Why do we forget the purpose of life when we are born? Beautiful question. Please understand when you go through the process of birth your body slowly comes out of mother’s womb with a heavy pressure it comes out. That is the moment when the life, individual soul reflects on the body. So it is a very strong process. One you are coming out of the place where you are very confortable, cosy, cool, happy and completely protected and secured. You don’t need to think about your food. You don’t even need about breathing. Because life was extension of mother’s life. So there is no responsibility, you are completely protected, secured. From that secure place you are moving into a space where you need to take the responsibility for yourself. First thing, now you need to start breathing, you need to start eating, you need to start digesting, now you are responsible for your life. You need to enter into different space where you become responsible for everything. So it is a very big change. Second thing the individual life is settling into your nervous system. So it is a big chaos. So it is a big chaos naturally you forget the purpose for which you assume this body, you assume this body. That is why i always tell people. When you are in the body go to that silence where you can really re-live the moment of birth. You need to become so silent, so settle into your being where you can encounter the moment when your life and your body overlap each other. When your life and your body met each other. When you start taking the responsibility of breathing, when first time through the mucus, through your nose out, first time you started inhaling and exhaling. If you settle with yourself you can go to that space, when you understand, experience that space even once you will see very beautifully, very clearly the purpose of your life, which you’ve forgotten. Actually the chaos which happen during your birth made you forget why you are born. Why you took birth. The purpose of life is forgotten because of the chaos you go through at the time of birth. now if you rest, entering into the silence go back to the same moment , go back into that same deep moment, you will know the purpose of life. You will accept, you will understand. The next question. Do I have the same purpose of life in every birth? No, before the birth, at your previous death. See before you leave the body, your whole life is presented in front of you. You see the whole thing, all the major things which you thought as essence of your life. See when you live you think many outer world things as essence of your life. Many things drive you. For somebody, money drives their life, for somebody love drives their life. For somebody eating drives their life. For somebody sex drives their life. For somebody power drives their life. Whatever may be driving your life, whatever is purpose of.; whatever you think as purpose of your life you run behind it. At the moment of death you will evaluate wether your running was proper, wether your running was right or wrong. If you are running was right, you will think oh that’s right, then i will run for the same purpose for the next life also in a deeper sense, in a much higher scale. If you feel for which you run in this life didnot give what you wanted you will see no let me change the direction, let me change the direction. So please understand the purpose for which you run in your life at the time of death if you feel you are fulfilled, then you may not be bothered to take one more body. i you feel the purpose for which you are running gave you lot but you need to run in the same direction more then you may take the life and have the same thing as a purpose in a higher scale. But if you think no for what you run didnot give fulfillement or didnot make you feel happy, confortable then naturally you will feel: oh then let me change the purpose of life. Before the death your whole life will be in front of you, like a fastforward based on that you make the decision on purpose of next life. For exemple: if somebody thinks during the moment of death, eating was the best thing they had in their life. That is the best enjoyment they enjoy in their life, like a... for exemple eating all kinds of food was the best thing they had in their life. I heard, i’ve even seen some people they travel country to country just for food, just to taste the food they travel! Anyhow, so if you feel eating was the best thing you had in your life, maybe oh then let me take the birth such a body that kind of situation i will spend all my life in eating, maybe like a pig. Pig spend its all life in eating eating eating... Nothing else! So but if you think just sleeping and retired, tamasic way of life is the best thing yu enjoy in the life. Then the person will think, oh let me be a buffalo, whole life I don’t need to do anything. So based on the experiences of life, what you think as life you naturally decide on the course of your next life. So during the previous death you decide the purpose of the next life. It is not that always your purpose is same. Many time we do trial and error method, we do again and again trial and error method. A man who as done this trial and error method and perfected his purpose of life and achieve, who can tell everybody ultimate purpose of life and show that path to human beings IS MASTER. So it is not that the same purpose of life in every birth is carried or people have the same purpose of life in every birth. Can i change the purpose of my birth? Can i decide for my next life? Yes. That is the beauty of life. Please understand. What you decided in the last birth in the previous death that is the purpose of your present life. Now whatever change you want to make you can make, because whenever you are conscious you are free to choose. Now you are conscious about the present, you have freedom to choose about the future. Not only about the next life, if you are fully conscious and break from the past. Choose strongly. You can choose for the next moment. Not only you can change the purpose of next life, you can change the purpose of this life if you consciouly take decisions. Please understand, you are more unconscious, more superficial. More conscious more deeper. If you are completely unconscious, I can say your birth is birth , and death is death. If you are little evolve everyday when you fall asleep it is death, every morning when you wake up it is birth. If you are fully conscious every inhake breath is life, every exhaling breath is death. If you are completely unconscious you can change the purpose only during death and birth. If you are a sadhaka, meditator, you can change the purpose of life during the sleeping and waking up. If you are fully awake, conscious you can change the purposeof life when you inhale and exhale. Because inhaling is life, exhaling is death. Even at that moment you can change the whole purpose of life. Please understand, you can change the purpoe oif life, the very life , nothing is impossible. It is possible, only thing how conscious you are everything depends on that. Is the purpose of everybody’s life the same: to get enlightened? No. I can say, ultimately the purpose of everyone’e life is to get enlightened, may not be in this life itself. People may not feel the need for enlightenment in this life itself. They might feel money is the greatest thing, power is the greatest thing, the physical pleasure is the greatest thing. So whatever they feel is the greatest thing that will be the purpoe of this life. But ultimatly when they are conscious enough to understand that they are going through the same rat again and again and again, like i child’s play, kids play. When you see the kids they just build sand castle, when it is evening when they feeling bored they just jump on the sand castle, and destroy and go. Again next day they start playing building, again they destroy and go. If you understand your life is also just like that play. You built stone castles live it and go. Again come back built the stone castle live it and go. If you understand you are also doing the same drama, same game, same play, then maybe one day you will realise: ‘oh why to do the same drama, same play, same game, let us be awaken, let us be fulfilled, let us achieve the ultimate. Then your purpose of life is enlightenment. Till you realise that you are doing the same game again and again and again, enlightenment may not be the purpose of your life. So ultimately enlightenment is the purpose of all lifes but all lifes may not have enlightenment as the purpose of this life. Can anybody become an incarnation? Yes. Anybody who realises with full awareness the purpose of birth becomes incarnation.\` From that moment he become incarnation. You need to understand, if somebody achieves the truth or purpose of birth at the age of 12, or 15, or 20 don’t think that the before he achieve that part is unconscious. Once they achieve that part also becomes conscious. It is like, till you have the light switch on everything is dark. Once you switch on the light everything is known, everything is seen. So when you achieve that light the past, present, future all 3 are seen. All 3 will be seen. So please understand, anybody can become incarnation by knowing the Truth, the purpose of life. If i have chosen my purpose of life, then i have chosen the circomstances of life aswell to fulfill that purpose, so do I just accept everything that happens in my life? Yes, i can say. Just like you choose the purpose of your life, you choose the circomstances of your life also. First thing, i want you to accept everything as it happens in your life. Acceptance doesn’t mean you will be lazy. When you accept your intelligence; higher intelligence will be awaken, which may feel like transforming the whole thing. Attracting new situations, news things in your life. When all those things are attracted, when you feel expanded, when there is transformation happening, allow it to happen. Acceptance doesn’t mean becoming lazy or not allowing the updation to happen in you. Acceptance means not grambling, grunchy, creating guilt and allowing the new life to flow through you. People think acceptance means not letting any change to happen. No Acceptance means allowing the new life, the great changes to happen in you. So please understand when you accept you are allowing a new life and great changes in you.
