A lot of people never stop and think. Life is always pushing and they just keep afloat. I stopped twice in my life so far. The first time it was for about two years, when I kept on questioning anything and everything. I turned my whole world upside down and struggled with grasping a strong sense of identity. I came out of that session with a few realizations, although most of my questions remain unanswered.
Looking back, I can see now that I have already started to forget a lot of the lessons I uncovered for myself in that break. I have experimented a little and came out alive. I now have greater appreciation for the path rather than the prize, because conscious experience happens on the path, so most of my feelings — happiness, sadness, anger and joy are married with the path.
But there is an emptiness that keeps pushing my soul to look deeper inside. So this is a time for further introspection.
