A spirit is felt - one must feel more, think less.

What exactly is Life/Spirit?

When an unanswerable question is posed, the Rig Veda employs a language that is still in use today. "Who knows?" we answer, shrugging our shoulders. We truly mean that no one knows. One person who is cut off from the truth cannot know it in its entirety. It can only be felt when the knower dissolves into the known. The eye cannot see and the nose cannot smell. We don't have to seek for significance in our lives. It solely relates to itself. Without any other reference, life has inherent meaning and worth.

Life is an outcome, not a cause. As a spiritual quest, we might look for the source of life. The spiritual battle is not to find the purpose of existence (or death), but to utilise life to comprehend what the Rig Veda refers to as "That One Thing, breathless, breathed of its own nature; aside from it there was nothing whatsoever." Nothing exists aside from the One Thing, which is everything. We have the opportunity to experience, know, and become the One Thing while we are alive.

This is not an objective experiment; it is a subjective approach to infinity that can only be felt, not articulated. Life does not point elsewhere; it embraces infinity in the form of creation and has its own intrinsic meaning. We are taught to work hard in order to achieve a goal in life, and sometimes in the pursuit of those ambitions, we miss out on experiencing each passing day as full and complete.
