What is the purpose of a butterfly? To complete its life cycle
starting from an egg to becoming a butterfly. What is the purpose of a
bird? It is the same, to complete its life cycle. Darwin has proved it
through the theory of evolution, that man is just another animal. The
purpose of man too is to complete his life cycle in harmony, to bring
forth new life and then to dissolve into the earth like every other
living entity.
Why then, are we so confused about our purpose in life? We confuse our purpose with our profession. From the early days of our childhood, we are single-mindedly groomed towards choosing a profession.
Our profession is not our purpose!
To live in harmony is our purpose!
To promote the health and wellness of the earth and all that lives on it is our purpose!
Continuation of life on this earth is our purpose!
Nature, the greatest equalizer has the same purpose for all living beings. The purpose of life is the same no matter where on earth you were born, whether you were born rich or poor. Every man's health, happiness and full-fillment is tied to how closely we are aligned to this purpose. Our life's work must be our own betterment and the betterment of anybody and anything that crosses our path. Preoccupation with our professions, goals and career ambitions neglecting our purpose will eventually lead to sadness, regret and ill health adversely affecting us and all our loved ones.
The purpose of life is to “live in agreement with nature" - Zeno, Greek Philosopher, 4th Century B.C
The highest education is that which does not merely give us information but makes our life in harmony with all existence - Rabindranath Tagore
What is the meaning of life? To be happy and useful. - Dalai Lama
