Purpose and Essence of Life
I recently happened to see one old Hollywood movie (1946 vintage) “It’s a wonderful life”. I recommend my friends to see this movie. It gives a very powerful message that each one of us is very special and unique and we are here on this planet earth for a specific role. Each person’s life impacts the others who come in contact with him. Thus we should celebrate every day of our life and be grateful to The Lord for every moment.
To understand about Essence of Life, One may read selected stories of Leo Tolstoy, like ‘How much land does a man need’, ‘Were love is God is’ and ‘What men live by’. These stories teach you the philosophy and essence of life. ‘What men live by” throws out the following three questions.
It is important to learn the following.
‘ What dwells in a man?’
‘ What is not given to a man?’
‘ What men live by?’
The answers which this story brings out are: ‘What dwells in a man’; Love dwells in a Man and the one who recognizes it recognizes the God! ‘What is not given to a man’; the story points out that no man is given the knowledge of his time or what will become of him. And finally answer to ‘What men live by’ are the acts of love and benevolence toward other fellow human beings as a noble call from the True Light which resides in each one of us.
