RE: A question each of us has asked himself again and again is:
What is the purpose of life?
Comment: I believe that the purpose of life, is the realization of God,
dwelling in ourselves and other entities.....
Sri Ramakrishna said:
"Through selfless work, love of God grows in the heart.
Then, through His grace, one realizes Him in course of time.
God can be seen. One can talk to Him as I am talking to you. "
RE: When I offer myself, thus, I do nothing particular for God.
He possesses everything already. It is only I who benefit.
Comment: So very true. Sri Thakurji said:
"Man cannot really help the world. God alone does that -
He who has created the sun and the moon, who has put love
for their children in parents' hearts, endowed noble souls
with compassion, and holy men and devotees with divine love.
The man who works for others, without any selfish motive,
really does good to himself."
