ARE WE REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF OUR LIVES?

There is no harm in pursuing one's worldly duties while having Self-realisation as the goal of life. Life is not meant for just living, it is a means to realize one's true nature. Treating life as a righteous journey, you should devote at least a few minutes every day to thoughts on the true aims of life. Many hours in a day are wasted on selfish pursuits, but not even a few minutes are devoted to contemplation of God. Alas! What misfortune is this! In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna called upon Arjuna to regard himself as an instrument of the Divine. All of you are instruments of the Divine. Discharge your duties leaving the result to God. Your role is to do your duty sincerely. Victory and defeat are in God's hands. Do not even feel that you are the doer. You must think the Lord is giving me this opportunity and making me play this role in life.
DURGA & MANI
