Absurd Desire
Published on Wednesday, October 15th, 2008
He renounced all worldly desire to pursue a life of staunch austerities, meditation and prayer. He wanted to attain the state of Nirvana, or liberation from the cycle of birth and death. For years, he wandered in jungles, survived the vagaries of nature, meditated in caves, and transcended mountains and crossed valleys, and yet he could not attain primordial bliss.
He was born again and again to pursue a life that craved for Nirvana. His only folly was that he could not liberate himself from the strong desire to attain salvation! His desire continued to bind him to the cycle of birth and rebirth.

Some might say, they are looking for true meaning and purpose of life but in that quest when they finally realise the purpose they hav already wasted the time in the quest to fulfill their purpose. I dont know if I am making any sense. But you have written makes so much sense.:-)
