Modern man spend most of their time aimlessly, as if they have infinite time in this world. Nature gave them the same twenty-four hours each day that it gave to Einstein, Ambedkar, Edison, and Marie Curie. But then the question arises: why do modern people feel so aimless and empty within? Why do they not use their time for a meaningful purpose? Why, despite having every comfort and luxury, do they still feel irritated and frustrated?

Before finding the answers to these questions, we must first look at how great people spent their time. Ambedkar would devote fifteen hours a day to studying because he wanted to bring Dalit people out of a hell-like life. Edison spent most of his time in the laboratory because he wanted to create something useful for the world. Einstein immersed himself in scientific discoveries. Dickens devoted his time to writing literature. If we observe carefully, we will realize that all of them dedicated their precious time to a great goal, to a higher purpose. In simple words, they found their “why.”

And that is exactly what modern man still have not found. Their minds are like ships without captains, drifting here and there without direction. One moment they want to become writers, the next dancers, then scientists. Their confusion is not really about choosing a goal; it is about the purpose behind the goal.

They do not possess a purpose that rises from the deepest layers of their soul, a purpose powerful enough to burn their laziness to ashes, give them the strength to endure every struggle, unlock their infinite intelligence, and give courage to come out from Comfort zone.

Now the next question arises: how does a person discover their purpose? For that, they must dig into their inner world the same way a person searching for gold digs deep into the earth. They must repeatedly ask themselves: What is it in this world that I truly want to change? What is that one work to which I can devote hours willingly, without getting bored? Is there any suffering that I myself have endured and now wish that no other human being should have to endure?

Without passing through these questions, no one can discover their purpose. And until a person finds that purpose, nothing can fill the emptiness within them—not even if the entire world luxuries are placed at their feet.
