Goal of Life

 

 

People may have various desires or goals in life, but basically everyone is searching for the same ultimate thing, which is perfection and Self Realization. Some are searching outside while others search inward. One has to choose the SELF or the NON-SELF (world.) The direction toward self brings freedom and peace, while the direction toward non-self brings bondage and suffering. Self is the innermost core of our being. Self is the source of bliss. Self is ours at all times. Self was before birth and will survive death. Self is there during sleep and when we are unconscious. Everyone has the potential to realize self and to become free. Non-self (world) is everything outside of the self. It changes constantly. It gives an illusion of happiness. We can not control it or hold on to it. Even if we find success, no person, thing or situation can give us lasting happiness. One can find true happiness, if one learns the art of balancing life while maintaining an awareness of the higher self.
