Talk 558

4th August, 1938

A visitor asked: “Sri Bhagavan! When I heard of you, a strong desire arose in me to see you. Why should it be so?”

M.: The desire arose in the same way as the body arises to the Self.

D.: What is the purpose of life?

M.: To seek to know the significance of life is itself the result of good in past births. Those who do not seek such knowledge are simply wasting their lives.
