Ajanta Ellora-My take away

When one enters this terra incognito, called life, all is unknown ...
but then....
one is often attracted by wealth
Allured by beauty
Intoxicated with Power
one often craves for grandeur and luxury
But soon all this begins to feel like the burden of Atlas
And soon from side of  One's eyes one starts looking for peace, solace, a stationary happiness, in this ephemeral chaos.
One seeks the Gods...
But all in vain, since Human Gods are all broken,,,that is because man created God in his image..
Peace is only found when there is the realization that there is no duality, no light or darkness, because they cannot exist alone and need each other to exist..they complete each other
The realization leads to the revelation that all this is a mirage, and the true essence of existence can be only seen once we one rises above all this. When this is achieved, one becomes Buddha, THE ONE who does not have a self because he is everything, does not have ephemeral ego, because he has eternal peace, he has no face, because faces are temporary, but existence is stationary and just keeps changing faces....
