The unanswered questions of existence – the sense of being
That sense of being, which makes a sapling bloom like a flower, If that is its dharam [1] ; then the seed can’t do anything else; but grow up to be a tree! That existence consciousness that illuminates every man and woman with truth, beauty, and bliss of humanity, if that exists in you too then why does not your dharam of being a human, make you human? That is the question every child caught up in war, violence, and abuse, Asks of humanity! And humanity, ashamed, cannot even answer a simple question, Why is it that every child, as is its dharam to grow up, does not! [1] Dharam is the intrinsic motivation, like a duty, to realise one's potential, to be what one is supposed to be.
