Purpose of our Life


What am I doing here ?
How did I come here ?
What is the purpose of my life ?

These are not the questions from some abstruse philosophical book rather these are the questions an infant must be pondering over when he enters the world. But as he grows he wanders away from them. The thing is that we all are afraid when it comes to dealing the question "what is the purpose of life".T's why we keep ourselves busy with work,family,grades,college......... mistaking them for purpose of life.


Most interesting part of humanity is the way it distorts the boundary between what we need and what we want "We need food but we want chocolate sundae"(Mitch Albom).

A soul is standing in courtyard of God and discussing how humans squander their life in pedestrian activities. God responds and says that what the game of life is all about. Life makes you miss your endeavor of being by enslaving you in day to day activities,those who balaces the two tend to attain the nirvana.

Life is all about "BALANCING". Balance between need of the body and the soul.What does our soul needs, it need to find the purpose of Life. Finding the "Purpose of Life" is also a purpose isn't it?

  1. The way I see it is we do not have a purpose...we are just a step in a process, or maybe just a random occurrence...just one of a several random events in a sample space of infinite size...the beauty is not in that we are tailored to fulfill a specific purpose that we are, we all are a product of randomness.....
