Goal of life

Swami Chinmayananda

A human life is a rare and invaluable gift — for a human embodiment is only one among eighty-four lakh possible embodiments of life on earth. As such, it is not to be wasted in suffering from egoism, selfishness, fears, anxieties, desires, and cravings — or any other passing unrealities.

The spiritual seeker, who has had enough of the outside world, will not waste his time on the trifles of the day, but will seek the eternal truth within. This is the serious business of life. All other things are secondary. Making a living is necessary, but it is not the purpose of life. If making a living is meant for life — then what is “life” meant for? Can there be anything which is more lasting in value and purpose than realizing the Self, the reality, and transcending all pain and discontent? This moment, this concept, this truth, is the most tremendous truth of life
