We seek fulfillment by doing something. It is not possible to stop ourselves from seeking fulfillment, even for a second. What if we became certain that there is no fulfillment at all in doing anything? What would we do then? Can I willfully stop myself from doing everything, and become totally still? Would I be there, in my state of total stillness? Will I know the meaning of total stillness when I am totally still? Would fulfillment or non-fulfillment matter to me in my state of total stillness - wherein I won't have any thoughts and memories of the past? What would happen if I begin inquiring about the meaning and purpose of realities around me, after having achieved the state of total stillness? What would then get written on my "clean slate" of consciousness? What if I found that - this world is not disorderly as it seems from senses, instead it is purposeful and rooted? What if I found myself to be the part of this world and found the essence of my orderliness? What if I became fulfilled from those answers, and became certain that it is not a matter of my solitary fulfillment, but it is the key to whole humankind's fulfillment? What would be my vision for manifestation of complete harmony in the living of humankind? What would I choose to live after having understood that vision? What if the cup of my joy starts overflowing and I want to reach out to the world? What if I found that humankind until now has lived like animals and fulfillment of humankind is only when it achieves the understanding that I have achieved? What if I discover that all human beings have "natural expectation" of fulfillment and they have imagination which is seeking fulfillment by doing something? What would I ask them to do? Could I ask them to imagine in the light of my realization of harmony in existence? Could their imagination then resonate with the harmony of existence and thereby could they also achieve lasting fulfillment? Could this understanding flow into human tradition - from one person to another, by way of education?
