Purpose Of Life I am quite sure that you are a “Living Being” and there has be a purpose of life being lived by you. On trying to summarize the life of a normal person it will appear something like that a man took birth, lived a life doing good and bad things, and finally died. To be true, we have no control on taking birth and dying, but definitely we can do something productive with the phase that lies in-between. What is purpose of life ? Well! I can go on complicating things, but the beauty of ‘truth’ is that it’s very simple. The purpose of life is to do good things. Yes! “To do good things…” to yourself and others. There was a time when I used to think that the purpose of my life is to get education, then someday it became my priority to get a job, and then to marry …. . I know there is no end to this prioritization of objectives with change of time. Today, I realized that actually those are/were needs & necessities; not the purpose of life. I was in a total state of confusion regarding this issue. In addition, the worldly pressures was so high that everything got mixed up. I hope, that you got the point I am trying to tell. What we don’t realize is that despite of being a singular entity, we humans live a life with multiple roles. You are a son, a student, a family member, a patriot, a teacher, a boss, an employee, and in numerous other characters at very same time. Perhaps it will be best to live each role with perfection. Anyhow, on looking at world-around it appears a like a complete state of chaos. You try to become a good son/daughter and suddenly realize the strings of marriage start vibrating. You were helping a friends and ultimate accomplishment was the loss in business. Told the truth and was punished for it. ….. I mean you tried to do “this” and it ended up in “that”. Yes ! this is the world the real-physical-world. For this reason, it is said that “… it’s a mess, and you need to get out of the life-death cycle”. On considering the verses from Holy Bhagvad Gita and circumstances of Mahabharata battle. The following points might help you in understanding the Purpose of life as a human. Money: Earn it from justifiable means and use it for yourself and to help others. “Charity” is a nice term, but must be done with care. It must be delivered to deserving. The point is to earn money for taking control of life and your surroundings. There is no harm in acquiring any amount of money, but becoming greedy is a totally different thing. Just imagine yourself to be a very rich man, with power, command, and authority to do good things. Karma: Anything that happens is nothing but a reaction for something that happened. Most of the men are engaged in selfish deeds. There world starts with me and ends with mine. It is well an good for them to have such life, but not for you. Animals live for themselves, but not the humans (real ones). Religion: As per the philosophy of Sanatan Dharma the prescribed religious-duties are in complete compatibility with norms of being a good & great man. Salvation is the ultimate goal, but one must not confuse it with negligence of worldly affairs. Almighty Lord Krishna not only preached Arjuna about the supernatural stuff, but also told him about the importance of duties to be performed in this world. A good man who aims at welfare of others is religious for sure. I mean a person might declare himself as a non-believer and do good work (No religious tags and badges are required). The Karma (action) is supreme and it is through action you will declare as well as define your purpose of life.
