Hiya Ppz,

I am a newbie on this site but not a newbie in this world.
I threw a very strong ques for my first post itself -- "Purpose of Life"  

But, I guess its a very eligible question for Forum like " Living Style and LifeStyle". Afterall, what we believe is purpose of life can only dictate How we live it.

the Purpose for Living..?
What could it be?
Wont take more than 2 mins..!
Do post ur replies..
Lets see how many interesting answers we get here..  :

HIIIIIIIIIIIIIII to ALLLLLLLLLLLLL

Here is saying from Leo C..........

I think the purpose of life is not only to be Happy,
But I think the purpose of life is to be useful, to be responsible,
to be honourable, to be compassionate,
it is above all, to matter, to count, to stand for something,to have made some differnce that you lived at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, it's a MATRIX, u see, we are at the bottom of it, or rather just above the things we know, or the things we think we have conquered. There is something above us, maybe we are smart enough to atleast imagine that something's above us, more powerful than us, looking at us, some of us believe it helps us, when we ask for help. and strange things have happened around us for being able to completely rule out that fact of the existance of that power which we call THE GOD.

Now, God which I believe is there, is looking at us, rather analysing us, we might just be as important as the guinea pigs in his laboratory. and this whole world is a system that GOD have managed to build. which is self-sustaining, and compltely out of flaws, it works on TIT for TAT basis, everybody get what they deserve. It's some complex arithmatic.

so in my view with the impatience, social rift among communities, hatred, obscene behaviour and yes the things which we all know (I'm kinda short of words at the moment) are BAD are on the verge of STEEP rise!!! There is an equivalent amount of destruction is taking place alongwith it. This system designed by GOD is getting un-balanced!! As the amount of GOOD is reducing with Amount of BAD things are on RISE an this system is leading to the SELF_DESTRUCTION!!!!!!

SO, C'mon guys instead of being just the Guinea PIGS let's make things RIGHT!!!!

Let's remove the HATRED, POVERTY, SOCIAL GAP between us I guess atleast these few things are in our hands!!!

I think that's OUR PURPOSE OF LIFE!!!

[coolgirl]

well ruchika i wrote a short poem but in urdu dats will define wht a purpose of life here it is!

mila hath se hath
mita yeh duriyan
na koi alag hai na koi juda
baahat sirf khushiyan..


sun dil ki baat kya kehta hai yeh
iss zindagi ke maksad ko janle
na kuch laaye the
na lejayega
bas pyari baatein do char karle
bhula har gham ko
hasa bas sabko
na koi alag hai na koi juda
baaht sirf khushiyan....

Hi  

Sorry for delayed reply to thread(keeping too busy off late).

Anyways, I am really impressed with the quality of answers by you all.

Mine was eat, drink and be merry..may be kal ho na ho. But, it shattered away with some realisations.

Let me add a little what I learnt about life(its just i m talking frm my experience)..What we want is happiness in life and we struggle hard day and night..bottom line is happiness and satisfaction..


Now, comes the point what are we living for??
Lets consider what is common between all the living entities(be it a small cat or a big elephant or a human like me)...wat they do in thr whole life.
1.Defending.
2.Eating.
3.Sleeping.
4.Mating.

Animals do all the above four without realising the fact and imp they dont have to struggle day-in and day-out to get these things done but pity we humans..we have to struggle 14 hrs a day(its getting 20 hrs a day) to get all these things done.
Its just we are doing the same things in a more sophisticated manner..by living in furnished houses, eating in resorts,...that means "Am I just one sophisticated animal..whos supposed to struggle to drive the happiness from life harder thn a dog or monkey on the branch"

This is the first thing that struck me..we are given higher concious level..whats the purpose behind it..we know what are we doing?? even thn we do not realise..there must be a reason to give such a higher level of conciousness..there must be some missing link in this whole mystery.Now, its upto us if we make an effort to fix this mystery or not...n ur putting ques on death n life..shows that u r very much interested..

There are many ques..like whats the difference btw dead body n living body?? all the chemicals r thr,evrything is thr..wats the missing link btw two??

let i m xyz..if u ask me whrs xyz..i can point to one part of my body(but hey thats my chest, thats my hand..but whrs me)..theres difference btw ME and MY..this is my hand but not me..common sense you see..

nmarskhole said :"this system is leading to the SELF_DESTRUCTION!!!!!!"..yes, so we have to get up and find the ans..there are ans to all this and much more but we need to develop that quest first.

