Purpose of “LIFE”


Purpose of “LIFE”
Before we define the purpose of life lets understand what we do in our life.

We always search / aim for something in our life.  May be for wealth, beautiful wife / handsome husband, good job, more salary, lovable relationship or even salvation / liberation and so on……..
We keep trying something throughout our life to achieve and will never settle down.

It is nothing wrong in setting ambitions in life that’s what keeps you alive and ticking.  But no one can ever taste the real happiness when we achieve what we set, because the moment you achieve then the next and it will go on forever. This everyone would have experienced in life. Say for example, when you are terribly hungry you want to eat the food first and then everything. The moment you put the food and quench the hunger your mind starts focusing on the next thing to get satisfied. The mind wants something else now.

Please watch this vlog for wonderful sharing about Life

I can end this chapter by highlighting two statements. One from my Hero Swami Vivekananda and second is my perspective about life.
1.       Swami Vivekananda says- “Neti , Neti “  meaning -   “ Not This, Not This”. We can only experience that this is NOT but never be able to clearly say this is what the purpose of Life.







2.       In fact, the purpose of life is – “NO –THING”
  • Anything you bring / define will not really satisfy or meaningful and it is an effort to carry a PURPOSE. In fact, Life is Effortless and everything happens on its own.  

Just try the following with an effort. You will not be able to succeed.








1.       Try to meditate …..

2.       Try to Sleep …….

3.       Try to be happy ……
