After quiet a bit of searching and seeking , I recently zeroed in (I hope !!!) on the purpose of my life :
My purpose : is to GIVE
Give My Time, Energy, Skills
,Talent and Knowledge for the benefit of others;
Buddha said: Give everyday, If not for other reason, than for the sake of Giving, to ensure your Karmic Ledger has
lesser redlines of Debt!
Easwaran tells us this :
"I don't compete with anybody. I try to complete everybody.
I try to help everybody around me to complete each other"
Eknath Easwaran : in his Little
Book : “The
Purpose of Work” talks about the above in Details as below:
“If you engage in the selfless
work , without even a Thank You! you reduce your size of your Ego; So Focus on
the Gratitude, Graciousness and Generosity (3Gs) ; On other hand , if you solely engage in the work for Pride, Profit, Pleasure, Position, Prestige, Primacy and
Power (7Ps) , you end up bloating up your Ego”
So this leads to the Ego Equation of Life : that I formulated:
Your Ego = 7Ps
3Gs ;
ie., Your Ego is a ratio of 7Ps and 3Gs;
Most of us will have
private motive …nothing wrong about…but while doing so…still keep the 7Ps small and also Keep engaging in the
selfless work – the public motive- to reduce the size of your ego : the only barrier between Us
and the Unity of Life
