THE PURPOSE OF HUMAN LIFE

[Guest guest]

some quotes from the lectures:

You are not in the world, the world is in you, the moment you think you are in

the world, you become slaves and are tempted by the desires and those ticklish

temptations. While living in this world be every joyful. Let your lives be an

expression of joy in every situation you face. Dont take problems as problems,

but as challenges.

It is not the physical strength, as that will pass away any moment, it is the

inner strength you must build and it is that strength that will take you to

great heights. Mahatma Gandhi and Sathya Sai Baba has proved by their example,

that even with their frail bodies, they are masters due to their inner strength

and control of mind.

spiritual life should be practiced by yourself, and not with someone else. It is

to be practiced by the one to the ONE.

Compete not with others, but to yourself. Break your own records. Improve on

your past performances. Each day should be better than the last. This way you

will produce rewarding results than by competing with others meaninglessly.

A small boy, not even the size of a thumb,in all simplicity and innocence, asked

Swami Anubhavananda "Swami, what is the purpose of HUMAN LIFE?" Swami then asked

the boy "what is the purpose of the eyes?" the boy replied "to see", then came

the 2nd question, "what is the purpose of ears?" the boy replied "to hear".

Then Swami said, "They both have only one purpose, eyes cannot taste or smell,

ears cannot see or touch, everything has only one purpose. Therefore, HUMAN

LIFE has only one purpose, and that, is to REALIZE GOD"
