Being Human Part 2

…Was the human existence nothing but an exercise in futility???
“Today we find the answers” saying so I fell into a state of repose as I silently meditated upon the very question that was cropping up incessantly in my heart. As I introspected more and more with myself, I gradually realized that the human existence was in the end as much of a boon as it was a bane. As I thought about it, I realized that the human being indeed was the pinnacle of evolution. Simply put, he was far superior to those who preceded him in the evolutionary process. In the spiritual sense of the term, it meant that the soul which finally incarnated as a human being had already undergone through the process of evolution. It was evolution that finally brought him through millions of lesser incarnations as he transgressed all of them, finally being incarnated as a human being. As I meditated on these very thoughts, I realized that the human life was indeed a great opportunity to further accelerate the rate of evolution; but then I wondered to myself. What would a human being evolve into?
That was question that posed great spiritual, theological and evolutionary possibilities to the human mind. What would the human being finally evolve into? What was the one thing that was truly considered as being greater than man? Science in the end could only take one so far into the future, for science in itself was a school of thought that was developed by man; and hence it was limited in its very essence. The scope of evolution beyond the boundaries of human intellect was something that could only be fathomed by dreamers and mystics; and both were equally ridiculed for their fantastic deductions. As I meditated further on the process of evolution and the human existence in general, I realized that through the ages, there had been only one entity that man had truly cognized to be greater than himself. It was God.
The God that I am speaking of is not a god that speaks to the world through the diminutive perception of religion. Essentially it is a God who transcends all bonds of social, economic and theological schools; a god that simply permeates every single conscious soul on the face of this earth; the God who is omnipresent and omnicentered in every beating heart on this earth. I realized that in the end, He was the only single entity that man had ever cognized as being superior to himself. In the end, I realized that it was indeed Him that represented the ultimate stage in the process of evolution.
Evolution in its very essence is a process of enrichment. It is a process in which redundant and non-responsive attributes are shed by the entity in question in order to exist and thrive more completely. In the end, if we look at things dispassionately and objectively, we realize that the human life is naught but an opportunity to further expand on the journey of evolution; that human existence, with all its frailties and all its weaknesses is naught but a chance that is earned by our soul in its bid to finally reach the optimum stage of enrichment.
Thus necessarily Being Human is but a precursor of bigger and better things; a precursor of Being Divine…
Then why did the human being incessantly wallow in the pits of self-indulgence and self-gratification? Where did he truly lose the desire to progress on this path of the soul? Why did the human being so easily give up on his lofty quest?
