Who am I? Why am I in this world? What is the relationship that I have with others? These are questions that hit people who have a quest to know the real truth.
The simplest explanation is we are all packets of energy directed by our soul. Soul has its signature on every energy bundle which is determined by the cause and effect technology.
As we live through several incarantions we tend to accumulate tendencies because of our past actions. We live thru this incarnation paying for our actions in the previous and sometimes this incarnation. Whatever we do in this world is influenced by these tendencies also called Maya. To really break way from these tendencies you have to be very alert and always live in the "now".
The concept of "now" is not as simple to implement as it seems to be. The tendencies that we have accumulated hangs around us and pushes us into despair and we are all elements of the bigger drama that happens.
Key thing to realise is that we are part of a cosmic dream. Just as we go to sleep and in those 8 to 10 hours live through images and circumstances, even this life is a dream. Once you realise this all those tendencies would drop off and you would truly be awakened.
Now how do we get to that stage. The only way is control our thought process and which could be accomplished by what is known as "Sadhana". Repeated practice of meditation, yoga, pranayama etc., would take you up there. It would truly help you to live in the "now" where you celebrate every moment.
Simpler way to do this is to surrender to the divine and still give 100 percent. That is though you give your best you aren't bothered about the positive or negative results. This alone is a remedy for all our afflictions that we go through every incarnation and would help resolve your "identity " crisis and help to dissolve with the ultimate.
