Within this mortal being,
Within the soul of the human life,
Deep within the very fibers of our being,
Right from creation, unto conception,
There has been a void with an insatiable desire,
A void and a desire which we try to satiate with vanities and all of life's emptiness,
A void which we try to fill with drugs, sex, and alcohol,
Some try to fill with depression, dejection, and anger,
And yet others try to fill it with entertainment, fashion, money, fame and fortune,
So we crave "freedom," from every enclave that seems to stifle our "fun",
We run from God's word because we feel living for God is boring and restricting,
We go after the world's freedom, after man's freedom,
Freedom to have sex with whomever, whatever and whenever we can afford,
Freedom to attend parties, night clubs, get high on all sorts of "fine spirits",
Freedom to just live life the way we desire,
But what happens in the end is that that which we call freedom turns out to be bondage in disguise,
Because now we are addicted to sex, drugs and alcohol,
We can't just let go off that habit, so our freedom to sin has now placed us in a bondage of sin-what an irony!
And still that void remains, and will continue to remain,
We may try to front like we don't need God and all is well,
But truth is that void within us is a void created by God which only He can fill,
And unless you come back to God, that void will remain, gradually resulting in a life of unhappiness,
And trust me, no philosophy or teaching or meditation of man can fill that void,
For what you call peace obtained from a meditation is only temporal quietness: real peace is from within and is long lasting.
So come back to God, for He alone can fill that void within you.
Peace.
