once during a family event back home some people were having a small discussion.one of our family friends made the statment“The goal is the same, but the paths we take are different.” she is a principal of a school. Once a student in her school started smoking and made it a habit. So, she called the school counselor to help him get rid of the habit. After a while he did finally stop smoking. Also, after the counseling sessions he converted himself into a Christian. So, when she called him one day, he told her that she should believe in Jesus. So, she said” to you it maybe Jesus, but for me it is Lord Ganesha. God is the same for all , but we believe in him differently.”
so is it true that we have similar goals?We all have different approaches to reach the same goal. I think all individuals ultimately want to feel peace and wholesomeness within themselves.they want to feel happy. happiness is nothing but and ideal state in which the person desires to be in.for example, a beggar begs for his desire of fulfilling his hunger. and by doing so he does reach some point of peace and happiness.A rich man earns a lot of money in order to be happy at the end. so, one reaches this state by trying to fulfill different desires.we all try to reach this state as far as possible Since, this is so subjective we have different ways of achieving our goals. The difference in approach comes when we see and understand reality the way we want to see it and work towards that goal according to our understanding.
