Mission and Purpose in life
Mission is our destiny. It is what some people could read in the palms of our hands. It is what the position of the stars may signal at the moment that "we" manifested in the physical world.
As we can see our being manifests something in life-like a piece in a big jigsaw puzzle. Our mission is what has been already "written" and goes beyond any human interpretation.
For example, Bill Gates is a multimillionaire. Do we think that his mission in life is to "make money"? :-)
Obviously that is just a very childish appreciation of his mission in life. Any of us could "guess," think or have a "point of view," but none of us is capable of knowing how his mission in life relates with other beings and life for something greater to happen. Just like the domino effect.
We discover our mission in life as we live life.
On the other hand, "purpose in life" is another made up word by great thinkers, philosophers and such.
There is no purpose in life unless we make up something like: "To help people," "to help God," "to help ourselves," "to learn," etc. Notice that as long as Avyakt7 uses "nice words" to describe a "purpose" then most individuals will like that. They will accept it.
However, these writings are the expression of going beyond the façade of "nice beliefs," and "pretty words" and seeking acceptance.
We make up a purpose in life and we believe that this purpose is the "reason" why we are here. See? Even we believe that giving "reasons" is the way that life operates… :-)
When we see that we are part of the Totality, of the big jigsaw puzzle, to know the "self" becomes very important.
Why?
Because that is needed for bringing joy to our lives. In one word: Enjoyment.
Let us say that "piece 666" of the jigsaw puzzle "thinks" that it has a "purpose" in life. "Piece 666" will go out of its way to "achieve" that "purpose," not realizing that its destiny is to fit in nicely into the jigsaw puzzle along piece 667 and 665 and others…. Just to be "ONE."
Because "piece 666" does not realize about its mission in life, that piece will suffer when expectations are not met.
Obviously, if piece 666 spends sometime in looking at "itself," that is its shape, form, size, thickness, etc… while enjoying those specific dimensions and seeing the way to fit into the "common good," then life will do the rest; that is, to get the other pieces around, magically… because those pieces fit right at a particular time. This is what we call through the "will of God," or through "Life unforeseen circumstances."
A purpose is something that we think about when we do not realize that there is a mission underneath.
Therefore, happiness is not the "purpose of life."
That is a thought… a "nice" thought.
Happiness is the enjoyment of the "now" while seeing our mission in life unfold. Just like a "detached observer." :-)
Please see that "I am not doing anything," "I am not making it happen…" as most "Life-coaches" would like us to believe. I am just opening up and enjoying what it is " now" to let new things to happen by itself. That is, we trust the intelligence in life.
Of course, some may not be happy with that. Some may want to change and shape up life according to what "I want." We could name that disease with a pretty label: " being the master of my own destiny."
"You" are not separated form the Totality.
"You" as separation is an illusion and so is "I."
Through our thoughts we have created those personalities. We have given life to that "ego."
Piece 666 cannot live apart form the jigsaw puzzle. Without it, Piece 666 is nothing…. When that "ego" is gone, then Piece 666 is no longer piece 666 but … the whole jigsaw puzzle itself… then "it" is truly something... :-) :-)
