What is the purpose of life? This is a question
which does not have a specific answer. Try asking whomever you feel like, the
answers will be too many but there is no explicit answer.
A few enlightened souls say that the purpose of life
is life itself, while some feel the purpose of life is life of purpose. As I
understand the purpose of life is to see that it becomes a purpose for others
to live.
We Indians who are mainly Hindus believe that there
is a ten incarnation of Maha Vishnu yet to happen. He has made a declaration
that He will come every time there is imbalance in Dharma and Adharma. Our
scriptures declared that sin exceed day by day and a point, it will outnumber the
good. At that time, He will appear and save the good. So, we decided to wait.
Wait for Him to come. If we are to wait for Him to come, what is the Purpose of
Life???
When He created all of us, he just simply created. He
gave us intelligence and most importantly intellect. Here I wish to distinguish
between Intelligence and Intellect. Intelligence is Yukthi while Intellect is
Buddhi. Intelligence is used by us for our well-being, while Intellect is to
find the answer for the question “What is the purpose of Life.”
So as humans we have this intelligence to tackle the
outer world and the intellect to manage our inner world. The atrocities
happening at the outer world does not need Him to come to subdue them. The intelligence
in us is enough to take care of it. All we need to do is develop the habit of appreciating
anything which is Sadhaka (Benevolent) and condemn that which is Badhaka (Malevolent)
to the welfare of the society.
Vishnu Purana explaining about Kalki, the ten incarnation
of Maha Vishnu says, He will arrive on a white horse welding a sword in his hand.
As I understand the white horse is the spiritual sense in all of us. As it stands now, the earth plane is witnessing lot of
crime, where a lot of conflict and commotions prevail and this development is
nothing short of dangerous for the future generation. The sword in the hand of
Kalki signifies the ability to distinguish between a saint and a sinner.
A sinner has to be given a chance to live a right life but not a prospect to
improvise his offence.
He is in all of us as Kalki, He
is not waiting to come He is already in us. Hence we celebrate His jayanti today, Shravana Maasa Shukla Paksha Shashthi. Let us be aware of His existence in us and
be proactive to safeguard our society. Let us make this earth plane an envious place for the
divine beings. This would be the purpose of the life, we think of transforming
negative thoughts in our mind to positive thought why not deal with those negative
elements and if possible transform them too. If it is impossible, then as we discard
the negative thought from our mind let us annul the negative elements from our society.
