The Perfect Escape

Searching, the whole world seems to be searching for an answer. We try drugs, drink, music, sex, sport, nationalism, altruism or many other ism's, so many ism's. The plain fact of the matter is that no matter how much time, effort and money we apply to creating our identity, aligning our id to a transitory fellowship, be it team, familial, country or intellectual, we can not escape the gnawing voice that calls louder and louder the longer our temporal alliance goes on......." I am not satisfied, I want more, there must be more, there must be more, there must be? "

So we plough on deeper and deeper into our chosen escape only to find that it takes more and more from us until we eventually become numb, worn and battered by the material experiences of our so called modern life. Our expectations lower, but the yearning is still there, looking for the perfect escape. Calling from deep within the heart, searching still, always searching.

 

Convinced by an unimaginable cycle of births and deaths we search for the satisfaction of the soul in the material. The dichotomy of our existence, a brazen hint to the reason we do not feel a lasting pleasure from the temporary. Could it be that we have been searching in the wrong place all this time!!

 

The logic of the Bhagavad Gita as it is by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada points out the very simple and obvious nature of our problems........ As purely spiritual beings, eternal and full of bliss how can we possibly expect to be satisfied by the dualities of the temporary, material existence? The Bhagavad Gita goes on to explain that only when we start to search inwardly, not towards the material but toward the path of self realisation, can we truly begin to find satisfaction. Acting again on the platform of the soul rather than from the misconception that we are this material body. After all this illusory construct has served us ill so far. Time for a change, time for a revolution in consciousness. Time for the perfect escape.
