GOAL OF LIFE

What is the goal of your life?? What ???..Speak louder, I couldn’t hear you .. Probably you are thinking and exploring yourself for a suitable answer. My dear if you are thinking to decide about your goal of life after I asked you then you really don’t know it. And this is what happens with most of us .Yes most of us are not aware about their Goal of life. They don’t control their life but the life controls them. They flow with the Fast current of life and never get time to even think of that for what purpose they are here on the Earth. Yes we go on living without any aim, any ambition and before we realize, life fully takes us under its control.

Now for those who at least know about their goal. If you will go out for a survey about goal of life of a person you will get thousand different answers. But when you sit and analyze all you will find that people’s goals are revolving around only three things Money, Name and Inner Harmony (Inner peace).

The first two are very much related and most commonly found Desire in the human being. If one will be granted permission to collect money as much as he can, I assure you he won’t be satisfied even after collecting all money available in this world. It’s a Hunger which never gets satisfied no matter how much you already have. Of course we need money for our better living but is there any definition of this better living. People want to become Bill Gates and Dhirubhai. But do you realize that they didn’t utilize even 1% of their wealth for themselves. So what is the point making so much money for your coming seven generations? I do support that these people are very very important for the growth of a country and society. But it’s a hard truth that county’s growth is only a side effect and they never made money for this intension.

The second one is NAME. Yes this is nothing but the ego and pride of a man. We want to be remembered by others but again WHY????? What makes the difference if people admire you? Yes you feel proud of yourself if you are alive to hear it.. and u get nothing if u already dead. Then why should I run behind Name? Only to feel that ohhh I am Great!!! It’s completely ridiculous. Again like money the hunger for name in a never ending race.

Very few people live for their Inner Harmony or Self Satisfaction. Live the life not only for your name and your money but for your Heart also. One more hunger is also there which we need to develop and it is “The Hunger of knowing oneself". First of all you have to know yourself... What I am and for what reason I am hear. I do support that money is an important part of life but that doesn’t feed to your hunger of self satisfaction. It doesn’t mean that if you are having money and/or name then you are a happy person. The happiness we keep on searching through out our life comes from inside and not from the outer world. The nice feeling of Loving someone, being loved by someone or helping someone is beyond the imagination and one can not buy it by his money or name. Become a human being in reality, look all people with equality and soft heart, try to help the others at your level and above all never give pain to anybody as you do not have authority to do so. Never compare your life with others because no two are same. Make yourself compatible to hear your inner voice and strong enough to follow it.

Try to come out from your shell, pull out some time to think and proceed in the direction your soul is suggesting to go. Keep collecting the beautiful moments of your life but never forget to light a candle on the path which you have already traveled because it will lighten the life of many others who are coming behind.

Neither I want to earn huge money nor to be popular, all I want is to be HAPPY.

Goal of life

1. Eat what I want.
2. Drink water when I am thirsty (even if it cost $2.5 of 500ml); sometimes Bear,wine etc whenever I wanted and situation demanded.
3. "Live till my last breath".

4. Inner Harmony or Self Satisfaction.

I am agree you with all points. I am almost alike you.

The Goal of life is to live a balanced life. Dont paint ur life with one colour. Make life colorful. Make money, become famous and be spiritual at the same time. The best way to achieve all those things is Karmyoga.

Let's do a case study. Ram, Krishna and Buddha, all took birth in a king's house.( What a coincidence!!! Bhagwan ko bhi Rajaon ke ghar pasand aate hain). They all married to some Rajkumari. (Means all Godess preferred to take birth in King's House). So if they prefer, then why not we should prefer.

Dear Ranjeet,
Nice to know some of your innervoices on life and "pursuit of life". you begin by saying that money , Name Fame are the driving force for all our activities and achievements.

But reconciling the thoughts , did you ever feel that one's activity is mostly guided by temporary gains. If you score well in this semester , you always aspire to be the best in the next one. If you get a job of X lpa in your campus, then you throw a fight for a job paying X+10 lpa. These achievements offcourse brings happiness and glory to you , but are all short gains. Atop that, you still find that you deserve something more greater heights . This creeps unsatisfaction.

so , my friend We being a individual of highly populated race always trail a rat race. No space for divine feeling or some space to understand oneself.

World is highly competitive . Survival for the fittest theory never allows anyone to gain inner peace.

some more to come....
