What is Life - is it a experience of a given moment or is it the whole journey from birth to death , is it a emotion or a image of a special event , is it only a attachment to one's body or is it the very action that comes out from the body. This and many such questions always come to my mind as I try to find meaning for this word. No doubt it is God's most treasured creation and especially so if you think of a human life form.
In my current state of understanding ''Life has a meaning only if it can offer a value for others else the journey is meaningless ".
Collected below are the view points of some of the great souls , personalities and leaders on what they view as 'Life'
Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!
Look to this Day!
For it is Life, the very Life of Life.
In its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence.
The Bliss of Growth,
The Glory of Action,
The Splendor of Beauty;
For Yesterday is but a Dream,
And To-morrow is only a Vision;
But To-day well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,
And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.
Look well therefore to this Day!Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!
- Kalidasa
Where there is love there is life - Mohandas K. Gandhi
