PuRpOse oF LiFE

Most people in the world do not understand the purpose of life. Preoccupied with the pursuit of external objects, men do not strive to explore the inner realms of the Atma. Standing on the seashore, one can see only the waves on the surface and not the pearls lying in the depths below. Only the brave man who can dive deep into the ocean will be able to gather the pearls and not others. Likewise, Atma Jnana (knowledge of the Atma) can be gained only by those who turn away from the exploration of the phenomenal world to inquire into the truth of the Spirit.
