The Search for Nirvana

Every thinking man strives to attain nirvana (salvation) in his own way. A religious man seeks nirvana in his theological musings and prayers. An artist seeks nirvana in his works of art. A philosopher seeks nirvana in his philosophy. A politician seeks nirvana in his politics. A businessman seeks nirvana in his material achievements. Nirvana denotes the stage of intellectual, moral, and psychological perfection, the stage where there is total self-realization and self-fulfillment. Man cannot become perfect. He cannot attain nirvana. He may strive for it.
