Happy chaste bachelors.
Logos 357
The real purpose of life is to know God as He really is
The ultimate purpose of existence is to know God, to know him as He really is, and return to our true home, which is in the kingdom of the Supreme Lord. We came from God, and now we are embarrassed by material existence. So our goal must be to get out of this awkward situation and to return “home”, to return to God. This is the real purpose of life.
The Lord said: After having reached Me, great souls, the transcendentals dedicated to devotion, never return to this temporary world full of suffering, for they have reached the most high perfection.
The Lord tells us that if anyone comes to Him, he does not have to return to the material universe, to this material world full of suffering. Everyone knows it, but is duped by so-called leaders and spiritual masters of junk.
Material life is a life of misery. Krishna, God, the Supreme Person says that this place is a place of pain, and it is also temporary because its duration is limited. You can't compromise, like: “Okay, too bad if it's a place of pain, I'll stay here as an American, European, African, Asian, or whatever. other”.
No, for the truth is, we will not remain American, European, African, Asian or whatever. We may think that being born in the United States, Europe, Africa, Asia or elsewhere, we are very happy, but we will not be able to stay that way for long. We will have to leave this place someday, whether we like it or not, and we know nothing of what lies ahead in our next life.
This is why life is said to be miserable and temporary. Only those who have surrendered themselves to God and who serve him with love and devotion, know that they will go to find the Lord in his absolute kingdom, all of knowledge, happiness and eternity.
This is the true knowledge and the perfection of existence.
