Purpose of Life

Nobody will think about this question when everything is running well in their life. This question will only show up when life gets a little bit of rugged edges, depending on individual's tolerance level.

I think we need a firm purpose to life only when being alive is not sufficient. I feel the most precious thing that you are alive. Right now, the biggest thing in your life is that you are alive.

The mind is always looking for a purpose because people have not experienced life in full. 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 itself. It need not lead you on to something else. Just being exuberantly alive is sufficient unto itself.

Life does not need a purpose of reaching somewhere. That is the beauty of Creation.
