Meaning of life – literally – We all have the logos (meaning of life), but are we using it properly?

What is the meaning of life? We all have the logos (meaning of life), but are we using it properly? The sword of wisdom that kills and awakens life at the same time. The very own Excalibur. We don't look for the meaning of life, we use it constantly, but we are not aware of it. Therefore, the crucial question is: what is meaningful for my life?

Happiness - Responsibility

The pursuit of happiness is an endless whirlpool between the body and mind. I have a mind and a body, but I'm not the body and mind. I am in it but not bound by it.

Telos

What is the purpose? Because we no longer know where we belong to, we are internally scattered into a thousand pieces. But without a purpose, even the words have no meaning in reality. The action is divided from the words.

 

Contemplation - Meaning of Life

I am alone, a sage. I have studied little, but my teachings are excellent. Because I see the suffering, I am steadfast in my desire for liberation. I sleep little and am persistent in meditation. Understanding one thing, I am adept at all; understanding everything, I realize that everything is of one nature. I am familiar with the real sense. Despite my small bunk, I can stretch and draw my legs comfortably; despite my thin clothes, my body is warm; even though i eat little, my stomach feels full.  (A Sage)

Your fundamental task is not that of trying in various ways to make things easier for you. If you intend to cultivate the mind, then you have to practice meditation. Yet, even though you try, the meditation may not seem to progress. So you must remind yourself of the need to do such practice. In this way you will be able to check and control the distracted thoughts which pull you away from the meditation.
