Purpose of Human Life

SYNOPSIS: The article focuses on the very purpose of human life. The article highlights that when born in human body, what should be our priority. When we are alone and in tranquil state, did we ever thought or have even made an effort to think why we are blessed with a Human life. After being born in 8.4 million different bodies of aquatic, terrestrial, subaerial and flora, we get a human body. (According to Hindu mythology, soul is immortal but the soul gets a human body after rotation in 8.4 million different bodies). Bestowing HIS kindness & mercy Almighty GOD has blessed us presently with a Human body. Human body is a great and singular opportunity given by our kind and merciful FATHER. It is a platform for us to unshackle ourself once and for all, from the miseries of never-ending cycle of 8.4 million births and rebirths. But are we working towards achieving this goal or have we over-engaged ourself in unpurposeful worldliness . We must understand that our topmost priority should be to fulfill the essence and purpose of human life. To achieve this goal, we have to keep ourself engaged only in limited worldliness. We must now understand the meaning of limited worldliness. It means to have equitable and harmonious relationship with all but at the same time avoid over-engagement in unpurposeful worldliness with anyone. If and when necessary we must keep limited worldliness. Because it is much better that full fledged worldliness where we waste a big part of our time, age and energy. It is a pity that with this wastage, we are devoid of time, age & energy for fulfillment of the real purpose of human life, and thus a GOD-gifted golden opportunity goes in vain. The best way to fulfill the purpose of human life is by unfaltering devotion towards GOD. Pious / Religious zeal is the essence of human life and should be the ultimate goal , when born in human body. This is because it can unshackle the cycle of births & rebirths. From ordinary luxury, to which we are accustomed, it can lead to divine delight and then to divine elated ecstasy . But unfortunately we indulge ourselves in too much worldliness and ordinary luxuries and yet feel satisfied in our human endeavor. Here two adage/proverbs fit very well. First adage/proverb: - A frog of a pond enjoys the limited pond water and is unaware of the splendor & versatility of a river or an ocean. Likewise we enjoy the ordinary luxuries of the world and are unaware of the grandeur of Pietism, the river which undergoes a fusion/unification with the ocean, the ALMIGHTY GOD. Second adage/proverb: - If someone has not eaten a mango in his lifetime, he won’t be able to judge its sweet taste. Unless eaten by self, no one can explain the sweetness. Likewise one has to experience the divine delight by virtue of practicing Religious zeal and thereafter with its vigorous persuasion can attain the highest platform of divine elated ecstasy . Unless experienced by self, like sweetness of mango, this cannot be explained. Therefore we must not be satisfied like a frog in a pond with ordinary luxuries & worldliness, but through Religious zeal try to attain divine delight and then divine elated ecstasy . This is the road that will lead to an audience with ALMIGHTY GOD. This is also the road to unification / oneness of an individual soul with the UNIVERSAL SOUL. And most importantly, this is the road that enables fulfillment of the very purpose of human life.
