ultimate truth in Life. I like reading about Philosophy (study or science of finding truths?! ) and Philosophers. I enjoyed it very much, It brought so many thoughts to my mind, sometimes, they never let me sleep. Recently, I learnt that 'Philosophy' is just bullshit, Philosophers never had a day job - they never acted - they only thought - thought about so many things , and gave lectures, and talks and thats all, they could do. They were addicted to thinking. I know from my own experience, that 'Philosophy' is dangerous, thinking is okay if you have a problem at hand but If one simply lets his/her mind wander - it triggers a chain of thoughts that never ends - it always resumes when the mind is idle again. I have lost so may lively moments because of those thoughts. At the same time,it is also not possible to have a thought-less mind, so that is okay. When one is doing something,one should let his/her mind focus on what he/she is doing - that is "living the moment" or "enlightenment' to me.
I was almost addicted to reading philosophy and quotes, these days , I have reduced a lot, I just couldn't bear more thoughts in my mind - it started aching,truly, period.Later, I thought, "Creations - especially from 'Art' side were always meant for entertainment or for time-pass - why should someone take them seriously?" and so tried to avoid, reading, writing and watching , listening to music - It was a very dull life , then I realized , i had already fallen in love for the creations - no matter how insignificant they are - they make happy - I just got to balance it. So these days, I neither have the "purpose of Life" question nor do I think too much about Philosophy. My Philosophy now is - "Listen to the Heart because your heart knows it and be at the moment, and learn" - whats your philosophy? now ?
Who wants enlightenment? let us be human, thats what I try to do, and sometimes fail. In this thoughtful journey, I found U G Krishnamurti very helpful , who wanted to witness enlightenment but was never able to and said "Tell them , there is nothing to understand".
Serenity & Harmony - Thanks to Wikiquote and all the great people whose intelligence is now part of mine.

The idea of enlightened existence -2
Note : This series (1-3) has got serious philosophical content and may influence the reader very deeply. I wish you only consider reading this as for time-pass or for an entertainment.The conclusion is in the 3rd part.
Living is Learning and Loving
"Learning", by itself is never perfect or complete, its a process that never ends. The process of learning is perfect only when we do it freely.Free from past, future and free from failures and free from everything except the thing that is being learnt.When we learn, we find truths and those are our happiness.So when one starts living every moment, the learning never stops and the journey of Life is joyous than ever.If you are learning something or in the middle of learning something and you love it while doing, you are living.
Living the moment?
When one starts living every moment,Learning is a bliss.Life too.Living every moment is difficult - because the body does something and the mind thinks something.When the coordination between the mind and the body drops, the concentration drops.Doing is an action and thinking is a thought.The first attributes to the body and the second attributes to the Mind.The drop of concentration doesn't mean that one should never think, when thinking is the action (Of all the actions, thinking is also an action ), think well.After you have thought about it,and when one acts on it, one should just act , the mind just gives commands and observes whether the body is doing right or wrong - thats how this truth came - "Think before you act".When the mind observes what the body does,it doesn't travel in the past or in the future. Only, the mind, can be in the past and in the future and the body can never be.This requires a lot of practice, playing games will definitely help - in general - any physical activity that is observed by the mind will increase the concentration power and would help people to live in the moment.When living the moment has become an habit, people accept the situation as it is and accept people as they are. Fear, Anger, Hatred,Jealousy will vanish.
Enlightenment?
When this learning , living happens with intense love - man ends up finding different dimensions and feel the joy every moment of Life.When one learns the systems around and within, and in that process, one understands/learns the fellow human and fellow creatures and the entire universe.When that happens,one realizes he/she is part of it anyway.It is this intense learning that makes the human accept the situation as it is and people as they are - and makes him to think and do what is required now?with that state of body,mind and soul one thinks every life on the planet is as equal as his/hers is and makes him a "universal human being" - not belonging to any particular country,religion. When that happens - the purpose of Life automatically happens within you - one finds what he/she should do now? Buddha , Lao Tzu and so many others walked on this planet as enlightened ones. After enlightenment, their purpose was always "to influence the lives of others positively - that is to bring success and joy to them". Even this is cyclic, Only if you are joyful,you can impart this into others. (This whole thought and learning of enlightenment was from the Isha Inner Engineering program that I attended recently (No Idea why attended?! - may be because , I wanted to practice waking up early in the morning because the classes were early in the morning )- especially - this concept of compassionate consideration for fellow creatures but I had already thought that "influencing others' life positively would be the ultimate motive for any human - see "The Purpose of Life" )

