Pursuing Purpose for ‘Who am I’ There is Emptiness, wherever perceptual vision extends. In this Emptiness, mindlessness reigns, there is no meaning. Life is meaningless, and A purpose is called for. A purpose requires a worthy matter, an objective, Giving rise to need for an Object. To give existence to an object, a subject has to be there, And thus, I arise. I, the witness first, becomes a delectate bhogi* and doer, Turning I into the Ego. As Ego rises, Shadows arise, Giving a hideout in darkness, A stakeout that moves along with me. As I grow, my ego rises further, Giving a greater lair to my darkness. And so when we chase Meaning, We give rise to our Shadows. As we engage with the shadows, and look into the darkness, the shadow collapes, and so does the I. The perceptive soul meets emptiness, again.
