What is the Purpose of Life?

What is the Purpose of Life?

I think, there are two different meaning of this question. The one is to just get or achieve the things which we want. And the other one is to contribute something for our society, for our country.

Just sit and analyze what is the purpose of your life. Make a list of all the things which are not the purpose of your life, and then you will understand what the real purpose of your life is.

In our daily routine we do lots of things, such as watching television, eating, doing laundry, washing dishes, painting, studying, depositing money in the bank till we die and many more things. But we can't say these all things are the purpose of our life. But theses all are our basic needs.

Some of them say, after the graduation I just want to take up a job in a reputed company with high salary and I don't need anything else. With this salary I can help my family financially, teach my younger sister in a high reputed college, can make elder sister's marriage enthusiastically. And ultimately, this is the only purpose of our life.

               

Guruji has manifested his thoughts on the purpose of life. He says, the real meaning of purpose of life is distributing joy to others with your free mind. 

 

Just take an example, when a child return home after a long time from his hostel, mother makes all his favourite dishes. After having them, the joy she can see on his child's face is the real satisfaction for mother. And this was the purpose behind making all his favourite dishes.

Relate this example with your life and think what is the purpose of your life. You are just in greed to get something for yourself rather than giving others freely. You are only thinking for yourself. Just think because of you there is happiness on someone's face, how will you feel. So instead of expecting try to give others. When you learn to contribute, you will automatically understand the main purpose of your life.