The idea of enlightened existence -1
Note : This series (1-3) has got serious philosophical content and may influence the reader very deeply. I wish you only consider reading this as for time-pass or for an entertainment.The conclusion is in the 3rd part.
It all starts with Life and living it - The Purpose of Life.Recent days, I generate thousands of thoughts everyday.With the continuous bombardment of thoughts in the mind, I am beginning to understand few things and I can experience that it makes me happy.
Learning
When it comes to nature,It is always cyclic or anything that is cyclic is natural.Man's intelligence comes from his learning, learning from his experiences.Experiences that he or the universe exposes himself to the systems around and within.The Learning starts from understanding the senses of the body - Eg: "fire is hot , do not touch it". The human body being the most complex system in the world - starts our learning process early in our lives.In the process of learning,we find few truths - Eg: "fire is hot , do not touch" and so on.The truth, that an individual finds, is a truth to that particular individual based on his/her learning ability and depending on the exposure. We accept something as truth, if it is a convincing statement, by our own experience and our understanding of that experience.So, each one of us finds truths in our lives.one after the other, the search keeps going on to find the ultimate, the desire or urge to express, all truths as a single truth, which is eternal and composes every other truth.The truth to someone might not be a truth to someone else, but there are some truths which are universal, which means the experience , from which each of us found the truth was experienced exactly the same way. As there are universal truths, there are universal questions too - like - is God there? is Fate there? - the purpose of Life ? and so on. As long as these questions remain in us, the search for the answers continues - the search for the truths continue. This process of pursuing the truths after truth continues by loving the things that are being learnt till the death.
Truth
The truth is a convincing statement or a convincing answer to a question. The very nature of the truth , especially, the universal truths - is, it reveals itself somehow, naturally, or using the elements of the nature - like for example - Human Mind is an element of nature.Every noble creation has such universal truth as the core of it - and that must have been the only possible reason that it is available & well-received in the first place. The creation is just a manifestation of a truth, that the creator has found in his/her process of learning something.Finding a truth is a joy - one cannot comprehend it intellectually but only experientially.
Intelligence
When the process of learning continues, creations happen.Creations - Art and Science make people joyous if it has a truth in it.Any Creation which has a universal truth as a core of it - will definitely be well-received.When the accumulation of truths happen, you acquire intelligence.The intelligence is from learning the systems around and within, and finding a truth after truth.The systems, Natural and Artificial, distinctly creates, Natural intelligence and Artificial intelligence. The Artificial intelligence - the intelligence you acquire out of systems that man made after curiously learning the natural systems around him over the period of time.In essence,its just a subset of the Natural intelligence. These two intelligences, when it is very well seasoned, becomes our Intuitive intelligence - which means, we learn, understand and find the truth,just by looking at it.Eg: Every person that we meet has got a unique gait, from which we can learn the person.Learning is different from judging.By Learning,we accept people as they are.

Your dream will come true
Even if the entire universe is against , if you stand erect and strong for the purpose , with your values , your dream will come true and when you win you will chuckle not because you won but because you did what you wanted to do.
The Purpose of Life
This has been the most thought question in everyone’s Life. The Objective and the purpose of Life. I thought about it when i was five. I was scared that i would die in some years. I was scared that i will have no one to talk to , I will have nothing to smile about , I will have nothing to dream about. I was more scared about to be hanging in space like other objects in the space. The earth , mars , sun , moon etc. I decided not be as a normal person. I did not want to die just as a son of my parents. I wanted to be different ever since i thought about it and I am trying at it every second of my Life.
The more I think about the purpose of Life , I get no convincing answers. The science and spiritual explanations from different philosophers seemed convincing but not for a long time. Actually there is no purpose of Life. It was tough to live without a purpose and without a convincing answer for this question. Is it to witness Love ? Is it to earn money ? Is it to be famous ? Is it to be respected as a good man ? – No.I do not know.
At last, The Only purpose that i was convinced was – to achieve a state at which one does not have fear to do the things one wants to.Be it singing in the street louder or to make a talk to a stranger.To evolve as a better human being day by day in all aspects. To influence others’ Life positively.To make a mark in other people’s Life – not for the recognition but for one’s own satisfaction. To work for one’s own dreams.
