The Satsang

The whole existence, the whole universe, is purposeless. Of course it is very shocking. From the young age we are taught, socially conditioned that life has got some purpose. Always you are made to run towards some goal, towards some purpose. The more you run towards the goal, the more you are considered as a successful person. The more the speed, the more you are respected, the more the speed, more rewards. From your birth again and again you are taught, society teaches you, life has got some purpose, life has goal. The more you run towards the goal, more you miss the life. Man who is continuously bothered about the goal, will never be able to enjoy the life. (1:35) For example : When you are studying you always think, when I have my job my life will be happy. When you have your job you think, after marriage my life will be happy. After marriage you think, when I have kids and my own house my life will be happy. After you have kids and your own house you think, when kids grow up all my responsibility is over, I will be happy. By the time your kids are settled, by the time your responsibility is over, when you want to relax, your being is conditioned so much you can’t relax. The tension, running behind something has become part of your being, it has become part of your conditioning, after that resting will not be rest anymore, it will not be relaxation anymore. It will be loneliness. When you have rest in the end of the life, you may feel lonely because you have been conditioned to run behind something. You have been conditioned, to live with something. You have been conditioned, to associate yourself with something. (3:13) The more you run, the more titles you will see. You'll always tell he is a multidimensional personality. You praise people to run more they are called multidimensional personalities. Please be clear they are schizophrenias not multidimensional personalities. Only a person who is deeply experienced himself, only who rests in himself, who experiences inaction in action, only he can be multidimensional personality. Only a Krishna can be multidimensional personality. A man who completely rests in himself, who knows how to relax within himself can be multidimensional personality. Person who runs for society, by society, can never experience the peace. It'll be clear, the more you run the more possibility of becoming mad. But society wants you to run. Only then he will be useful member. He will be useful member to society. Society does not want you as you are, it wants you as a useful member for it. If you are a doctor, if you are a lawyer, if you are an accountant, somewhere if you are useful to the society then you are regarded, you are praised. That is why society gives so much of importance for your title. You are respected just based on your title not as you are. The more number of titles you have, the more respect, less number of titles you have, less respect. The more you are useful to the society, more you are respected. Again and again you are made to run. You are taught life has got purpose. Please understand life is purposeless. Look into your life deeply whatever you think as a goal of your life even if everything is fulfilled you think you will be able to rest? You think you will be able to relax? You think you will be in bliss? You think you'll feel fulfilled? NO. You will feel only depressed (6:16) [MEANING OF LIVING] (6:19) When you don't care, when you are not able to take anything with you, what is the purpose of life? What is the purpose of life ? The moment you understand life is purposeless, the moment you accept the beauty of purposelessness. You will realise the meaning of Living. Life has no purpose, but it has meaning. Purpose is different, meaning is different. Purpose means, the goal orientation. You always think about the goal running, running, running, running, running, suddenly one day you just drop and drop dead. The more you are goal oriented; more you will miss the life. Purpose is different and meaning is different. When I say the word meaning, living itself is a meaning. Come to this moment, path itself is a life, path itself is a meaningful thing. There's no such thing in the end you will be happy. You always postpone the joy. You always postpone the bliss you always postpone living life is lived in a very superficial way because you think life has got purpose be very clear man who was just for salary just for money for him only the payment day will be beautiful day he will be happy only on that one day he is selling his 29 days for that one day, hes selling his 29 days for that one day happiness you are selling your life just for one day happiness please be very clear man who is running behind some goal may never be able to live the life happily if you are working just for salary you will never be able to experience the meaning of living you will be able to run behind the purpose I don't say don't take the salary but let it not be the only goal let it not play major role in your consciousness that is what Krishna says that is what Krishna means KarmanyaXXXX(9:11) You can do only your duty you have no right for fruits if you think of fruit you will lose the joy of Living you will lose the joy of Living the meaning of living is experienced only when you understand the beauty of purposelessness the beauty of purposelessness makes you realise the meaning of Living.
