THE PURPOSE OF LIFE
Any time in history can be known for what it gives importance to. This is how we decipher ancient civilizations. And in our times, going by social trend and corporate norm, it would appear that the important things in life are , to have:
Extravagant food
Designer clothes
Posh car
Palatial house
Big bank balance
Connection with important people
Being president of the club
But in the ultimate analysis, these cannot be of much use ,especially at the end of your life when you are making a mental balance sheet of how you actually lived. If you had all these but do not know who you really are, because you are not your clothes, or car, the position you have or the people you know!
Too late, we turn to the mystics, who say you are actually the eternal soul, who has come to gather more experience for itself.
To realise that you are a part of Shiva, and Shiva is not about all the things mentioned above.
Shiva is actually all the lofty words you use for an ideal God:
Love, compassion, kindness, harmony, wisdom, and caring.
How much of this have you been, or will try to be?
Dive within, find out the truth, and live once again.
A word for those who want to examine this from the scope of marriage: It is not about a trendy life partner, but an eternal soulmate.
Aum Namah Shivaye.
