The Goal of Human Life
Life is short. Make the most of it by living in God. Everyday that passes brings you nearer to the end, when you shall have to depart from the world leaving behind everything which you hugged as your own. Life lived in the thought of God is a life lived in true joy and peace. Else it is a lengthening chain of woe that drags you ultimately to the terrifying jaws of death.
Human life is solely intended for the enjoyment of eternal bliss. If, on the other hand, a man makes it a hot-bed of cares, anxieties, fears and doubts, he would only be wasting a rare and precious gift which God has granted him.
Man’s greatness lies not In fading laurels won In earthly riches gained In days of wanton revelry. Man can rise above man To everlasting glory To deathless beatitude To immortal Life and Joy.
The object of human life is to realise the joy and peace of the indwelling God.
Man’s quest for happiness can end only by his realising the fountain of Eternal Joy residing within himself.
Human life is a magnificent gift of God. Raise it beyond the range of mental conceptions and cogitations. Lift it beyond the relative, conditioned and fettered entanglements of the ever changing phenomenal life so that it might know itself as the ever free, ever blissful and ever existing Reality.
The upward flight of the soul is always towards its perfect identity with the Great One who is the same through and in all. The river of life struggles through all obstacles and conditions to reach the vast and infinite ocean of existence – God. It knows no rest, no freedom and no peace until it mingles with the waters of immortality and delights in the vision of infinity.
