Q. What is the purpose of life?
A. Purpose of life is to understand and realize that there is no purpose for life.
It might sound crazy.
To come to this understanding we have to come to a halt from whatever we are doing, from whatever we are thinking, from whatever we are dreaming, from whatever we are aspiring, from whatever we are trying to achieve as a goal or objective or a fulfillment.
We have to stop for a moment from everything and come to a complete halt, then and then only the Heart would be able to really respond and become aware of that eternal purpose of life and that...that "there is no purpose".
And what does that mean that "there is no purpose"?
No purpose means:
- no goals
- no objectives
- no expectations from anyone or anything or any work
- no expectations from thoughts also.
And this having no purpose will clear us from all the entanglements. And the body for which it is born, it will fulfill its purpose. It will do for what it came for and perish after fulfilling its purpose.
We can see this body raising and falling. We are simply that Eternal Awareness.
And as long as this body exists we have to be very alert and understand what is that this body requires and respond to it and absolutely not to the mind. And the body's signals are very subtle, subtler than mind's signals. Most of the times the body's signals are dominated by the interference of the mind. That is where we always fall into trouble and create so many troubles in this world and make others living also miserable.
Our responsibility as a human being will be to be peaceful and let that peace prevail all through the Cosmos. And, that can happen only when we do not have any purpose to gain or lose. And, that is what living without purpose means.
If we have to do a job, we just do it. We plan for all the activities and just perform it without anticipating for any result. And, that is what without purpose means.
Everything and every activity that we perform need to be performed without any motive or without any purpose. We just do for doing sake and nothing. We perform every activity but let go everything, every feeling, every attachment. And, that is what without purpose means.
Everything happens all by itself. We as with our ego does not have any role to play. We just have to go along with the Cosmic plan. Just play our role as a body and not as a mind. This point is very subtle.
Finally there is only nothingness and we are that Nothingness or Emptiness beyond all concepts, ideas, idiosyncrasies, egos. And, that is what our purpose is; to awaken to that Nothingness or Emptiness and become aware of that Nothingness or Emptiness.

We often read or hear about inspiring stories from religion or from history about unique individuals who seemed to have known what their destiny was the moment they were born and went on to accomplish great things in life. purpose of life
