Purpose

Each day I feel like I am not making the most of my life, I am not doing something for which I was designed, and I am missing on the most important aspect of my life. of all the given luxuries in my life, I feel like I am wasting them, My youth, My efforts, and my soul. Ever since I read Victor Frankl’s “Man Search for Meaning”, I am consistently In a quest for searching my meaning of life.
I personally Believe that the Lord who is the light of the Heavens and the Earth Molded us to serve him, and we can only serve him in the best way if we fulfill our purpose of life, and if we don’t there is no salvation for us. People that knew their Purpose of life, they lived the life at ease because their hearts were at peace knowing that in the Kingdom come they will be elevated for living their life with a purpose. For all I know is that I can’t stop my self from quoting the glorious verses (ayats) from the Quran that has touched my Life.

“Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day are signs for those of understanding. Who remember Allah while standing or sitting or [lying] on their sides and give thought to the creation of the heavens and the earth, [saying], “Our Lord, You did not create this aimlessly; exalted are You [above such a thing]; then protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” (Surah Al-Imran 190-191)

These Ayats also moved Prophet Mohammad Pbuh in awe of its nature, When these were revealed at Mohammad Pbuh he was lost in the glory of these ayats and he, after the ayats were revealed, had to offer prayers to the God as a sign of Gratitude for revealing the words of eternal wisdom on to him. So coming back to where I was, these ayats have two keywords of my interest, One is salvation and the other is the Purpose. Only through fulfilling our purpose we can achieve our Salvation.

Each one of us is created to serve a special Purpose Because God doesn’t create anything aimlessly. Each one of us in unique and Special in two ways, One the God created him and molded him in his image and the second one is God has created each one of us with a special Purpose. Some of my friends have found their meaning of life in Photography, Some in Graffiti and Murals, Some in Art and Painting, Some in football, Some in Love but as for me, I Still Haven’t Found What I am looking for.

I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields

I have run, I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls

But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for.
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for.

I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
(I was) burning inside her.

I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone.

But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for.
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for.

I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one.
But yes, I’m still running.

But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for.
But I still haven’t found
What I’m looking for.

BTW if you have found your Meaning of Life, please do share it with me, I will love to read about your Special purpose of life and maybe it gets me inspired to find me mine 🙂
(Note: The Lyrics I shared above are from the U2 Song, I still haven’t found What I am looking for, released in 1987)

I’m Inspired by my own imaginative character “Bholla ” ( “Naive ” in English ) that may existed or exists or will exist. Some one from the rural cultures of Pakistan. A guy who is not so highly educated, can only read and write,Knowledge so little yet enough to make him find his Creator. A soft heart and a true lad who is not a racist.His folks are what you may call in Urdu as ” Dehati ” Mother is a religious woman and Dad is an honest person. In the Village every one calls the lad from his nickname “Bholla ” because he never deceives any one,never tells a lie and because of these characteristics he is a loner. I haven’t figured out his real name yet. If you guys can help me in naming that guy I will be humbled.

Bholla has a good hold on playing flute, he can climb trees, an obedient son and helps his neighbors.He plays “Goli Danda ” its an economic form of Cricket or Baseball. He is almost 20.He once loved Some one but being Poverty-Stricken he couldn’t afford to marry the one he loved and she got married else where to an Elite class person.class.So he migrated from “Eshqe-Majazi” to “Ehsq-e Haqiqi”. Bholla likes to be in state of seclusion while sitting on the highest branch of the tree, he always give a thought to his existence, his purpose and the purpose of everything around him. I havent figured out how many siblings does he have or he posses none . I will be writing this in “Urdu” and “English” .So it will be my 1st time im writing a serial thing and im trying to write it in urdu.
