Vedanta teaches that we need to turn to our
own innermost self to find the meaning of life. No words can describe this
better than these lines from Tagore: “One day when the lotus bloomed, alas, my
mind was straying, and I knew it not. My basket was empty and the flower
remained unheeded./ Only now and again a sadness fell upon me and I started up
from my dream and felt a sweet trace of a strange fragrance in the south wind./
That vague sweetness made my head ache
with longing and it seemed to me that it was the eager breath of the summer
seeking for its completion./ I knew not
then that it was so near, that it was mine, and that this perfect sweetness had
blossomed in the depth of my own heart.” Sri Ramakrishna said once: The purpose of life
is to find God, nothing else…Please share life lessons on how to make our lives
meaningful. What do you see as the true purpose of our lives? Your wisdom will
enrich all of us.
