The True Aim of Life
Why are we on earth?
To find the Divine who is in each of us and in all things.
Only one thing is important, it is to find the Divine. For each one and for the whole world anything becomes useful if it helps to find the Divine.
Life is meant for seeking the Divine. Life is realised when finding the Divine.
Let this be our one need in life, to realise the Divine.
Yes, to live in the consciousness of the Divine Presence is the only thing that matters. 2 June 1934 To want only what the Divine wants in us and for us, is the one important thing. 5 April 1935 The individual self and the universal self are one; in every Page ―3 world, in every being, in each thing, in every atom is the Divine Presence, and man’s mission is to manifest it. 30 October 1951 We are upon earth to manifest the Divine’s will. 27 July 1954 The only important thing is the goal to be attained. The way matters little, and often it is better not to know it in advance. 15 November 1954 Whatever we do, we must always remember our aim. 7 December 1954 The aim of our life on earth is to become conscious of the Divine.
The true purpose of life― To live for the Divine, or to live for the Truth, or at least to live for one’s soul. And the true sincerity― To live for the Divine without expecting any benefit from Him in return. 20 January 1964 What is my true destiny?
The true destiny is to reach the Divine Consciousness. Page ― 4 What is my true worth in this life?
To serve the Divine. 22 October 1964 The only thing worth living for is to serve the Divine. January 1966
Conversion of the aim of life from the ego to the Divine: instead of seeking one’s own satisfaction, to have the service of the Divine as the aim of life.
What you must know is exactly the thing you want to do in life. The time needed to learn it does not matter at all. For those who wish to live according to Truth, there is always something to learn and some progress to make. 2 October 1969
The true aim of life is to find the Divine’s Presence deep inside oneself and to surrender to It so that It takes the lead of the life, all the feelings and all the actions of the body. This gives a true and luminous aim to existence. 28 March 1970 Life has a purpose. This purpose is to find and to serve the Divine. The Divine is not far, He is in ourselves, deep inside and above the feelings and the thoughts. With the Divine is peace and certitude and even the solution of all difficulties. Page ― 5 Hand over your problems to the Divine and He will pull you out of all difficulties. 3 July 1970
There is a purpose in life ― and it is the only true and lasting one ― the Divine. Turn to Him and the emptiness will go. Blessings. You are here to contact your soul, and that is why you live. Aspire persistently and try to silence your mind. The aspiration must come from the heart. 11 June 1971 To be and to become more and more what the Divine wants us to be should be our greatest preoccupation. 25 July 1971 Page ― 6 Consider the Divine Life as the most important thing to obtain.
Happiness is not the aim of life. The aim of ordinary life is to carry out one’s duty, the aim of spiritual life is to realise the Divine.
In the world, as it is, the goal of life is not to secure personal happiness, but to awaken the individual progressively towards the truth-consciousness.
It is not in order to be happy that we are upon earth, for in the present conditions of terrestrial life happiness is an impossibility. We are upon earth to find and realise the Divine, for the Divine Consciousness alone can give true happiness.
Do not live to be happy, live to serve the Divine and the joy that you will experience will be beyond all expectations. March 1972 The life of a man is unfulfilled unless he has found the Divine. 2 June 1972 The Divine is everywhere and in everything; and we are created to discover the Divine and to unite with the Divine for his manifestation. 17 September 1972 Page ― 7 Man was created to express the Divine. His duty is therefore to become conscious of the Divine and to surrender himself entirely to His Will. All the rest, whatever the appearance, is falsehood and ignorance. 26 December 1972 We seek not our personal salvation but the absolute surrender of our being to the Divine.
6 January 1973
What is lasting, eternal, immortal and infinite, that indeed is worth having, worth conquering, worth possessing. It is divine Light, divine Love, divine Life ― it is also Supreme Peace, Perfect Joy and All ― Mastery upon earth with the Complete Manifestation as the crowning. Page ― 8 |
