What is the purpose of our life?

This article is for spiritual people. Or for those of you who believe that a God exists. Or some super natural force that has control over the world.

What is the purpose of our life? Why are we here on this earth? When and will we ever know the purpose of our life?

I’ve always had this primeval long standing theory that we come to earth as part of a journey. Earth is our learning stop. Just like we drive cars and stop for fuel to go on. Earth is like that for us. We are all souls who choose that we want to come into the world and choose our family and friends. And then we come to earth with a purpose. And once we are finished with that, we go back to the heavens. Or wherever we came from.

Before we come to the earth, we are given a purpose in life. God tells us why we need to go to earth. So in a way, yes we do know why we are here. But the predicament is, we cant remember why!

I know that may sound a bit bizarre. But lets contemplate over it a bit more. Now god tells us why he needs us to go to earth. And its up to us to complete our mission.

Now why is it that we cant remember what our purpose is? The reason is, if we did remember why we came onto earth we would finish our purpose really hastily and wish to go back to heaven.

Heaven! This is the only word in the world that may possibly have no accurate definition. Heaven to me is this striking place where everything is right and we can live the way we want and do the things we want not having to fret about anything. We can be assured of the almighty’s unconditional love for us. He is always there to talk to us and make everything just perfect. Heaven according to me is the most perfect place and we all come to earth from there. We all look at earth as a school like I mentioned earlier. So when we are in heaven and everything is just perfect, no body wants to come to earth. But we have to if we want to learn. And this is where we choose our families and everything else. Now before coming to earth, we are aware of our purpose. But once we are on earth, that memory gets expunged along with all other memories of heaven and of talking to and being with God. Now its up to us to draw nearer to him and recognize him as the most highest. If we knew of our purpose in life, we would want to finish it quickly and go back to heaven. We would wake up every morning knowing what we have to do and attempt to finish it in the fastest possible way. This would only result in the cutting short of our learning experience. What good would school be if we got promoted from the 1st standard to the 12th standard? We would miss out on all those important things that we have to learn along the way. We would miss out on all the experiences that life has to offer us.

Nobody, after seeing heaven wants to be on earth. But if one has to grow smarter and be the experienced people that we should be, then we should take life slowly and steadily, taking advantage of every opportunity that comes our way and tapping it to the maximum of its available potential.

Life is beautiful and instead of wasting it on figuring out why we are here, lets make the best of it and try to discover as much as possible and read books and watch movies and make friends and spread peace and do everything possible to enhance the exquisiteness of our inner selves. Lets move like the tortoise who won in the end through life’s expedition without hurrying through anything knowing that once our lifes purpose is accomplished, we can be rest assured that we will be going back to the heavens! Or wherever we came from.
