“The purpose of man’s existence is just to live as best we can, accumulate
material wealth, get married and have children and if possible have as many
earthly honours as possible and if we are successful in these and in the end
get a religious burial, then our purpose has been achieved.”
According to this belief we live only
once and as such we should materially make the best out of it. The reality of
our lives, however, is often different and testifies to the fact that this
world view is wrong. What is the purpose of being born, growing up and going to
school, getting a job, getting married and accumulating material wealth only to
leave all these things behind again when we die? No wonder some people say that
life on earth is inexplicable!
It is inconceivable to imagine that the
Omniscient Father would create us just solely for the above mentioned gross
material based purpose. What we have accepted as the way of our lives today is
simply our own creation. We have devised this way and "purpose of
life" for ourselves. The purpose for which we were created has been lost
to us because for thousands of years we have failed to listen to those sent by
God who could tell us what this purpose was. We preferred to create our own
purpose because we preferred to be masters instead of servants. We did not want
to hear what God wanted for us and what He had designed for our existence. We
wanted to listen only to our own voices. This is why today the purpose of our
lives is lost to us.
All the various prophets of old were
never truly successful because we never allowed them to be successful. They
were persecuted, slandered and even killed in some cases until finally we
committed the unthinkable: the murder of the Son of God sent to us to show us
the way out of our shameful ignorance.
If you wish to know the real purpose of
life I urge you to examine the book In The Light Of Truth: The Grail Message by
Abd-ru-shin.
But today you can experience briefly what the author of the
Grail Message has said on this matter. I quote:
“Only those exhibiting
the most reprehensible thoughtlessness can imagine that the purpose of man’s
existence consists primarily of pursuing and gaining physical necessities and
enjoyments, and that at the last moment, through a few beautiful words and some
external ceremonies, he could be conveniently freed from all guilt and from the
consequences of his own indolent carelessness during his life on earth! The
passage through life and the step into the beyond at physical death is not the
same as an everyday journey for which one only needs to buy a ticket at the
last moment!
With such a belief man
doubles his guilt, for every doubt in the incorruptible Justice of the Perfect
God is blasphemy! To believe in an arbitrary, easy forgiveness of sins,
however, is a manifest proof of doubt in the incorruptible Justice of God and
His Laws and, what is more, such a person directly confirms his belief that God
acts arbitrarily, which amounts to the same thing as being deficient and
imperfect.
Poor wretched
believers!
It would be better for
them if they were still unbelievers, for then they would be unhindered and
could more easily find the way they imagine they have already found!”
From the lecture: I am the Lord thy God!
