The Goal of Life
What is the origin of pride? Is it knowledge? No! It is ignorance. What
is the cause of ignorance? It is the feeling of duality. Where did duality
originate? From attachment and hatred. What is the origin of these two? They
are the products of circumstances. How did circumstances come about? Through Karma (past
deeds).
What is the cause of Karma? Birth! Thus be clear that birth is the cause
of all sorrow. Only by seeking freedom from birth that you can free oneself
from sorrow. The opportunity of a human birth must be used for realising this
supreme goal. The duty of parents is to set children on the right path from
their early years. They should not hesitate to correct them and even punish
them when the children take to wrong ways. The best way parents can show their
love for their children is to do everything necessary to lead them on the
righteous path.
