|| The Purpose of Life is to Find God ||
We should realize that we are visiting this earth only temporarily ; we are here solely to learn necessary lessons and to help all who cross our path . We do not know why we have been cast in a particular role , so we must learn what God expects of us . Don't harbour personal desires ; our only desire should be to follow the Lord's will and to live and work for Him . We are here today , tomorrow we are gone : mere shadows in a cosmic dream . But behind the unreality of these fleeting pictures is the immortal reality of Spirit . Life here on earth appears futile and chaotic until we are anchored in the Divine . Do not concentrate upon ephemeral worldly goals and human attachments . Such fanaticism takes your mind away from the Lord and your eternal Self in Him . " He who has overcome attachment both to sense objects and to actions , and who is free from ego-instigated plannings --that man is said to have attained firm union of soul with Spirit ." ( Gita 6 / 4 ) .
Until you realize that God is more important than anything else , and until you spend your life in seeking to please Him , you are not spiritually evolved at all . That is the Power you should trust , the Power through which you can find guidance , happiness , strength and freedom . That is the Power which will give you emancipation . No other duty is important if it takes your thought and desire away from your duty to God ; all else is illusion . This earth is a foreign land ; we are not in our own Home . In an instant you may be required to leave this world ; you will have to cancel all your engagements . Why then give any other activity first importance , with the result that you have no time for God ? That is not common sense . It is because of Maya ( cosmic delusion ) , which is thrown over us , that we entangle ourselves in mundane interests and forget the Lord .
While you are well and strong , do not spend your time on foolishness . God understands everything ; He knows He has sent us to this terrible place . He grieves in His heart at our sufferings . Nothing hurts Him more than to see us grovel in the mud of delusion . He wants us to come back Home . And to those who make the effort to know Him , He responds : " From sheer compassion I , the Divine Indweller , set alight in them the radiant lamp of wisdom which banishes the darkness of ignorance ." ( Gita 10 / 11 ) . For every man who retraces his steps to God , there is a great celebration among the angels . They actually appear and receive that returning soul in great joy . There is no way back Home if you weave around you a snare of worldly desires . You came to play your part on the stage of time , to fill the role that you were designed for in the divine drama ; but the essential part of your role is to think of Him and to do His will , naught else . Every thought , every act , is deluded that does not place Him first . The Hindu scriptures say : " As soon as you feel the desire for God , immediately change your life and plunge into Him ."
Each soul must find its way back alone . No one but you are responsible for your mistakes and habits . Once you have found your Self in your soul , you are free . But so long as you are not free , so long there is danger , you will have to come back to earth and work out all the desires that remain unfinished . Your body is mortal , but the soul outlasts the body . If you die wanting a Cadillac ( car ) you will have to come back here for it ; you will not be able to get it in heaven , where cars are not used .
The only purpose of life is to find God . If you are married you and your loved one should seek the Divine together . People should be taught in youth how to control their emotions .
So long as ignorance remains , you cannot tell how many incarnations of suffering may be ahead of you . Eliminate ignorance by meditation . The longer you meditate , the more completely you will ' cauterise' the injurious mental bacteria that have been infecting you for ages . For instance , some people are prone to anger ; they do not realize that they have been cultivating the habit of wrathfulness for many lives .It is best to struggle to get rid of bad habits now . A complete surrender to God will destroy in you the Karma of ignorance .

![The Gita – Chapter 4 – Shloka 23
जिसकी आसक्त्ति सर्वथा नष्ट हो गयी है, जो देहाभिमान और ममता से रहित हो गया है, जिसका चित्त निरन्तर परमात्मा के ज्ञान में स्थित रहता है — ऐसा केवल यज्ञ सम्पादन के लिये कर्म करने वाले मनुष्य के सम्पूर्ण कर्म भली भाँति विलीन हो जाते हैं ।। २३ ।।
Lord Krishna continued:
A person who has no attachment to anything whatsoever in this world, whose heart is set on acquiring Gyan (wisdom), who works for the sake of sacrifice, and is a totally liberated person from the world, all actions for this person melt away and are meaningless.

