Is There A Purpose To Life?

On the surface,
the nature of this world is ignorance and confusion about reality,
which creates emotions.

But these emotions can dawn as wisdom.
That is the purpose of life – to realise we are pure consciousness
which opens the mind through clarity.

Some commentators say, “There is no purpose to life”. How do they know?
Conversely, just accepting a claim that there is a purpose to life isn’t enough. How do we know?

Nature isn’t in chaos. It is driven by the laws of attraction and repulsion, bringing about causes and effects. We come under these same laws, which manifest as our emotions of likes and dislikes, resulting in pride and jealousy. When we ignore these emotions, then we live in a world of chaos and confusion.

The purpose of life is to realise what is gross, and what is subtle wisdom. We must decide for ourselves. We might mistake ‘authority’ for truth, when it is our recognition that is the authority. Just because someone says something is true doesn’t mean it’s the truth. Truth is only realised by the individual, rather than by anyone else’s say-so; that is just accepting a purpose but not manifesting evidence of compassionate understanding.

When life has meaning, it’s such a relief … from suffering. 🙂
