Point A, or where I am, was never enough, and I constantly sought a Point B, where I should be, where there will be more money, more comfort, more goodness, more righteousness, and in short, more happiness. When I realized that money and career werent the Point B I was looking for, I came across the supposedly greatest Point B of all, Enlightenment! Nirvana! I became a seeker, traveled to ashrams and monasteries, practiced yoga and meditations, soul-searching travels around 25 countries, all towards the Point B called enlightenment. Until, one day, after 15 years of intense seeking, a simple, direct, and crystal clear recognition dawned in me that Point B is an illusion. A realization that there is nowhere else to go, nothing more to do, the present moment is all there is! Better bank balance may or may not happen, better relationships may or may not happen, better life may or may not happen, but the present moment is all there is. Whether in Chennai, or Paris, or London, or locked up in a toilet, Im always right here. Whether sick, or healthy, or rich, or poor, it is always right now. Only right here and right now exist in the entire universe, ever. Everything else is a story. Enlightenment is not miracles and long dreadlocks. Enlightenment is not smiling blissfully ever after. Enlightenment is a simple recognition that we are already home, right here, right now! There is no Point B.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"notionpress.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45870482391238,"sku":"DADAXB0CZKTZ73H","price":5.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/71jPWdKI1tL.jpg?v=1779455318","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/there-is-no-point-b-awakening-of-a-software-engineer","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
