~ Find Your Purpose...~

What are we here for? Just to earn and procreate and have family and then one day our body withers and we are flamed and after some time no one remembers us of our visit to this planet – whatever amount of good or bad you have done is forgotten after some passing years…

The society is developed in such a way that people come and people go – everything is absorbed in melancholy and love and lost soon after. So again the main question comes prodding to the mind “What are we here for? , to eat sleep, procreate, earn money accumulate good and bad experiences ?” or there is something much beyond our comprehension. 

Till date the only “Convincing and a logical answer I came across has been from the Bhagwat Gita which was again and again echoed by Srimad Prabhupada… when one devotee asked him “what is our purpose of this earthly life? “, Sri Prabhupada replied “just to thank god and be at his devotion, nothing else…you are not here to achieve big things and live with them perpetually, you will surely have to leave everything at his insistence and start afresh – now to the naked eye this logic sounds so profound and real for we can see this happening in our day to day lives.”

There is another school of thought which insists that that this world is just a coincidence and everything “Just Happened” by chance and that we are here to exist and vanish one day with no afterlife – there is no one who created us and there is no cosmic governance guiding our living.

Every religion has its own interpretation of our existence and its own school of thought – but all have one similar commonality and that is that we come, we exist and we go! – in between what happens is what we call “Life”.

So, when you see your near and dear one go, thoughts come to your mind promptly about our purpose and what should we do to enrich our lives - time is clicking for sure and as they say, each passing day takes us close to our death – our final destination.

I have met umpteen people and asked them this “simple yet most complex question” – “What is your purpose in life? – there was no convincing answer as almost all of us are confused – we are just living a day without any purpose and a forming a legacy…. Only one soul till date has given me a convincing answer to our purpose in life “ Just live it and don’t try to find your purpose, things will altogether shape up to find you one day and then doing things you will realize that you were born for this…till that does not happen , live synonymously with what life is offering you….!!!” – Sounds quite convincing to me and that this advice I incorporated and am a happy being…waiting for destiny to find me and make me live my true purpose…. For others, keep on this journey alive for sure you will to one day tread on this question and move out to find someone giving you meaning of life and what you are here for….
