There Is No 'Point B': Awakening of a software engineer

Overview

"I spent three decades of my life running towards a 'Point B.' 'Point A, ' or 'where I am, ' was never enough, and I constantly sought a Point B, 'where I should be, ' where there will be more money, more comfort, more goodness, more righteousness, and in short, more happiness. And one day, I realized, as clear as a blue sky, that 'Point B' is an illusion. Until I was 10 years old, I was hopping around like a puppy, eating, pooping, and playing, without any care whatsoever. Then hormones and ""life stories"" started happening, like heartbreaks, career, money, relationships, stress and traumas, that started this journey towards a Point B. Better grades, better jobs, better salary, better relationships, better this, better that, Point B seemed to be a constantly eluding moving target. When I realized that money and career weren't the Point B I was looking for, I came across the supposedly greatest Point B of all, ""Enlightenment! Nirvana!"" I became a seeker, traveled to ashrams and monasteries, practiced yoga and meditations, ""soul-searching"" travels around 25 countries, all towards the Point B called ""enlightenment."" Until, one day, after 15 years of intense ""seeking,"" a simple, direct, and crystal-clear recognition dawned in me that Point B is an illusion. A realization that there is nowhere else to go, nothing more to do, the present moment is all there is! Better bank balance may or may not happen, better relationships may or may not happen, better life may or may not happen, but the present moment is all there is. Whether in Chennai, or Paris, or London, or locked up in a toilet, I'm always ""right here."" Whether sick, or healthy, or rich, or poor, it is always ""right now."" Only ""right here"" and ""right now"" exist in the entire universe, ever. Everything else is a story. Enlightenment is not miracles and long dreadlocks. Enlightenment is not smiling blissfully ever after. Enlightenment is a simple recognition that we are already home, right here, right now! There is no Point B."
