Vijay Kumar:
At any stage of life... every human being has two goals in life... one
the permanent one... the goal of our soul atman... the master and controller of the body... the owner of the
human being! The goal of soul atman is fixed right from the first manifestation as an amoeba (single cell
formation)... the first manifestation in the cosmic life
cycle!
The goal of the soul atman always remains regaining its lost pure
pristine original form... liberation from the cycle of birth and death forever. When human beings reach the
stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha)... all is over for the soul atman
within! The soul atman within finally reaches its goal of life... the 8.4 millionth
manifestation!
The goal of life for human beings is stepping ahead in the journey of
life... day after day... month after month... year after year! For human beings also the ultimate goal of
life remains gaining enlightenment and salvation at the earliest. This results in our soul atman within...
that seems to reside within our heart gaining liberation from the cycle of birth and death
forever!
There can never be an individual goal of life for any human being! Why?
It is for the simple reason that it is our soul atman residing within our heart that is the master and
controller of the body and not vice versa. It is not within the capability of the body to manifest a soul
atman. Our soul atman manifests body after another to eradicate the impurities... the dross
within!
Every soul atman on its cosmic journey regains its original lost pure
pristine form by permanently removing the impurities within. This is made possible when a soul atman
manifests the human form. It is only in the human form one gains enlightenment and finally salvation. The
human form is reached after spending 7.3 million manifestations in the insect, plant and animal
form!
The sole purpose of life for every human being is to assist our soul
atman in reaching its cosmic goal at the earliest. We human beings simply cannot do without it... we have to
do the bidding of our soul atman at all costs! The sweet small inner voice of our soul atman that seems to
come from within our heart always guides us on the right path. To hear or not to hear is the sole prerogative
of every individual human being!
Dominated by a bloated ego, the wanton desires and greed for
materialistic riches... most human beings do not hear the voice of our soul atman... they suffer badly in the
journey of life! In the ephemeral phase of life... the life as a human being... the goal of life should
always be indulgence in good karma (positive karma). This is how we earn Punya karma all the time!
Born in the house of a farmer if we desire manifesting the form of a
prince in the next manifestation... the next body... we need to enact our karma accordingly! It is the
doctrine of karma that is governing in the whole cosmos! As is the residual balance of karma of the present
manifestation... the closing balance of the present manifestation... accordingly shall be the body manifested
in the new manifestation... the new journey of life!
We simply cannot expect mangoes to grow on a guava tree! As we sow so
shall we reap... nothing less or more; so says the law of karma! Every soul atman primarily manifests a
body... the human form to work out its karma... remove the impurities dross within! The moment complete dross
within the soul atman removes one reaches the stage of enlightenment!
In the human form God Almighty has destined reaching the stage of
enlightenment in a span of 1.1 million manifestations! This practically means that every human being has 1.1
million lives of 70 to 80 years of span to reach the stage of enlightenment! This clarifies that gaining
enlightenment is not that easy... a life span of about 12.1 million earthly years in the human form is
necessitated for gaining enlightenment and finally salvation!
The temporary goal of life of a human being may be anything... the
permanent goal always remaining reaching the end of the journey... gaining enlightenment and salvation!
Whether we do it now in the present life or many manifestations henceforth... is the sole prerogative of
individual human being. Why not travel the spiritual path now! Who knows what we shall be in the next
manifestation!
