Finding One’s Way

It is a universal trait of sentient beings to not know where we are going or what we are doing. If we knew where we were heading, we’d most definitely change course and tread the path of liberation, ultimate freedom.

There are naturally varying degrees of blindness among the different classes of cyclic beings. But it is due to our blindness that we keep wandering lost in cyclic existence.

To gain some clarity, it is essential to analyse what we have been doing and its outcomes; that will open our eyes a little bit to our current trajectory.

We can look into how much we have improved or deteriorated in our current situation, occupation, etc. If we see that we haven’t improved and the prospects of our present trajectory are not good, that will spur us on to find a new and better path and situation.
