All of us are on some or the other journey of finding the purpose of our essence being. For some, its a beautiful journey, for some difficult, for some a mixed one and for some very very interesting.
Its a common belief that each one of us must have a purpose in life, without which the life becomes hollow or worthless. So when we clearly know our purpose or objective, then we have something to base our decisions on. In order to know our purpose, we need to become more aware of who we are, otherwise how can we live our purpose?
We define ourselves as human (body) beings (soul). The human part we know well, but the soul, the one observing the world from within this body, tends to remain a bit of a secret. Unaware of the soul we wear the mantle of the identity given to us by the outside world, from our family, culture, friends, the environment we are associated with. When all these things are removed though, we are just left with ‘the being’ that is the soul. Just imagine your body becoming light and starts disappearing...
When this confidence about ‘who I am’ is born within us, the mists disappear resulting in a lot of clarity from within. This power of clarity, born from this relationship of love with self, guides us and enables us to live with care, compassion and mercy for humanity. Loving others then becomes inevitable, natural and we will also realise the purpose for which we are here...
