Purpose

There has to be a purpose behind each and everything. This has been agreed by everyone including theist and atheist. I would like to quote from a wonderful book that I read "Living with Himalayan Masters" by Swami Rama here:

“I wanted to pick the flower and considered pulling it out and taking the whole plant to my master. I compared own life to this lotus and said like an irresponsible, joyous child, “What will happen to you if I crush your petals?”

The lotus replied, “I will be glad, for my fragrance will radiate everywhere and the purpose of my life will be fulfilled.”
 

Everything which is movable, immovable, perishable, invisible, manmade, natural things have their own purpose. For example

1.       Chair – To sit

2.       Water – To quench the thirst

3.       Pen – To write

4.       TV – To provide entertainment

I can keep on adding the list, but that's not the purpose of this article. Why we are here in this planet and what is our purpose as humans? I don’t know the answer and still keep thinking about this all the time. Please fill in your views in comments. Thanks for reading and sharing!
