*Purpose of Life* (exploration part 4)

Oh Beloved of God
Sing the Shabad!
Sing sing and let your heart be filled with Love
Sing and let your mind dance in the freedom of God's will
Everything is eternal
And all this pain is an illusion

Sing sing and let your heart be at peace
Uniting voice with saints in complete serenity
Sing the song of Joy, of Bliss, of Love
Let fearlessness take you over
Courageously loud and lovely
Sing!

Forever, always was and will be
God almighty, creator of All
Who spread the Self in ALL directions
Who holds all near and dear inside It
Being of Light (and dark)
Being beyond karma or dharma
Being without end
No Name
All Names

Sing sing that Name! True Name! SAT NAAM!
Identity emerging through the utterance of voice
raising up from the root of self, into song!
Vibrate and resound!
Let your soul be found!
Dancing along the string of consciousness
I AM, I AM NOT, and I AM.

Dance and sing and sing and sing!!!!!!!!!
Why else were we put here...
Hahahahahaha....
There's no other reason than to sing
in utter love and remembrance
My part, my All, my beautiful kundal my chatrik beloved my saring song of wild love
Sing sing and let your mind vibrate the shabad
Sing sing and let your heart be filled with love
Sing and let your soul kiss her husband merging
Sing and let your hairs dance along your body
Be the temple of light and sound
Radiate forth, and resonate the passion of blossoming
Fragrant and intoxicating melody
Sing among so many harmonies the One in ALL

Forget your questions
Just sing and let the magic happen
of divine love and transformation
singing the name, the life, the love of the One

Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhheguru!!

*Purpose of Life* (exploration part 3)

Wahhhh!


Wandering in circles of illusions
The maya of the need for purpose
The need of the rational mind
Why this, why that...
What's the reason behind...

...

Why always asking Why

...

Is it All
It is All
Is it All

...

Purpose = movement
Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual
Spiral in, Spiral out
Cycles upon cycles
Waves upon waves
Patterns upon patterns
Fractals
Expressing in Form
Creative Divine

Dance of clarity or confusion
Distress of duality
For eternal Fusion

Spiraling in, and Spiraling out
The One Oscillation
String of vibration

Silent whispers now aloud
Expression of Purpose
Form of Play

Why I this, why I that...

Why I Not

I AM

Spiraling in
Spiraling out
No Sin
No Doubt
All Love
Is All its about
Purposeful movement
Coming closer
to Kiss You-Me
My spinning partner
Along the wheel of dancing illusions

Why? Why not... I AM IS ALL I AM!

*Purpose of Life* (exploration part 2)

In Gurbani, beautiful Naad form of God... says so much about Hukam. Command or Will of God. This implies divine purpose in everything. That we might not know or understand what Hukam is, but that if we accept it and walk in it, our ego will not get in the way... and we'll find the way to salvation walking in His Will. "Hukam rajaee Chalnaa, Nanak Likia'n Nal"...

The difficulty arises when, as people of applied consciousness, we make choices (or at the very least are led to believe that we do), and if we don't know on a conscious level what is the Will, or if we are interpreting it correctly, then we don't know if or how we are following it. We ask - God tell me How. What exactly am I supposed to do... to follow your Will.

This is why we have questions about purpose, because we have to know on a conscious level the will of God. As Sikhs, we ask Guru Ji in the form of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji to guide us through hukamnama. Sometimes even then, we don't understand... the mind is clouded with doubts and biases, misunderstandings and desires that steer the way we perceive the Will. It is not easy being human...

Could it be, that even all of that is still in His Will - afterall, everything would be in His will, would it not?This entire play and struggle to find purpose... only to realise that we are living in a sea of purpose with every single thought and breath and action and movement... with every swirl and direction within the ocean... purposeful beyond our comprehension... divinely inspired, and divinely enacted... the divine playing with the divine in a purposeful and yet playful manner... and us children of divine play simply unaware...

Purpose of Life Quotes by Yogi Bhajan

"What is the purpose of life? The purpose of life is tomorrow. What is tomorrow? Tomorrow is getting up and knowing who you are, knowing that God is with you, and knowing you can handle yourself with grace"

~~~~

"The path of the spirit is very long, very deep and very lonely. Those who see to walk on it must seek the light of their own tiny soul to reach the infinity and the grandeur of the Godhood, the perfect, the infinite light. This is the purpose of life."

~~~~

"The purpose of life, the attitude of life, is to serve the soul. "

*Purpose of Life* (exploration part 1)

Ahh~~* Taking a deep breath, filling my lungs with prana, I contemplate my existence. What am I, who am I, what am I doing here, in this place, in this life. If indeed I am alive... is it a dream? Lucid imagination of One Mind? The play of the divine? What is my part, my role, my destiny in this flow of sacred energy...

Purpose is the biggest question - every philosopher has wondered - every man and woman of dreams - every artist - every spiritual - every saint - every person who's ever suffered has always asked this question. Why??

I myself have asked this question, over and over till I would find myself seeping into existential depression....

Viktor E. Frankl, author of "The Doctor and the Soul" and "Man's Search For Meaning" expresses how each person needs and yearns to have a sense of purpose, and it is this sense of purpose that propels us forward. He survived the Jewish holocaust and concentration camps while writing that book, because he had a purpose to finish it. He saw that it wasn't initial health that determined if someone lived or died, but instead their sense of purpose and meaning of life. When there is a perceived lack of sense of purpose, then people do not engage in anything, they don't support their life... the light in their eyes fades, and the mind goes into sadness, and the body withers from life force till there is nothing left. No point to the breath...

More than food, more than water, more than even breath... we need purpose. That's why we create families, communities, cultures, religions, philosophies of life, ways of life, reasons for doing things, make roles and careers and genders, and norms and goals... But even that does not satisfy the deepest most piercing question of ultimate purpose... Why do I exist even at all?

I've consulted my father on the question, when I was 9 years old "Papa, why do we exist? Why are we put on this Earth?"... he replied "To learn" advance in the spiral of spiritual evolution.

I've consulted the self-help books, they said "To better yourself" and "Everything happens for a reason although we might not know what that reason is".

I've consulted the books of many religions and they said "To be the gatekeepers of God's creation, to be devotional, to be find salvation, to find enlightenment, to praise and serve God and God's creation".

I've consulted the words of saints who said "You come here as something, to become nothing"... "You came out as an expression of God's infinity, and you shall return back to Him"... "Simply to remember your essence"... "To Play within the Play"... and "To Love"...

In this breath, I absorb these words and let them mix within my chemistry like sweet wine, sipping mystery. Flowing waves of mind and body, vibrating core of raw existence.

I might not know why - but I know that I am.

The beauty of feeling

We are not meant to be Emotionless. Faceless. Heartless. Without soul. We hold the sword in both hands, neutral minded, elegant warriors of peace, shanti shanti, sukhmani, rakhmani, bandh karo mera man. In the kirpan's darshan. So sharp, so piercing. I Am. /// i am. /// Echo of the sword, flame of truth, scorchingly pure emotion. Peirce me through and though. Make me feel..................................... oh so human. Dance within me, twist and writhe. Primal vibration, oscillation, movement. Move in me... yes move me. Move me to tears. Torture my mind into oblivion. Turn my heart-center to radiate out and out. Twist my soul from its hidden cage. Out and out to explore. My God. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1.......... embrace me with your endlessness of expression, collide with me, in and out, through and through, drench me, set me on fire. Primal scream ushering forth within me, indescribable essence, raw. And Beloved.

Those who love and put no limitation on it are Godbound."
