Purpose of life

 What is the purpose of life? This is a one common question, pestering every intellectual person, since ages. Why, this birth? Why all this worldly drama? What is my role in this drama? What is the use of life?  ...etc etc are the haunting questions, running in the back of everybody 's mind. But, they all refuse to accept the truth that life is designed, destined for only one spiritual purpose, ie...  Self  Realisation.  Actually, the reason for their wrong conception is, that they have lost in the game of making money.
They think, this  life is given to enjoy worldly pleasures; to earn wealth, not for any 
spiritual purpose. But, Gita reiterates in every chapter, the life purpose, as God realisation.
Gita uses synanims like "Purushottama prapthi " or" Brahmanirvana"..for God Realisation.
Brahmanirvana gives "the freedom from the cycle of births and deaths. ie.(Punaravritthi)
Realisation of God means granting the vision of Supreme Devine being
This state of mind in which one realises the Devine, is called "Brahmi Sthiti."
How to acquire the Brahmi Sthiti?  This below given slokam guides us step by step.

            That Buddhayaha, that Atma, thannista, thatparayanaha
             Gathyanta punaravritthim, Gnana nirduuta Kalmashaha.   (Sanyasa yoga )

First step:: the aspirent should orient his intellect towards Paramatma ( God)
Second step:: the aspirent should practice the "contemplation on God"( dhyana )regularly 
                         with desiplined mind ( Nista) with full faith and without fail.
By Practicing these two steps daily, one slowly sinks into the Spiritual mode of life, and this
systematic approach directs one towards Spiritual enlightenment. What suggested in the above given sloka is, no doubt, helps any aspirent to reach the heights of Spirituality.
But, first most, one has to accept this commandment as the Purpose of life.
Sweetness can be felt only after eating sugar! Similarly, spiritual happyness can be felt only 
after practicing the exercise assiduously.

This Spiritual Practice washes away the sins carried on, from innumerable previous births.
The fire of Gnanam, generated by the regular Spiritual Practice, cleans the (kalmasham)Sins,
and prepares the aspirent to experience the Parabrahmam.
Relishing or refusing the sugar lies in one's own decision.

Once again, the same Bhagavanuvacha is repeated , ie...Cleaning the sins and Clearing the Mind.
Whether you are rich or poor, weather you are an Indian or non Indian matters not. The same commandment applies to everyone born,here on this Globe.

                   " Om bhoohu, bhuvaha,suvaha That Sath" is the Ultimate.
           Attaining Ultimate goal is the soul Purpose of Life.

                                                 Om That Sat