Vijayajmer said:"to give best to whole world"..yes we owe it to all..but without knowing whats the best way to fulfil this debt ..we will fail miserably..stats shows the number of deaths in violence in last one century are more thn the entire recorded history of last 18 centuries.

a4ajit said:"yes, love..love without any manifestations..no hidden motives..a truly selfless love...only mother's love is as pure as that.. evn in this age of quarrel and hipocrisy its on verge of death.."people started eating fetus in Taiwan".

If any of above points strike ur imagination..i may continue..
btw..if u believe in darwin theory of evolution of us comign frm monkey(its been proved wrong..because darwin put some mental speculations only)..Also, science said : All cells in body change evry 7 yrs but neurons(brain cells)..but let me tell you, scienctists corrected this to" even neurons are completely cahnged evry 5 or 7 yrs" So, we completely undergo complete change at minuest level of this body..ques" what remains same".

n something so well defined..with taller trees in cold areaa and shady trees in warm places...i dnt think so thy can come frm big-bang..i wonder y dint bang in hiroshima resulted in sth gud n so well defined..

knits said:"purpose of life is to be respectful,
to be honourable, to be compassionate,
it is above all, to matter, to count, to stand for something" ..yeah lets find out what will deserve all such accolades.

coolgirl:" nice poem" ..hope we all can live it to this..and give love to all and the purpose to live life in state of proper conciousness..love will flow..

All this changed my purpose of life and I am just trying to unfold these ques.

Krishan said: "Self Realisation". Thats my purpose too.

Thankyou all for listening to me.

Respected all participants on board
Thanks to all for participating in this useful topics & main thanks to the person who has brought out such good thoughts.
The real goal of any JEEV is to reach ultimate destination of MOKSHA & by going thru few of the answers i think it is corect tht by adopting kindness etc good deeds we would be progressing towards the goal only but tht is ll junctions only or small stoppages stations only but the purpose of life should be MOKSHA only & tht could be achieved by many many ways & according to our karmas purusharths capacities e'1 has to chose his choices & try it but there can't be thumb rule to reach it & it can vary from ppl to ppl or rather jeevs
Depending on further continuity from other members i shall join again for the further discussions
Thanks for giving this oppornunity  Mahendra Guntur

hi all

everyone having different opinions abt purpose of life

in my opionion

simplicity is mother of nature (lead as a simple life)

first be a human being then hindu muslim and christian (proud to be an indian)

happiness means not only money, little little things we cant to buy that  we will feel that heartfully

whether it is happiness or sarrow

wn am walking alone on path  i will try to find happiness in my heart hw??
its natural bt quite happy ... like babies cries, flower smiles, dancing  trees, monkies jumpings:):)thoughtful breeze etc !!!its god's biggest unasked  painted gift for our human life...so save our nature
at the same time wn i am seeing poor and aged people that time my heart starts to cry???
that time i pray god and asking like this  
god give me strength to help this poor people as a simple drop in ur big ocean till my last breath...

in my path kindness, happiness,love,courage everything  filling in my  life's purpose with god's blessings!

tnx after a long time our friend lady smilyflower had replied on the running topic & as i too was out of station for a long time i too took so much of time to read tht 2day only & want to continue it for others' also to throw their views so we all can learn more in life form each other pl come fw.

Yes daughter u r 100% right tht basically all the good things u wrote only makes us as a human being first & letting us to progress further & all the things u wrote r all the part of ananat GUNS of ATMA & for realising them the first step & most foundation step is what u had expressed as in 2day's hectic life we all hv forgotten the simple basic things of enjoying our own natural surroundings appreciating them etc so it is the starting point no doubt abt it.
Then slowly once it is coming we must start realising our own inner atma which is only unseen,but with ananat GUNS,observing capacities,feelings,real bhav etc with anant sakthi & as any one can know tht no one in the universe can help all,every time & in every circumstances but to reach Moksha mainly the real sudh inner bhav for each jeev is more important with full detachments of feelings whether good or bad just to keep us as knower & seer & keepig detached but as i had already said there r many many ways to reach moksha so htere is n thumb rule tht only with one path only we can reach there.

the Purpose for Living..?

What could it be?
