How to Find Meaning in a Seemingly Meaningless World.

In this meaningless world, how can we find meaning? Today, we'll dive deep into this topic. I mean, we'll go so deep that you'll need to keep your mind fully open. Try not just to catch my words, but to grasp the meaning I'm trying to convey in the context in which I'm actually speaking. Because I will question my own thinking, and you may wonder if I am teaching you something. But no, I'm sharing with you, and I'm questioning my own thoughts one after the other, as if I am developing myself.

Let's begin by understanding what 'meaning' and 'meaningless' are, and let's question both. What does 'meaning' mean, and what does 'meaningless' mean? Can we actually find meaning? Meaning of what? Whatever we're doing, we know its outcome, right? Now, whatever result comes from that, its effect — in the sense of how it impacts us and others. From this perspective, meaning could also come from here. What does 'meaning' mean? Meaning is connected with purpose. And what is purpose? That's a big question. 

First, keep the words in your mind separate, like interest, passion, and purpose. Never consider all these things as one, or it will cause problems because you need a certain stability in your mind. Actually, if you look at it, interest, purpose, and meaning are all planted in your mind. If you understand, we have a huge misunderstanding that we believe we have created our thoughts ourselves, that we have chosen that our thinking should be this way. But that's not the case. It's all collusion. Call it society, call it the world of advertising; you have a particular upbringing, a mindset formed with certain thoughts. So leave things like fashion, interest, and the rest; don’t connect them, or it will cause problems, and you will get confused too.

What is purpose? The word 'purpose' itself, if actually studied, is complex. It is one of those words that has no end result, you understand, right? If seen logically, through logical sense, purpose of what? Knowing why you are doing what you are doing. If I speak logically, and then slowly, we will go deeper and push our thinking further. If we know why we are doing what we are doing, then a planning order begins to form in the mind. Our thinking starts converting into a long-term vision. We know what we are doing and why we are doing it, which will lead to something good. As a result, our long-term plans start to form. That's why having a clear purpose means knowing exactly what you are doing and what will happen in the future. How will you know this? By understanding what you are doing now and why you are doing it. When you define the 'why,' you can expand your long-term vision and see it clearly. 

The actual meaning of purpose is knowing why you are doing what you are doing because purpose could be related to a task or even a life purpose. Right now, we are talking about finding meaning in this world. The world is connected to life, right? And what does life mean? Life means what we are living in, whatever activities we do. Leave activity aside; just seeing what is now is life, right? Life is neither in the past nor in the future; life is in the present. And what do you think — do you actually live in the present? What is taught in all these philosophies? How to actually live in the present? What is the present? Because as long as you are reading this, or as long as you are reading a blog, it has already passed, understand? Like when you look at anything online, by the time you see it, it has already gone. When we are observing a planet, from here, from Earth, in the universe, by the time the light travels and reaches us, a lot of time has already passed. So, if we can't see the present, how can we live in it? This is not an easy thing, unlike what people have simply told you — to live in the present. 

What is the actual present? How can you live in something that has already happened? For this, it's necessary to be still in the mind, to actually pause and see this reality, that whatever is here is within you. I won’t speak in a roundabout way or say something confusing.

The same energy from which I am made, you are also made from that same energy. Everything here is made from the same energy — this universe is made from it, the air is made from it. If you want to actually see and experience this truth, not just understand my words, but actually experience it, then stop here and let the breath that is flowing enter you. Take a deep breath and forget everything else. You will realize how we are all one, connected — everything. When you truly understand this, that everything is one, then you can enter that stillness I’m talking about, which is the real present. There, there are no thoughts, nothing; only you exist. And what are you? You are everything that is happening right now — this sound, you are the tree, everything is just you and nothing else. 

So, we have understood the present, but how is it connected to purpose? Because earlier, we were understanding purpose in relation to tasks — knowing what you are doing and why you are doing it, so that our long-term planning can expand, and we can see our vision clearly. I explained purpose very complexly and clearly. Knowing exactly why we are doing what we are doing helps our long-term vision to expand. But in life, what will we do for purpose? What will we clarify in what we are doing? Because actually, from the perspective of the universe, why things are the way they are is not considered. In the materialistic world, in external factors, you can apply ‘why,’ but what is internal — I have already explained that what is outside is also inside. If you are catching what I'm trying to say, something wonderful is happening in your understanding right now. 

What is the universe? The answer is in this way. In life, the purpose of life, why life is, has no exact answer, but what life is has an answer.

So, we gradually removed each layer. First, we were on meaning in this meaningless world because these things have been created. I told you, right? In your mind, because whoever wants to sell you something will sell it to you, whether they have to plant any useless desire in your mind or do anything like that. This is the marketing world, designed to plant such things in your mind. We clearly and very easily removed the layers and tried to see things as they are. So, meaning is connected to purpose, but in life, whether or not purpose exists doesn’t matter because knowing the purpose of something is to understand why. But in life, there is no exact answer as to why life is. Because actually, if you know why life is, what will you do? Understand, what is it? If you understand what you are, a certain energy burst occurs, and living life becomes an entirely different joy. That’s why, if you understood what life is, if you actually understood this block with a calm mind, questioning your thinking, not letting anything pre-filled in your mind, then my words will reach you. If you actually understood this, try to grasp what I have said in this context. You will understand what life is because I have explained its meaning here. I am making a distinction between work and life. Work needs a purpose because you need to know what you are doing and why you are doing it, to understand what will happen because of it. But in life, actually understanding who you are is the solution to everything.

That's all for now. Thank you.
