Purpose..

Birth is an incarnation of the supreme power that has some purpose to fulfil . The best example to explain this is the life of Lord Sreerama. In Ramayana, we nowhere find Sri Valmiki saying that Sreerama is God. Because, he knows that everyone on this Earth is God with the same power within themselves. But, why not everyone is living like Sreerama? It is because we don't realise or at least try to know the purpose of our birth. Sreerama has realised that his purpose is living a life of dharma and inspire others to lead a happy life by following his path. So, what is it that is standing as a barrier to realise the purpose of life?

Let us discuss this in much simpler terms. Say someone has a bad habit. What is it that is needed to give up that habit? A pinch of common sense and loads of effort. One without the other is useless. Common sense is hindered by ego which is again a bad habit. And effort is stopped by attraction. The same happens with life. We take birth and we get attracted towards the material world which gives us ephemeral pleasure (bad habit). We don't allow the common sense to make sense (due to ego). Ego that fills pride in ourselves. So, the solution here is to work on ego ( this again demands an effort by a Sadguru). First, let us all surrender to that common sense (which we often called the eternal knowledge) and it starts acquiring us. Once we start living with the knowledge, we see the world with a completely different perspective. We need to experience the common sense and start exploring the purpose of our birth.
