Is there any Purpose or Meaning in our lives? What will come of what I’m doing today or shall do tomorrow?



Stanley Kubrick gave an interview in 1968 which has become a classic: “If man really sat back and thought about his impending termination, and his terrifying insignificance and aloneness in the cosmos, he would surely go mad, or succumb to a numbing sense of futility. Why, he might ask himself, should he bother to write a great symphony, or strive to make a living, or even to love another, when he is no more than a momentary microbe on a dust mote whirling through the unimaginable immensity of space? ” Vedanta answers these questions by asserting that none of us is a dust mote. We are all part of one indivisible, eternal life.  We redeem ourselves through self transcendence that is by our connection with others.
