Purpose of life

Is there a purpose of life? What does it mean when men of wisdom say there
is always a purpose in life? If there is life's purpose then why do most
people while away their life without ever finding a purpose in life? What
use living a purpose driven life without a defined purpose?

The answer to all the above queries on finding a purpose in life is the most
crucial part of life for a human being. The purpose driven life is meant to
be lived by living forms which have not yet evolved to the level of human
beings. Why?

Simply because they are devoid of discriminatory powers to choose a goal in
life! The insects, the plants and animals always live a purpose driven life.
They simply have no goal in life. They are as they are. They simply have
their existence and have to abide by the rules of evolution as defined by
Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution.

Only when the living form reaches the level of a human being does one
realize that human life is the highest manifest stage in the cosmic system.
The moment a human being realizes that life has a purpose... one seeks the
purpose of his life. Without a goal in life, Life seems to be incomplete!

As the child grows... one comes to learn that every human being has the
potential of becoming a man god like Mahavira, Buddha, Jesus Christ and
prophet Mohammed. Is that the crux of life! Is gaining salvation the end
purpose of life!

If that be so... are we required to have a purpose in life linked to
salvation as the present goal of life or is it that we can postpone
traveling the spiritual path for the next manifestation.

The goal and the purpose of life for every human being are gaining
enlightenment and finally salvation in the end. That may or may not be the
purpose of life in the present manifestation. The purpose of life in the
present phase can be best known by hearing the sweet small voice of our soul
atman within our heart.

The purpose of life in every manifestation is driven by our soul atman
within. It is our soul atman which has taken the body and not vice versa.
The purpose of life is indirectly dictated by our soul atman within. If our
deeds of the present life are not in consonance with the directives of our
soul atman within... then heartburning, tensions and stresses become part of
daily life.

Whatever act provides us complete relief... doing which we find extreme
pleasure... something that we enjoy doing must form our goal of life. It is
this goal of life pursuing which the purpose of our present life would be
fulfilled.

It is surprising that almost above 95% people living on Mother Earth pass
their life without ever having a purpose in life. It is almost like taking
the routine path. If we are to ever curtail our cosmic journey... we need to
find the purpose of our present manifestation. And this goal of life shall
be prompted to us by our soul atman within.

By being truthful in life we can always hear the sweet small inner voice
coming from within our heart. This voice of our soul atman within always
guides us on the right path. Knowing the exact purpose of this life... half
the life's journey is complete.

FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) had a fixed purpose in life and that made
him one of the most successful presidents USA ever had in spite of his
severe handicaps. (FDR lost both of his legs).

Madame Curie spent her entire life searching for radium in pitchblende. She
was successful in the end but her success was written all over her body. Her
body had dismally decayed by the powerful rays of radioactivity which led to
her death. She knew what the outcome would be. Her purpose of life was
helping the mankind. She had a very noble purpose in life. She succeeded
finally!

Bill Gates... the architect of the Microsoft Corporation and the developer
of famous Windows program also had a fixed purpose in life. His teachers
found him academically weak! Fearing he would bring a bad name to the
institution... they turned him out of the so called place of wisdom!

Destiny willed otherwise! Bill Gates pursued a goal of life dear to his
heart. He fiddled with typewriters and gadgets which ultimately led him to
develop computer skills which are unparalleled in the history of mankind.
His famous Windows program now runs almost every computer in the world.

Every success in life demands a neatly defined purpose of life. And this
purpose of life must be fixed in the earlier stages of life.

Life as a human being must be lived to the hilt. That decision is to be made
by us alone. Our parents, teachers and well wishers can only act as guides
in the journey of life. The purpose of our life is to be fixed by us alone.
We just cannot leave things to chance. The time for that may never come.

Everything in the Cosmos is justly ordered. If Stephan Hawking in his book,
"a brief history of time" has expressed that the system of God is disordered
at some stage... he is mysteriously wrong. This poor scientist fails to
recognize that spirituality starts from the point where science ends. To
measure spirituality from the yardstick of science has never been possible
and shall never be.

Realizing the absolute truth that everything in the Cosmos is justly
ordered... why not bring order to our life. We definitely must fix a goal in
life and never let ourselves fall into the rut of purpose driven life.
