PURPOSE OF LIFE.

What is the purpose of  life? How many of us know the purpose of  life.  Are we born to eat and sleep?  Are we born to enjoy the worldly pleasures.  Do all the pleasures give us utmost satisfaction?  "Awake, arise stop not till the goal is reached" -  Swami Vivekananda.        What  should be our goal?
If we are asked this question then our reply would be I want to become a doctor engineer IAS IPS etc etc. if  we are students , then marriage, then  children  then childrens'  marriage and then marriage of grand children great grand children. Are these  our goals? Again I stress what is our goal ? this  question should come to us itself  in the early age.  What is benefit if this question comes to us at a later period of life?  But Alas! 99.9% of  people realise this at their older age.  That too due to vexation alone this comes?We cannot achieve anything after we get old age.

HI Hi stop it?    What are you saying?   No No asking too many questions?  What you are going to
tell   us.   Tell it shortly and sweetly.   I am hearing this murmur from you.   OK OK I will tell you.
First ask yourself  who I am.   If you identify ourselves as son/daughter of so and so , father mother of so and so brother sister of so and so and so on is this a  permanent  relationship?   We do not know what we were our previous birth, what we would  be our next birth.  Isn't it?   Next,if we think our body  is I am what did people say  if the life force energy leaves fro one's the body.   They say that it is the  body of  X  body of Y.  So it is clear that the body is not I am.  Can we say our Life force Energy is I am.  Can you identify the Life force energy without a body.   So life force energy is not also  I am  Then can we say our mind is I am.   Without body and Life force energy where comes mind?  So Mind is also not I am.  

Hi confusing master,  I think you can't say anything clear.  Stop it I say.  I have so many business to do.  Will you please stop it?   I hear you clearly murmuring these words>   Hello  it is not so easy to realise one's self  within a fraction of second.   If you can't hear this patiently how it is possible for you to reach the goal?

I don't want to test your patience any further.   Our conscience (ARIVU) alone I am .  By this conscience alone we can see things, realise what it is and know which is wrong and which is right  etc.   So Our conscience alone is I am.

With this conscience one begin to think  who am I ? where from  I come  and where will I go, what for I am born  why there is suffering,  does god exist?  is he the supreme power? Is he compassionate towards his creations?  Then why he is giving us so  much sufferings?  Why there  is disparity. while certain people enjoy all the pleasures, certain people  are suffering even  for his daily bread?  If these questions pour in your mind then give me your hands to shake.  Really you enter into the world of realising y ourself

The scientists are researching  the nature from bottom to top whereas the philosopher researches from top to bottom   The scientists have reached  upto ether and recently they identified dust particle. But the philosophers  had come to know the  origin of the Universe long back.

  The one and only origin which is in abundant and never decreasing in its volume strength knowledge the one which has a abundant strength, one which has a supreme knowledge, and one which has time is the absolute space.  It was exisiting, it is existing and it will be existing.  The absolute space alone has formed into so many living and nonliving things by way of transformation.

In the words of Vedhathiri Maharishi

ஆதியெனும் பரம்பொருள்  மெய் எழுச்சி  பெற்று
     அணு வென்ற உயிராகி  அணுக்கள்  கூடி
மோதி இணைந்து  இயங்குகின்ற நிலைமைக்கேற்ப
  மூலகங்கள் பலவாகி  அவை  இணைந்து
பேதித்த  அண்டகோடிகளாய்


நும் THAYUMANAVAR tells that ARIVE DEIVAM,
