Ordinarily people can see enjoyment of life as the only purpose of life. Yet in their pursuit they face multiple anguished, sadness, painful situations and have more disappointments than success.
And they come back again and again thinking it will be better next time but it is never so
Oh ! So much hardship for a little bit of happiness ! It is a hard lesson to learn. We think being a physician will bring happiness but we quickly see the pain all the way. Long study hours, long work hours, etcetera
Same about marriage – we think a relationship will bring good days. But instead there are fights arguments, hurt feelings financial problems etc
So then why are we here. In the long run , in the last fraction of a second when you are ready to kick the frame permanently you realize it was a waste of time. The only real purpose was to discover your higher self ! This can only be uncovered with deep meditation. Logic cannot take you there. Neither can your intelligence.
Deep meditation with an awakened consciousness is the only way. But a guru is a must to awaken that ! Otherwise it is worthless
