What is the important duty in our life?

[Guest guest]

The very reason why we are born in this world is to eliminate our

unfulfilled desires either through fulfilling them or through

eliminating them completely from our nature. When we try to fulfill

our desires and satisfy ourselves, we set ourself another goal and

thereby a new set of desires are formed for us to be fulfilling in

future. Therefore, this method does not work. Let us try the second

one of trying to eliminate them completely from our nature.

 

For doing this, we need to understand our true Self. God is lending

the life force and tools such as body and mind for us to go and

fulfill or eliminate our desires. All of them are given for action. We

take this for granted and forget the fact that we are holding it in

trust on behalf of God and we have the primary duty of merging

ourselves with God.

 

We begin to become a servant to our body and mind which are transient

in nature and start accumulating material things as though they belong

to this body and mind. We start identifying ourselves with this body

and mind. This creates ego, separation from our Self and results in

dualism. We have to remember that we are Supreme Self and our primary

duty is to shrug off our desires and become one with the God. We

become the richest once we eliminate all our desires. That is the true

purpose of our lives.

 

We are not the doer and we are only a witness to all actions. This

awareness will only help the burden of our nature to be reduced and

make the process of becoming one with the God easier.
