Moment by moment, the body is wearing away, and old age is asserting itself. Bhagat Kabeer

In the light of death as our inevitable destiny, a few important questions arise if we wish to be honest about our life.
What is the most important and essential purpose to my life?
Why am I here?
Who am I?
What is my origin?
Take a moment now, and ask yourself, do you really know who you are?
Not just the layers of our conditioning, your profession, race, gender, ethnicity, social status and your name.
You may wish to make a note of this, write down your answers as freely and honestly as possible.
Now sitting in a relaxed position, close your eyes and draw a white circle on a dark background in your "minds eye". – Who is looking?
From this simple experiment you would have realized that you have at least two components to your life, an external life and a subjective one, conscious or aware of yourself!
Knowing death as our certainty brings us to the essence of our existence, simply to know who we are! Self-definition is not how "others" define us, but experiencing our own essential nature.
