“We are not aware of who we are. We are not aware of the inner being, the authentic self, the source from which we come. We are not aware why we have come here.
We are not aware of what our purpose is. There must be come purpose, some meaning and there must be some message to be delivered. There must be some work to be done, and something has to happen through us. Nobody is here accidental and everybody
is on a mission, which we are unaware of.
We are not aware of who we are, and we are not aware of why we are here, but that does not make any difference to the truth. Whether the truth is known or not, it still remains the truth. Not knowing it makes no difference.
Everybody is here to fulfill a certain purpose, a certain meaning. Unless you have not done that for which you have come here, you will not feel a deep sense of joy and meaning.
That is the basic cause why there is so much misery. The basic cause of misery is that we are doing something for which we are not
meant. Everybody is trying to be somebody else. You can never be somebody else, you can only be your own self.
Without meditation you will never know who you really are, and what your purpose here is. With meditation you will become more silent, joyful and a clarity will arise. You can see clearly what your purpose here is. You can see clearly what will create a deep sense of joy and meaning in you. Then your whole life goes through a radical change. Then you start doing that for which you are meant.
Meditation is the method of discovery of who you really are, your purpose, your goal, your meaning, and once you start doing it, your life will become a joy.”
