Isn't it fantastic that if there's no purpose, you have nothing to fulfill. You can just live
No, but you want to focus and not a simple purpose. You want a god-given purpose, very dangerous. People who think they have a god-given purpose are doing the cruelest things on the planet. So know, They are doing the most horrible things and they've always been doing the most horrible things because when you have a god-given purpose life here, becomes less important than your purpose.

Not life is important. Life is important when I say like I'm not talking about your family, your work, what you do, what you do, not do your party. I'm not talking about that as life, this is life, isn't it? Life is within you or around you.
The, the ambience of life, you're mistaking, the ambience of Life, For Life, your home, your family, your workspace, your party. This is all Ambience of life. This is not life, isn't it? As her know you're mistaking, the ambulance for the real thing. Nah life is important. Because it's only thing. You know you don't have anything else. Do you know something else? Rest is only imagine stuff, isn't it? The only thing is that this is beating and alive and that's all there is. Who is this important? It is of Paramount, importance, not you as a person. That's not important, but you as a piece of life, it's very important. Because that is the basis of everything when I say that is the basis for everything, the university exists for you only because you are, isn't it? Yes, or no. The world exists for you only because you are, otherwise it won't exist in your experience. So in every way this is important. So what is the purpose for this?
- See if you had a purpose and you fulfilled it after that. What would you do?
After that, what will you do? Board, isn't it? It is just that life is so intricate and so phenomenally intricate. That if you spend a 10,000 years, looking at it carefully, you still will not know it entirely. If you spend a million years looking at it with absolute Focus, still you will not know it. Anything entirety. That's how it is.
There is, is there a meaning to it? The greatest thing about life is that there is no meaning to it. This is the greatest aspect of life that it has no meaning to it and there is no need for it to have a mini. It is the pettiness of one's mind. That it is Sica meaning because psychologically you will feel Kind of unconnected with life, if you don't have a purpose and the meaning people are constantly trying to create this false purposes,

No, they were quite fine and happy suddenly they got married. Now the purpose is The other person then they have children. Now, they become miserable with each other and now the whole purpose that I go through, all this misery is because the children, Like this, it goes on.
These are things that you are causing and holding these as purposes of life.
- Is there a god-given purpose? What if God does not know you exist?
No, I'm just asking by chance.
I am saying in this huge Cosmos for which God is supposed to be the Creator. And the manager of this hundred billion galaxies in that this tiny little planet. And you suppose, he doesn't know that you exist. What to do? Possible or not. I'm sorry. I'm saying such sacrilege is things, but, is it possible or not? What if he doesn't know that you exist,
What if he doesn't have a plan for you?
Suppose, he doesn't have a plan for an individual plan for you. Don't look for such things. The thing is, the creation is made in such a way that creation and Creator cannot be separated. Here you are a piece of creation at the same time, the source of creation is throbbing within you. If you pay little attention to this process of life, you would not need any purpose. It'll keep you engaged for a million years if you want. That is so much happening. So much means so much. Unbelievable things are happening right here if you pay enough attention. A million years of existence, it'll keep you busy or more. Right now, the need for purpose is come because you're trapped in your psychological structure. Not in your life process psychologically, you have your psychological structure functions from the limited data that it is gathered within that it rolls. And right now, your thought and emotion, has become far more important than your life, isn't it? Isn't it? So because of this, you seeking a Purpose as an escape from the trap that you have set for yourself. It is a trap set by you. You can easily come out of it. If the Trap was set for you by somebody else, difficult to come out because they'll set the trap in such a way that you cannot come out, isn't it?
I'm talking about life, not marriage. That's what I mean.
That's what? So this is a trap set by you. This is easy to come out but that is a whole thing. Why it is? So difficulty is now you're identified with the Trap. You like it. You like it because it gives you a certain sense of
Safety and Security, and protection and individual identity, if you build a cocoon around yourself. It gives you safety but it also imprisons you Walls of self-preservation are also walls of self imprisonment. When he protects you you like it when it restricts you you do not like it.
That is why we have doors. We like the walls because it's protecting us but we have doors so that way you can open it and get out when we want to. It. Doesn't matter how nice it is. We still want to go out, isn't it? So that is how it is with every trap that you set. It doesn't matter how nice it is, you still want to go out. So the psychological war that you have built, which gives you a son sense of identity, which gives you some sense of being a person and individual person and which gives you security Beginning to experience it like a trap somewhere, you want to break it. So, one way. Of not breaking, it is to find a purpose, those who find a purpose in their life, they become so conceited. They will live within their own trap for ever thinking that they're doing the most fantastic thing. First thing you need is balance. If you have balance, then you can climb. If you don't have balance. It's better. You stay underground, isn't it? It's not safe. For somebody who is not balanced to climb high. It's best. You stay close to the ground. You should not clap. So first thing is to establish a balance, then you losing your psychological structure, then it's a wonderful thing. If you lose a new psychological structure without balance, which lot of people are doing today. See, why does somebody want to drink alcohol? Or take a drug? Because it loosens your psychological structure and makes you feel liberated for a moment. But without the necessary balance. You have not worked for the balance but you about freedom freedom, without balances destruction, Anarchy isn't So first thing is to work for balance, an enormous sense of balance, where even if you dismantle your psychological structure, you can simply live here. Dismantling your psychological structure is an important process because that is your trap that is you security. That is your stability at the same time. That's your trap. Because the walls are set you feel secure but that's also your trap if you dismantle your trap. You also dismantle your security, isn't you also dismantle you sense of purpose. You also dismantle, everything that matters to you.
That will need balance without balance. If you dismantle, you will go crazy. But don't look for a purpose because if you look for a purpose, You're seeking Madness. If you find one, you are sure mag.
Yes. If you think you found a purpose in life, you still you for sure. Gone. Crazy because only the insane people have purpose or people who have purpose are insane in many ways. These are things that you create in your mind and believe. It's true, isn't it right now? Fighting for my country is my purpose right now. If it's necessary, I will find love knowing fully. Well, it's an unnecessary. Modified.
Then you will fight only to the extent. It's necessary. If you think this is your purpose, you would want to destroy the whole world for what nonsense you believe in, isn't it? Something is needed. We'll do it with absolute involvement. There's no, the purpose, the purpose of life is to live and to live totally. Live. Totally does not mean party every night to live. Totally means before you fall dead. Every aspect of life has been explored. Nothing has been left unexplored. Yes, before you fall dead. Even if you do not explore the cosmos, at least this piece of life, you must know it in its entirety that much. You must do to yourself, isn't it? That's living. Totally. That you experience the whole of this. All dimensions of what this is. You did not leave anything untouched. You just do that? It will take a long time. That's enough. Good enough purpose for you.
