Guest guest Report post Posted May 2, 2003 Because it serves our interest.Our real duty is to serve God,the master.When we realize we are servants and not masters we become very happy. We are here not to leave our bodies and go to heaven but instead bring heaven to Earth.A soul pure in heart does not want to be liberated because he wants to take everyone with him.He cannot see them suffering in the darkness of ignorance. By doing service to God liberation is automatic but it is not the goal.Real nature of the soul is to serve the supersoul.Then our real life begins.It is beyond bliss!
