When I started the Spiritual and Paranormal book club, one young lady asked a lot of questions. She was curious to find out all that she didn't know. By the end of the session she said "I have read all these books that say that everyone is here for a purpose. I just want to know what's my purpose in this life? Why am I here?". Nobody had an answer.
After that I thought a lot. Does everyone have a different purpose in life? Is my purpose different from hers? If that was the case, we all would have different needs.
I see that the needs of all animals including humans are all the same and our behaviours are all the same. We all need to eat and we all love our offsprings. We all fight with our neighbours to get ahead of the pack. We all suffer from the same problems. If I earned little bit more, I would get to the next level. The race of the next level never finishes and we keep asking for more.
Until, we look back at someone lower than us and suddenly realised how high I have jumped. Suddenly, we feel releaved. Then, we think of a different goal. Instead of pushing ourselves up, we start thinking of pulling someone up a level. Although, this action doesn't help us go higher; it gives us a level of satisfaction each time we help someone.
The game has changed at this point. It's no longer about fulfilling your goals but helping others fulfil theirs. In chasing your own goals and competing; there is jealousy, suffering and despair but in helping others fulfil their dreams is empathy, satisfaction and joy.
The purpose of collection of information, keeping secrets and making money is to find peace and happiness. We realise through experience that when we reach our death bed, the only regret we have is that we didn't spend enough time with our loved one's exhibiting our love for them regardless of all disagreements and wrong doings.
We realise that world is not going to miss us because we didn't do anything to change the wider world, only took little risks and actions, enough to feed our families and ourselves while somewhere else they kept dying of hunger, war and famine.
The only regret remains with us, "I wish I was bold enough to stand up for all that I wanted to stand up for". Somewhere in those moments we take another pledge to take birth again and do it right next time. Soon after birth, we again forget our own promise to ourselves and we keep coming back to set things right for once and end up making mistakes again and again.
We spent our whole lives being at war with ourselves. We want one thing but do another because of someone else expectations. Where did it all start? At school. We wanted to play and have fun but we were told to compete with our fellow students. We were separated from each other by grading the students and telling some that they were smarter and superior than others. Therefore, the smarter ones deserve better pay and more luxuries. We divided the human race and segregated the society.
Do we ever behave like this at a party? We go to Friday night party just to have fun with friends, not to judge them for better or worse; just to have fun. We came to life to have a great time with others, not to compete with them or to judge them. We were brainwashed at an early age and we forgot our purpose and lost our way.
The purpose of every life is to enjoy life, reach unconditional love, help others enjoy their stay on this earth. We can't have fun just by ourself. We need to play with others nicely. When we all are happy, we all are at peace. Stop judging others, you are ruining others fun when you judge them.
Life is a party, enjoy it with friends. Nobody came here to pick a fight. It's just unfortunate that we end up fighting. Once started, this momentum doesn't stop. We have been taking sides and fighting for long. We have created institutions that ensure that lifetime after lifetime they keep brainwashing us since childhood and we end up ruining our party time, every time.
