The journey starts from ‘I’, as various ego identifications, and gets completed when we realize ourselves- as we truly are. It starts when the soul after coming from the Spirit, starts its outward journey in the illusionary materialistic world. During the journey, juggling through the maze of Maaya- illusions, it forgets its true identity and starts assuming many false identifications with name, fame, forms, caste, color, status, etc. But a stage comes when not getting permanent happiness, after suffering in many incarnations, a spiritual awakening comes. We- the individual souls then start looking for spiritual direction. We shift focus and start our inward journey looking for The Spirit- our own true identity. This book describes in detail the whole journey and how it matters to us. Various Questions about life then start emerging. A small voice within begins to question: Who am I? who is God? why God made the world? what is my relationship with God? what is the purpose of my creation? Who am I and why do I matter? The Search for the meaning of life thus begins. These questions appear quite often in our lifetime but we turn away from them. There are many moments we are provoked to ask these. We feel since childhood, a vague nostalgia for more, a divine longing. In many ways, it is the central struggle of every human life. And whether you are 7 or 70 or someplace in between, you need to know these. This book came to life when in one of my meditation classes, I was asked to answer the question of who I am- the most profound and deepest question of all the time; the first question in all philosophies. Sometimes we avoid discovering what we are. It is mainly because inquiring earnestly could mean the death of something we hold onto, like the idea we have of ourselves, the personality, ego, and all that comes with it. Though it took around 60 days to complete this book, it contains 60 years of my introspection on these soul-searching questions. I have tried to share my knowledge on these questions in a very simple structured way, with a number of examples, stories, poems, experiments, inferred deductions, and Vedic explanations., The book will surely attract sufficient attention and stretch of mind in certain places to understand the subtle subject. After realization, the journey gets completed and the soul merges back with the spirit from which it came. We feel oneness with God and everything. This journey normally is a very long one, involving many incarnations with all the pains and pleasures which life throws before us. But as the masters say, we can complete the journey in one lifetime, reaching the ultimate realization called Nirvana, Moksha. In that stage, as Vivekananda says, “I has all become and all is I. Oneness in all beings. All beings in self and self in all beings”. That is freedom from suffering and sorrow. Journey with me, know about you and find the purpose of life. The journey through this book will transform you from a limited ‘I’ to an infinite Self. You are already that. The book will bring up to your active awareness the things you already knew deep within but have forgotten now.
