Love is the only thing that is really precious.All else is mundane, worldly…Love is sacred because it is through love that one attains to prayer…It is through love that one creates the bridge between oneself and god.It is through love that we become aware that life is tremendously significant, meaningful.Without love life is empty, meaningless.In fact, absurd.Without love there is no reason to live ..Why? For what? One of the greatest existential philosophers, Marcel, used to say that the most important problem in life is suicide.Why not commit suicide? He used to think that ..that was the most important thing to be decided. Existentialists think that it is just because of our cowardliness that we go on living And they are right,..About ninety-nine point nine per cent of people.It is simply because of cowardliness.That people go on dragging.They have no meaning in their life,..But they are also afraid of death.Who knows? -- it may be even worse. At least life seems to be familiar.And we are not alone: So many fools are all around.The ship of life is full of fools. And there is so much hustle and bustle, And so much occupation that one tends to forget all real problems of life.Small problems are so many, Daily, routine problems are so many…How to manage bread and butter.And how to manage the ordinary life -- And lifes ordinary challenges are so many that..There is no time left to think about whether life has any meaning or not. Thats why poor people have no problem as far as meaning is concerned. It is only the rich people..Who start thinking about..what the meaning of life is.It is the rich countries for whom the problem becomes really big...The richer a country becomes, The more and more people start thinking…What is the meaning of it all? Hence I perfectly agree with Marcel:Suicide is one of the greatest problems,,,But only one; the second problem which is even bigger than suicide..Is sannyas. And one has to choose between the two: Either suicide or sannyas. Suicide is simply stupid. Sannyas is the art of transforming your life from meaninglessness into meaning. It gives dance to your life,It changes your life Into Immeasurable joy, unaccountable bliss.
