If we really try to understand the meaning of life... all becomes clear! Who are we, why do we live, what is the meaning of death, why do we suffer, what is the meaning of happiness... the list of queries is endless! Life has as a very deep imbibed meaning... we only need to read between the lines! Those indulging in wanton desires and materialistic riches fail to understand the real meaning of life! Such people always get bogged down at one point of time!

Life was never meant to be monotonous! If only happiness existed... man would not be happy! Neither if only sufferings existed! Life is a journey... never a destination! As we live life... the path unfolds itself! As we mature... the intricacies of life become clearer to us! Those who gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) reach the end of cosmic life. They become the knower of all. Nothing more to learn in life... such enlightened souls finally gain salvation (moksha)!

For those indulging in wanton desires and materialistic riches... life has an absolutely different meaning! For them becoming wealthy is the end of all! No matter what... they simply want to become rich overnight. For them the means have become an end! Such human beings truly are a worthless lot existing on Mother Earth. When comes the opportune moment... such people vanish into thin air... the society feeling reprieved!

Those who take charge of life early manifest destiny. Such people understand the underlying cosmic truth. It is our soul atman residing within our heart that is the sole owner of the body. It is not within the capability of the body to manifest a soul atman within. A man of wisdom ultimately realizes that the fruits of karma always belong to the soul atman within and never the body... the human being! Why not continue doing karma... the Nishakama karma way!

Bhagavad Gita... the doctrine given to man and by Lord Krishna makes it explicitly clear that man is but a pawn in the hands of God Almighty. We simply do the bidding of our soul atman within. We come unto this mother earth not of our own! We simply get born! The soul atman within manifests body to work out its karma... remove the dross within! The moment complete dross removes... one reaches the last leg of cosmic life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation!

Bhagavad Gita also clarifies that every single entity in the cosmic system... every individual human being has a unique identity in the whole cosmos! Each one of us has a specific task to accomplish. What is our destiny... what is our goal of life... is what life is all about! We need to find the goal of our life by hearing the sweet small inner voice of our soul atman within that seems to come from within our heart! Establishing a goal in life is journey half completed.

Establishing a goal in life is the most essential necessity in the life of a human being! Above 95% people on Mother Earth do not care to have a goal in life. They wither away the precious moments like a rudderless boat going round and round in the ocean! Having finalized a goal and going after it with all eggs in one basket with the bulldog determination of Winston Churchill... one finally transcends life forever! I again repeat... life is not a destination but a journey!

Purpose of life
Is there a purpose of life? What does it mean when men of wisdom say there is always a purpose in life? If there is life's purpose then why do most people while away their life without ever finding a purpose in life? What use living a purpose driven life without a defined purpose?

Remaining content
Real contentment follows when we choose a goal in life that corresponds dearly to our heart. Choosing a goal in life... a profession that is dear to our heart is the essence of life. It is then we forget the bondage of time and life itself. Lucky are those who follow the dictates of dreams of their calling. Every successful entrepreneur does this. Behind every success, every contentment lay the seed of choosing a perfect goal in life dear to our heart.

Intangible values Life
It is a hundred percent fact that most things in life are intangible! The mind power... how it operates is clear to none except enlightened souls who gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and salvation (moksha). The clue behind intangibles are only known to enlightened ones like Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or prophet Mohammed!

Life after Death
One who states life does not exist after death... can never be termed educated or successful in life! Why? It is for the simple reason that death is an integral part of cosmic life! Only when the soul atman manifests a body... a human being is born... never of its own! Our soul atman within is the master and controller of the body.

Chessboard of Life
In the chessboard of life we initially start as a pawn... the most elementary form of life... nothing within our control! As life passes by... until after 7.3 million manifestations in the insect, plant and animal form... we finally reach level of human beings! As human beings we sometimes behave like a Knight and sometimes a stallion!
