After spending a lot of time seeking the roots of life in the Ramakrishna mission , Brahma kumaris, Isha foundation, Art of living, attending Pastor Adrian Rogers and Joel osteen's sermons, after years of trying to look for the kind God, his forgiveness and peace in the holy books of the abrahamic religions, after listening to the logic of violence to attain heaven and its pleasures, one thing we know for sure is that none of us have understood God entirely and are in continuous search of the of God and purpose of life.
The mystery of life and after life will remain a mystery for ever. Even if they have experienced and reached tranquility themselves, the numerous saints , prophets and sages who spent their entire life seeking God and the ultimate truth have not been able to describe God, life or after life. Some concluded that desire, including the desire to know God is the root cause for all suffering, but never could explain the purpose of this life nor help others digest the vastness of infinity or the nothingness of Zero.
What we know for sure is that there is so much of everything we don't know and won't know ever. We should find peace and tranquility in this life amidst the infinite ignorance and unresolvable mystery of the universe.
