Me : I want to find my purpose in life. I feel purposeless. Why do I feel this ?
Voice : You feel purposeless ?
Me : Yes.
Voice : Great! You are so fortunate.
Me : To be purposeless ?? Hello ??
Voice : I know. Its always been advocated to find your purpose...to live for something...to find meaning in a cause and allow that to be your goal...
Me : Right!
Voice : But all that is to eventually seek fulfilment. You are restless because you feel a void inside. One looks to fill that space by finding a purpose in life which is natural and alright. No matter how noble, large or small your purpose may be, it will always fall short of what you really need. A life closest to Divinity is free of any purpose.
Me : So I must have no cause, aim, purpose or goal ?
Voice : Understand the depth of why you feel you need to..
Me : Why ?
Voice : Because you have a strong sense of doership. You fell you are the reason for all that is in your life, all that happens and all that will happen.
One of the most important steps to spirituality, is apparently doing nothing and yet accomplishing everything. You could do things and you will continue to do it like everything depended on it - but relinquishing all controls.
Me : How do I control anything ?
Voice : You don't. You never did. You never will.
Me : Oh
Voice : The very desire 'to find a purpose' itself is the assertion of the false self. Its just another trap to get entangled in the falseness of your existence.
Note this example. Imagine yourself to be a log of wood on a flowing river. The log has no idea of the length of its ride, the flow, the raging rapids nor the final destination. During its ride, the log flows through innumerable hostile rapids and raging currents, long stretches of calm waters, gets thrown on the banks, and gets washed down into the river again, drifts through the valleys and forests, before merging with the ocean.
The log represents you, the river is your life, the rapids are your challenges, the shorelines are your distractions, the calm waters is the divine calling and the ocean is Self Realization.
It would matter little to the log to have a purpose or not, since the course of the river is pre-determined. The goal would always be the Ocean.
Me : So, would I be doing good progress to stay purposeless ?
Voice : If you to feel very fulfilled and yet have no purpose in life, I think you can be pleased with that.
Me : So the purpose is 'not to have a purpose.'
Voice : Haha....There you go again..Doership is imbedded deep in your consciousness. Its not necessary to be in the space of 'have' or 'not have' or 'do' or 'not do'.
Try to ...... Just Be.
Me : Just Be ? Uh..ok.
Voice : The Ocean will find you....and it wouldn't matter if you are a swimmer or not.
