Maybe my heart and soul were yearning for a deeper feeling/realisation. To make sense of life.
What is the true purpose of life? Are we here only to find happiness or love or do seva. Or are we here to apply ourselves, grasp subtle nuances?
What does it actually mean to live life fully? Blossom like a flower to your potential.
Not about achieving things in the world, na. Or extravagance. What is being limitless? Pure joy.
The purpose is inbuilt within us, as the tree is held back within the seed. So too, the soul within is the seed within and its purpose is to realise, express and thereby fulfil the Divine Possibility or the Divine Purpose within it. It happens through a process of unfolding across lives. As we draw closer to the soul, the more we feel conscious of this purpose stirring within us, inspiring us, pushing us from within rather than by outer pulls and pressures to do things. When we feel from deep within that this is what I am born to do, regardless of the outer challenges and difficulties; when we are moved or inspired from within to do or undertake something regardless of any outer considerations or benefits and advantages, simply because it is felt as our calling, then we must pursue this as our purpose of the moment. As we evolve, this purpose also changes and evolves, bringing us closer and closer to the Divine Truth within us. When we live life aligned to the true purpose, then we feel an inner joy and peace spontaneously, even if none appreciates or even acknowledges it.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
