Inner bliss and outer welfare: Two Purpose of my life

Today I have defined two ultimate purposes for my life. After deep thinking, I realized that the true purpose of life, for me, is to attain inner bliss and outer welfare. Now I want to share my thoughts on both.

First is inner bliss.

By inner bliss, I mean complete peace within — a state of total joy in the mind. When I was in college, our teacher Dr.Shailija used to guide us through meditation during online classes. One day, my attention became completely absorbed. For the first time in my life, I felt deep joy from within.

I still remember that moment clearly. My mind had become completely empty of thoughts. There was not a single thought inside me. I felt totally peaceful and blissful.

I experienced this blissfulness one more time as well. That time too, I became free from thoughts and emotions and entered a kind of thoughtless zone. I even told two of my friends Chandni and Muzaff about it when we met the year after college ended.

I can say with complete confidence that the joy I felt in those moments was greater than anything else I have ever experienced. I even created a world record and achieved success with books. Yet even those achievements together could not give me the kind of joy I felt in those moments.

That is why I have decided to return to meditation. I want to experience that same bliss again. I have already seen a glimpse of true joy. Now my ultimate goal is the attainment of nirvana.

I have realized that human life is an opportunity to become free. Life is not only about achieving success in the outer world. It is also about becoming inwardly liberated.

I do not want to return again to this world full of suffering. I also agree with Buddha that this world is filled with suffering, and there is only one path to liberation from it — enlightenment, the same enlightenment attained by Gautama Buddha and Mahavira.

Now the second purpose is outer welfare.

Now that I have decided my inner goal — nirvana and blissfulness — another question arises before me: what should my goal be in the outer world?

I will never sit idle with folded hands and spend the entire day meditating. I am against the kind of meditation that makes people dependent on others.

I believe that a person who truly understands that the real purpose of life is liberation should also achieve great success in the outer world and share it with good and needy people.

There are two reasons for this.

First, I believe that a good and noble person should attain wealth, position, and fame because now They is no longer attached to them. They no longer hungers for power. They no longer greedy for money.

When a person becomes this detached, whatever wealth he earns or whatever position he reaches will naturally be used for the welfare of people.

There is another reason as well. Today many selfish and destructive people have gained power and money, and because of that, so much suffering exists in the world. Good people have stepped back and closed their eyes, and because of that humanity is suffering.

That is why I believe that a good person should attain the highest positions possible, earn as much wealth as possible, and spread happiness throughout humanity — and even throughout all of nature.

From today until the last day of my life, these two things will remain the purpose of my existence, and they will guide every action I take:

First, nirvana. Second, doing good for others.
