The highest ideal springs from our highest conception of self and life. If my self is merely the body then the highest would be to preserve it. If it is simply desires and the ego self then satisfying these would become the most legitimate aim. So on and so forth. One has to look inside oneself and reflect and ask what is the one single most important thing for myself? What is it that is most important for me, without which I cannot conceive living? What is the one single aim I can place before myself as a beacon light, the central faith and will-to-be in me? What is my highest conception of life? Spend sometime everyday contemplating upon this question until the true answer emerges from within.
Affectionately,
