The Purpose of Life
To a superficial observer, life appears to revolve around eating and
drinking, working, and sleeping. But verily life has a much deeper significance.
Life is a sacrifice. Every little act is an offering to the Lord.
If your days are spent in deeds performed in this spirit of surrender, your
sleep would be a total immersion in the Divine Consciousness!
Most people commit the great fault of identifying themselves with the
body and accumulate a variety of things for its upkeep and comfort. When the
body becomes weak and decrepit with age, they still attempt to bolster it by
one means or the other. How long can death be postponed? When Lord of Death’s warrant
comes, everyone must depart. Position, pride, and power - all vanish before
death. Remember, you are not this body! It is your vehicle to serve all.
Realising this, strive day and night, with purity in body, mind and spirit, to
realise the Higher Self.
