After having searched for, and contemplating on, ‘the purpose of life’ in books, discourses, meditation etc., whatever experience, wisdom and knowledge I have been able to gather from inside and outside myself tells me that life’s only purpose is to simply live it! It’s as simple as that. Yes, life’s only purpose is to live it! Everything boils down to this conclusion at last.

Next question is what is meant by ‘living life’? To live life for me is to be aware and conscious of each and every passing moment of it. If we are alert, we live; the moment we are not alert we waste it, we are dead. Quite unfortunately, most of the human lifetime is spent in unawareness and unconsciousness.

Even to concentrate on one’s breathing (being alert and aware) takes a lifetime’s practice and sometimes even more! This shows how unconscious we are! How lost we are!

Try to follow your breathing and you shall know for yourself how dead or alive you are! 🙂
