Purpose of Life

What is the purpose of life? On a day when you are bursting with happiness, did you ask this question? No. Only when life gets a little sedate and depressing you ask. You need a purpose to life only when being alive is not sufficient.

Right now, the biggest thing in your life is that you are alive. The stock market going up or down is not the biggest thing, you being alive right now is. Everything else is secondary. But most people are not aware of it.

If your experience of life becomes deeper, your question will disappear. When the process of life becomes absolutely exuberant, it needs no purpose. You go to work, your purpose may be to make this much money or to take care of this or that. But if you go to a party, what is the purpose? No purpose, you just like to be there. If life became like one big party you would not wonder what the hell its purpose is. You just like to be there. Life does not need a purpose; it is a purpose unto itself. It need not lead you on to something else.

After some time you wonder what the purpose of life is because you do not see anything in full; this is the nature of sense perception. It is about seeing beyond the sensory eyes. It means that the ability to see has transcended the limitations of sense perception. Sense perception is such that if i just cover these eyes with my hands, they cannot see beyond them. And in the physical world, there is always something or the other which is blocking perception. So when we say "third eye", it means knowing life in its full depth and dimension.

Though life is made in such a way that it does not need a purpose, to encourage people to explore life a little more, we can say that the purpose of life is to know it in its full depth and dimension; otherwise, you will not understand that life does not need a purpose. Once you grasp that you don't need a purpose, just to be alive is great
