The Purpose of Life?!

Thousands have pondered over it, yet only very few reached anywhere near the answer. Going by the hypothesis that there is indeed a purpose for life, I started pondering over mine.

 

There are certain moments in everybody’s life, moments of purity, I would call them. They are the moments of utter delight at something natural, something simple like the freshness of spring morning, the beauty of a sunrise or the innocent smile of a child!  That particular moment, you do not need anything external to be happy. It just flows out of you, naturally. They are the magical moments when you are happy in spite of the world! They are the moments of purity, trust, innocence and love, the moments of real learning! The more one observes nature, the more often would such moments happen. The purpose of life then would be to carry back these moments and learning into the daily life and to let the purity enter the thoughts, words and actions, into every aspect of day to day life. Then there comes as spontaneity in whatever one does, certain freshness in every action. Being accepting, loving and giving, always and unconditionally would be the outcome of such purity. Becoming a reflection of that purity found in nature and being able to weave those magical moments such that they occupy ALL the moments seems to be the purpose of life, at least for me, for now!

 

PS: By spontaneity I don’t mean randomness.  There is an unmistakable rhythm in the spontaneity of nature! Sun raises everyday, seasons occur and re-occur, but no two sunrises are the same! Nor are any two springs!
