What is the purpose of our life?
Right from the childhood, I have been stuck to this question….what is the purpose of our life? Life’s journey is only related to beginning i.e. birth…and end i.e. death or is it something else, which nobody yet has come to know. Do our existing life related to our past lives? But again the question is how much truth is there in the re-incarnation? And who is going to answer all these questions?
Does everyone come to know about his life’s purpose before dying? And if not then why does everyone take a birth, what is the need of that? Who decides who borns on which day, in which family, at which location?
And what happens after the death? Does life’s journey end over there? Or is it the beginning of the new journey? If our journey ends over there itself? Then do we become spirits? Do spirits really exist? And if they do, why can’t we observe their presence? In which quantity do they exist? How much quantity can our surrounding accommodate them?
And if we do not become spirits, then what happens to us after the death? Is it incarnation again? And up to how much limit? Who decides who become spirit and who takes another birth? Is it depending upon the good and the bad things done by us during our life on earth? If that is the reason then there will be spirits of only bad people in the surroundings or vice-versa.
And if spirits exist due to their unfulfilled wishes during their lives, then how one should know his own wish that needs to be fulfilled so that he does not become a spirit after death? Or is it better to be a spirit than to born and die again and going through the life’s journey and pain during the death?
Who has the answers to all these questions…all the people which we see in the surroundings…does any one of those has answers to these questions?
If not then do they also have similar questions like these? If yes, then why don’t everybody search for the answers?
And if they do not have any kind of these questions then what is the need of their living…without knowing the purpose of their lives???
All i can say is everyone is a part or a bigger play..and each ones' role is affected by the persons near them..And so we all are connected. We all are just a small part of the big story. And therefore each role has its own character and a separate story.
ReplyDeletemy head is spinning!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete"what is the purpose of my life?"
ReplyDeleteUtmost important question, but unfortunately thought over by only a few...
All I can say is...yes some people do get an answer.
Those who know, do not reveal the answer and those who reveal...have not actually found the answer.
thts right...very few ppl in this world take an effort to find out d purpose of their lives...
ReplyDeletedon't know...how to find those ppl...who has found these answers...
A pertinent question, haunting (no pun intended) most of us. Physics and philosophy may provide the answers. And yet, there are areas where philosophy has it's limitations; and then places where the laws of physics, as we know in this known universe of ours, may be different.
ReplyDeleteScience, yet hasn't conclusively proved the existence of soul or spirit or the evidence of reincarnation. And science / a scientific approach is the best approach one can possibly have (it is even better than am abstract philosophical approach).
I have recently been very interested in Richard Dawkins' viewpoints, and he claims that there really is no purpose of life, and according to him, that's a rather irrelevant question from the scientific perspective. It is like asking why do mountains exist, etc. He claims all life and even our life has been just a random chance and evolution has brought us here. He does not believe in any supernatural phenomenon pertaining to consciousness, but admits it is an area yet to be fully understood, and that scientists are working it to fill in the gaps of our understanding of it.
Well certainly thought provoking. Too many questions and mysteries. Wonder if someone can ever find out the truth behind all this stuff.
DeleteI find myself wondering at times. What is the purpose of all these materialistic achievemenrs. They say you are born alone and you die alone. Tu kya lekar Aaya tha Jo Tu lekar jaayega. Then what's the point of anything at all. I wonder. Sigh...
ReplyDeleteTrue that.. Only thing u get is a sense of achievement when u r alive... After all this is about being proud of urself and living ur name behind.