![ये 10 चाणक्य नीतियां अपनाएंगे तो स्त्री हो या पुरुष कभी धोखा नहीं खाएंगे
गर्व_से_कहो_हिन्दू_है
पहली नीति: आचार्य चाणक्य कहते हैं कि किसी भी राजा की शक्ति उसका स्वयं का बाहुबल है। ब्राह्मणों की ताकत उनका ज्ञान होता है। स्त्रियों की ताकत उनका सौंदर्य, यौवन और उनकी मीठी वाणी होती है।
दूसरी नीति: आचार्य कहते हैं कि कभी भी अग्नि, गुरु, ब्राह्मण, गौ, कुमारी कन्या, वृद्ध और बालक, इन सातों को हमारे पैर नहीं लगना चाहिए। शास्त्रों के अनुसार ये सभी पूजनीय और सदैव पवित्र हैं। अत: इन्हें पैर
लगाकर इनका निरादर नहीं करना चाहिए।
तीसरी नीति: चाणक्य के अनुसार ये सात जब भी सोते हुए दिखाई दें तो इन्हें तुरंत उठा देना चाहिए। ये सात लोग इस प्रकार हैं- द्वारपाल, नौकर, राहगीर, भूखा व्यक्ति, भंडारी, विद्यार्थी और डरे हुए व्यक्ति को नींद में से तुरंत जगा देना चाहिए।
चौथी नीति: लक्ष्य कैसे प्राप्त किया जाए... इस संबंध में आचार्य चाणक्य ने बताया है कि किसी भी कार्य की शुरूआत से पहले हमें खुद से तीन सवाल पूछने चाहिए। ये तीन सवाल ही लक्ष्य प्राप्ति में आ रही बाधाओं को पार
करने में मददगार साबित होंगे। इसके साथ ही ये कार्य की सफलता भी सुनिश्चित करेंगे।
ये तीन प्रश्न हैं-
- मैं ये क्यों कर रहा हूं?
- मेरे द्वारा किए जा रहे इस कार्य के परिणाम
क्या-क्या हो सकते हैं?
- मैं जो कार्य प्रारंभ करने जा रहा हूं, क्या मैं
सफल हो सकूंगा?
पांचवी नीति: आचार्य कहते हैं जिस धर्म में दया का उपदेश न हो, उस धर्म को छोड़ देना चाहिए। जो गुरु ज्ञानहीन हो उसे त्याग देना चाहिए। यदि पत्नी हमेशा क्रोधित ही रहती है तो उसे छोड़ देना चाहिए और जो भाई-बहन स्नेहहीन हों, उन्हें भी त्याग देना चाहिए।
छठी नीति: जीवन में सफलताएं प्राप्त करने के लिए कई बातों का ध्यान रखना अनिवार्य है। इस संबंध में आचार्य चाणक्य द्वारा कई सटीक सूत्र
बताए गए हैं। इन्हीं से एक सूत्र ये है सर्प, नृप अथवा राजा, शेर, डंक मारने वाले जीव, छोटे बच्चे, दूसरों के कुत्ते और मूर्ख, इन सातों को नींद से नहीं जगाना चाहिए। ये सो रहे हों तो इन्हें इसी अवस्था में रहने
देना ही लाभदायक है ।
सातवीं नीति: शारीरिक बीमारियों का उपचार उचित दवाइयों से किया जा सकता है, लेकिन मानसिक या वैचारिक बीमारियों का उपचार
किसी दवाई से होना संभव नहीं है। इस संबंध में आचार्य चाणक्य ने सबसे बुरी बीमारी बताई है लोभ। लोभ यानी लालच। जिस व्यक्ति के मन में
लालच जाग जाता है वह निश्चित ही पतन की ओर भागने लगता है। लालच एक ऐसी बीमारी है जिसका इलाज आसानी से नहीं हो पाता। इसी वजह से आचार्य ने इसे सबसे बड़ी बीमारी बताया है।
आठवीं नीति: आचार्य चाणक्य कहते हैं समझदार मनुष्य वही है जो विवाह के लिए नारी की बाहरी सुंदरता न देखते हुए मन की सुंदरता देखे। यदि कोई उच्च कुल या श्रेष्ठ परिवार की कुरूप कन्या सुंस्कारी हो तो उससे विवाह कर लेना चाहिए। जबकि कोई सुंदर कन्या यदि संस्कारी न हो, अधार्मिक हो, नीच
कुल की हो, जिसका चरित्र ठीक न हो तो उससे किसी भी परिस्थिति में विवाह नहीं करना चाहिए। विवाह हमेशा समान कुल में शुभ रहता है।
नवीं नीति: आचार्य चाणक्य कहते हैं भगवान मूर्तियों या मंदिरों में नहीं है। भगवान हमारी अनुभूति में ही विराजमान हैं। हमारी आत्मा ही भगवान का मंदिर है। सभी के शरीर में आत्मा रूपी मंदिर में अनुभूति रूपी भगवान
विराजित रहते हैं। बस इंसान इन्हें महसूस नहीं कर पाता और दुनियाभर में खोजता रहता है। जबकि भगवान हमारे अंदर ही मौजूद हैं।
दसवीं नीति: आचार्य के अनुसार मूख शिष्य को उपदेश देने पर, किसी बुरे स्वभाव वाली स्त्री का भरण-पोषण करने पर और दुखी व्यक्तियों के साथ किसी भी प्रकार का व्यवहार करने पर दुख ही प्राप्त होते हैं।
