Realise the higher purpose of life......

Every man and every living being aspires to attain peace and happiness. People pursue various paths to experience the everlasting bliss. Everyone aspires to know the objective of life. But they are not able to succeed in their endeavour. One in a million will persist with strong determination and will not give up till he realises the goal. Ordinary mortals will not make any efforts in this direction as they think it is something beyond their reach. They spend their lives in the pursuit of physical and ephemeral pleasures. They are under the delusion that food, raiment and shelter are the three main objectives of human life. They fail to realise that there is a higher purpose in life than this.

Understand the Truth

You are born again and again, seeing, doing and experiencing what you have already seen, done, and experienced. You should realise that you are born not to be born again. You should see and experience that by which your life will find fulfilment. Once you have experienced the Atma, you do not need to experience anything else. That is the oneness of Atmic principle. In order to experience this eternal principle, you should give up body attachment and understand the truth that the Atma in you is the same as the one in others.

Thought for the Day

For the little sweetness that material objects give, Brahman (Divinity), the ocean of nectar is the cause. Association with the knowers of Brahman, discussion with them on the nature of the Absolute in a spirit of humility and earnestness, a thirst for realising the Reality, unwavering Prema (love) towards the Lord - these are characteristics of those established on the path of spirituality. Such people will not be affected by praise or derision, joy or sorrow, honour or dishonour, heat or cold, etc. They will tread the path of liberation free from all attachment.
