PURPOSE OF HUMAN LIFE AND ITS ENDEAVOR

PURPOSE OF HUMAN LIFE AND ITS ENDEAVOR
1)    Most of us, knowingly or unknowingly, spend most of our life in search of some ‘permanent-unchanging’ state of ‘happiness’ that would remain with us always under all circumstances.
2)     And most of us do Not know the ‘identity’ of such entity or state in our life.
3)    Yet the search goes on and on, motivated and activated by some unknown sense of ‘separation or disconnect’ from the origin of ‘the source of that happiness’.
The wisdom of our sages discovered with their ‘common-sense’ that the only changeless entity upon which all this ever changing play is being projected is ‘the truth’ of our own real self; our own truest self ‘the atma self’,  the blissful and joyful’ self; what is commonly known  as our ‘God self’. They called it ‘sat chit ananda’ i.e. truth awareness bliss. It means, “awareness of truth alone can bring bliss or permanent happiness in our life”.
It means, we are never disconnected from the truth, we cannot be. We only need to become ‘aware’ of our own truth to experience and enjoy permanent bliss even while living in this body mind complex.

1.     Since time immemorial, the purpose of all human endeavor has been persuasion of happiness and joy but the tragedy of all our effort is that more we pursue it, the more it deludes us! So, there has to be some ‘key’, some kind of ‘catch’ into all this which we all have not been able to find, so far!
2.     “The more you give, the more you get”; is an irrevocable law of nature that we so often forget! We can choose to  live, to give and forgive ‘gracefully’  and receive His grace abundantly & gratefully; OR, we can choose to live miserly & ungratefully  and leave this world and its wealth disgracefully &  miserably.
3.     But, the real ‘catch’ is that you can not give what you do not have!! Hence, we first need to ‘be happy’ to make others happy to make our God happy with us.
4.     “It is strange but true that when we give our food to a needy person & go hungry, we actually feel stronger, healthier & happier!”
5.     We all can experience the happiness & the strength of joyful giving, selfless serving & fearless forgiving.
