What is life? [2]
Continued from: What is life? [1]
As part of it, we respect the Nature. The nature of Nature is "giving" by getting what it gets from surrounding. It gives to everyone without any discrimination. It gives equal and of same quality and try to fulfill others' needs. What you get is what you want, not more and not less. So, I look at myself as part of this Nature and try making my attitude and nature according to Nature.
Nature shows me the way I should live, means giving. Give to your surrounding what you can (should) give. I think of myself as a tree, which gives shadow, a safe place for nest, beautiful holes for squirrels to make its home, a power to sand to hold itself, strong but flexible stems for animals to play and joy, beautiful and soft leaves to become food for insects, sweet and sour fruits, fresh air to breathe. All this for cost of nothing. It just gives and tries to stand with its duties no matter what are the circumstances, whether it is a drought, flood or autumn. It just gives, whatever it can, to all.
I see life as a part of nature, part of this cycle, nothing else. I have to reach nowhere, I have to achieve nothing, there is nothing like a 'Aim', it is all about giving. I try to live like that. I just do my duties. I just do what should I do as part of this cycle. This is the meaning of life.

Tejinder ..This article sounds good BUT I think you think too much. Dnt think too forwrd. Just Live in Present and you will then guess somthing about LIFE. Why you are going to Future.
Howdy bro!!

I myself believe that we have a purpose here to unite ourselves with our true essence – our spirit inside us. Gurbani gives us support and direction and purifies our mind. Everything is temporary – so we can only rely on the shabad the waheguru. By meditating on Waheguru during our working hours and remembering Him all the time we will see the truth behind everything. The only thing that is true and will always remain is God. He is our true mother and father, our husband and friend. All success, business, children, houses, wealth and enjoyments are but transistory and will cause us much pain if we see them as real. When we understand that they are temporary then we don't get attached to them – we accept things as they are and we live in Hukham. All is about Prem for God and his children.
