Question: What is the aim of life?

[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To all,

 

What is the aim of life?

 

Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:

 

The world is now plagued with acts of terrorism; many lose lives due to such

acts. To add to this, we have natural calamities striking every now and then,

leaving a gory trail of lost lives. We find in this world, there are many whose

spouse is not loving and caring. Their whole life goes 'lifeless' because of

this. If spouse is loving and caring, the children may not be, adding to woes of

life. There is always a threat to body in form of diseases which attack

unexpectedly.

 

If we look around, we find so many carrying a heavy load to earn a few rupees

every day. Many toil in hot sun with boiling tar to lay roads. While we feel

disgusted with our own sweat and excreta, there are many who get into the

gutters to clean them to earn a few rupees everyday.

 

Many are devoid of function of a sense organ like speech or vision or limbs.

Even if all these are taken care of, with good health, decent living and living

family, many do not even understand the transient nature of life and waste their

life in sense pleasures.

 

Seeing all the turmoil in this world with our body, with our surroundings and so

much sorrow in the world, would we want to come back again and again in this

world?

 

So should the aim of life to stop this vicious cycle of birth and death? The aim

is to liberate ourselves from all these pains isn't it?

 

To chant the Divine Name with gratitude and love, to love the Lord with all our

heart when we are reasonably comfortable in life. -- should this not be the aim

of life?

 

So, chanting the Name of Lord, chanting the Mahamantra when we are still hale,

healthy and fit, with humility, faith and love – That should be the aim in

life.

 

Regards & Chant the maha mantra

 

Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

 

and be happy
