At the Roots of Existence
Nietze's words are : “Man cannot live without lies.” The basis of this statement is psychology. Do you know what a lie is? Man is not a lie. Man is the truth. He is the supreme truth of existence.
Existence, whatever it be, is complete in itself. Numberless glaciers, planets, galaxy of stars and elements like the sky are but the manifestations of existence. Just look at the perfection of existence : When a child takes birth it comes along with the provision of milk. Before the blooming of flowers the thorns become posted as their body-guards. The sun and the moon are always on the move to maintain the balance between coolness and heat. The time-cycle of birth and death continues incessantly, and yet neither a single bead becomes less nor a single head increases. The number of people dying equals the number of people being born, or you may also say the vice-versa. The completeness of the cosmos can not be challenged.
Existence is complete. The truth is that every person is a complete existence in himself. He possesses limitless energy. His vastness then attains its original form when, in course of his nonstop journey of life, annihilates his infatuation for all the materialistic constituents and towards materialistic objects. Meditation helps in this. As such, in order to enter a new life, the irrelevances over-shadowing life, have to be brought to the door of death. This vision of the conscious energy is the beginning of a joy-riding beyond mortality.
We have to move in the very roots of existence. Existence, whatever, it be, is real. Each one among us is an independent existence. Every existence has an originality of its own. Every
