We have lived infinite lives in bondage. The bondage of attachment, abhorrence,anger, pride, deceit, greed, etc. Due to this bondage, we are stuck in the cycle of birth and death. The purpose of human life is to get ultimate liberation from this cycle. Ultimate liberation can only be attained after knowing the answer to the question, “Who am I?” This puzzle can only be solved after the realization of the Self. With the grace of the Gnani Purush (Spiritual Master), one can achieve Self Realization and move forward on the path to liberation.
If one does not get the opportunity to attain the knowledge of the Self, then the goal of life should be to use the mind, speech and body to help others. By giving what is yours to others you will get more happiness. It’s just like a tree, which never eats its own fruits. Instead, others enjoy its wood, leaves, fruits and flowers.
Happiness begins the moment you help others. One can help others by donating to charity, giving anonymous donations, or just by making others happy. The law of nature is such that by giving happiness, one will be happy and by giving misery, one becomes miserable. The choice is dependent upon the individual.
