In our very nature there is one part which is the instinct of self-preservation — which constantly defines boundaries and protects them. If you go by the laws of physical nature, self-preservation is ____ (A) the main process. If it is happening well, the next immediate thing that physical existence demands is procreation. But that is also self-preservation - preservation of the ____ (B). This is all that the physical nature knows ______ and that’s good. If physical nature did not have any sense of self-preservation, you wouldn’t exist.
However, there is another dimension of a human being which always ____ (C) to be something more than what you are right now. It does not matter who you are, how big you are or what you have become in your life, you still long to become something more than who you are right now. This means there is something within you which does not like boundaries, which is constantly longing to become boundless — you are seeking the ____ (D) itself. That is wonderful, but the problem is you are seeking it in instalments. If you go by instalments, you can go through a lifetime and realise you are still not fulfilled.
