OUR TRUE DESIRE OR WHAT LIFE WANTS

OUR TRUE DESIRE OR WHAT LIFE WANTS 


Perhaps the basic unconscious desire of every human being is to forget oneself i.e. extinguishing/annihilating "oneself/one's thoughts" as one is nothing but a bundle of thoughts. 

In a sense coming to the emptiness which is our true nature.


This can be inferred from our various mental and physical activities.


Let me try to explain.


Everyone is engaged in fulfilling his/her desires in waking as well as dreaming state.

In deep sleep state one is not even aware about oneself i.e. the state of complete forgetfulness, as the movement of thoughts which is necessary for being aware, comes to naught.

The same (complete forgetfulness) thing happens in the moment when a desire gets fulfilled (when the movement of thought related to desire comes to naught due to getting fulfilled), but this does not get grasped by the mind as this happens for a fraction of second as there is a chain of desires standing in que for getting fulfilled.

And in this fraction of second we feel a sense of fulfillment/contentment.

This sense of fulfillment/contentment is nothing but "absence of movement of thoughts" or "emptiness" which basically all of us unconsciously desire.
