LIFE AND ITS PURPOSE

A small boy, a bit sad was moving on a road when some one approched and brought him to the King. And then introduced him to King, " Son this is your father, the King ". And all of a sudden, this sad boy changed his emotions to that of being happy. Now after this, this guy had everything to enjoy from Kingdom of his father. He was owner of all riches. Often he moved on road again but now he helped people without keeping a track of what he was giving bcoz all was from King's treasures. Boy remained happy ever after with enjoyment for self and selfless service for others, with love for father and rest people of King's Kingdom.

Life is as simple as the above example. I too often heard about below mentioned purposes of life.


a) life is to enjoy to the fullest.

b) life is to achieve the supreme God.

c) life is about fulfilling your responsibilities to your society.


But have come to a humble understanding that all purposes are in hand in hand. But utmost being, meeting the King, the God. If son hasnt met his father, he cannot do selfless job for others. He would be exhausted soon with ego slipping very easily. Continued motivation comes only from father's inexhaustible store. And if he moves around the riches alone, he might see them but he doesnt own them in real sense. They arent his treasures.

Spirituality seriously makes living so enjoyable with duties being fulfilled at every step. And basic step of knowing King doesnt involve any hardships, no physical excercises but just one who can tell " Son this is your father, the King".
