Mission Accomplished!

We work so hard towards gaining the most transient things in life.
Try to hoard them desperately and pride ourselves over it.
I think it is in some of those rare moments when we realise that we take nothing along with us.
It a philosophical point of view we say, and repress it in those dark corners of the mind.
We Promise to never dig those graves again.
In this mode of things what happens is that the real riches lay unrecognised by our eyes.

Before we were dropped down on this earth, we were each given a chit saying - *Grab the riches-wen you return, the one with the greatest value of riches- Wins HAPPINESS FOREVER.
*And the treasure hunt begins NOW
We have no clues, we have no instructions but just a mission to accomplish.
So we blankly stare at each other and whoever at first seems to be getting at the semblance of the "right thing" to do, we imitate him.
And what follows is a Mass Hysteria.
Its an extremely infectious process!
This mass hysteria goes on and on and becomes the NORM. The ones who deviate-fall out, loose out, get laughed at-hysterically! Some manage to hold on and have faith in their ways while some fall apart like a pack of cards.
This goes on and then the mission gradually begins to encroach the unconscious along with the conscious. This is because now we have evolved to chase. We are designed to chase. To chase the riches for accomplishing THE mission. The Mass Hysteria becomes Robust and deafeningly Loud.

What we forget in this wild intoxication is that the mission only occupies a fragmentary part of our existence. We must return and have our accumulation evaluated. And when we return we see that we all fall out of the race because we did not understand the true nature of the mission. We could not perceive the right goal. There is no medium, no agent that can carry our material accumulations back.
The true riches infact need no physical mediums to be transported, or to be evaluated for that matter. It needs no stamp of value or a sanction of the Prize.
For a heart which is full of Memories knows that he has with it attained
HAPPINESS FOREVER.

And then some "deviant fool" from the mission turns around, looks at us, smiles and says-*I win!
