Q: Swamiji, I would like to know the purpose of our life, the world, the universe and our god.🔗

If you know the purpose of your life, you will be able to understand the other three automatically. Here you are asking: I want to know the purpose of our life, purpose of our world, purpose of our universe and purpose of our god. The purpose of your life is the purpose of the universe. The purpose of the universe is the purpose of god. It means the purpose of your life is the purpose of god. Be very clear, find out the purpose of your life and you will be able to find out the purpose of god. But unfortunately, I cannot tell you the purpose of your life.

One more important thing, whatever you think as the purpose of your life, you will attract that kind of universe around you. You will create that kind of world around you. You will be devoted to that kind of god.

Understand, the purpose of your life decides the purpose of your world, the purpose of your universe and the purpose of your god. If your purpose is just money, you will create that kind of a corporate world around you, you will create that kind of a corporate universe. You will understand the whole universe as a company.

The other day, I was reading a wonderful article describing the whole universe as a company, Global Earth Holdings. If the purpose of your life is just money, the whole world will look like a corporate company. It will feel like the universe is a corporate company and you will be naturally attracted to the god who gives or whom you believe will give money.

So, the purpose of your life is going to decide the purpose of your world, the purpose of your universe and the purpose of your god.

If you are enlightenment-based; if you feel that the purpose of your life is not money but enlightenment, suddenly you will see that you attract that kind of a society around you, that kind of a universe around you or that kind of god whom you believe will give enlightenment.

If you feel that you want both money and enlightenment, then your universe will be that way. You will create that kind of a world around you. You will feel attracted to the corresponding god.

So, I can say, the purpose of your life is the main core or thread. Unfortunately… I am sorry… fortunately... I cannot teach you that! You only have to find it out.

Q: My daughter, aged about twenty six, says she wants to become a sannyasi. She is not accepting marriage. Please kindly bless.

When an individual soul wants something, we can only bless for that individual decision. See, nobody can interfere with individual freedom. If the person wants to marry, you can't make her a sannyasi. If she wants to become a swami, you can't make her marry. Whatever she wants, let that happen. Only that is the right thing. I can only give that blessing. Also, I think you also expect only that, because here you have said, 'Please kindly bless my daughter'. What she wants, let her achieve, let her be successful in that. That's what I can say.
