WHY ARE WE IN THIS WORLD?

Life on Earth can often seem perplexing, especially when we witness the sudden passing of someone who seemed to have it all - education, wealth, fame, and position. We question the meaning of achieving material success only to leave it all behind without fully experiencing its benefits.

Perhaps our confusion stems from our narrow pe
rspective, limited to earthly matters. Yet, there is a broader picture that offers clarity and understanding.

Consider these five points:

1. The earth represents the lowest realm within the broader Creation. Beyond our earthly existence, there exist higher planes offering humans elevated levels of joy and peace. Hence, transitioning from this earthly life to a higher sphere of existence is not abnormal, is not necessarily a punishment or a tragedy no matter how sudden or the forms the exit takes. Being human, the occurrence itself may be shocking to us, may make us sad but this does not negate the fact that life continues for the departed and they are not consigned into oblivion. It may well be that the living soul of the departed is already abiding and experiencing life in sunny meadows of this wonderful Creation! Of course, a departed one will be attracted and held fast to the area in the beyond which is similar to how his life on earth was lived.

2. The purpose of life extends beyond material success; it is about aligning with the Will of God. Without a clear understanding of our purpose in life, then life loses meaning. Recognising our path beyond this life is crucial for understanding our purpose here.

3. Our experiences on Earth are meant to lead us to spiritual maturity and a deeper understanding of God's Laws. Through these experiences, it becomes natural for individuals to serve God by adhering to His Laws. Please note this point well as it already discloses the purpose of life on earth!

4. The Laws of God orchestrate our circumstances to provide the experiences necessary for us to attain spiritual maturity and truly recognize God. Keeping this in mind, we understand that our current conditions - be it wealth or poverty, health or illness, peace or conflict, joy or sorrow - are all avenues guiding us towards a deeper understanding of God, which is the ultimate purpose of life.

5. Understanding the purpose of our lives fills us with gratitude for every moment and experience. With this understanding, we will naturally gain profound insights and eschew the pursuit of material possessions solely for personal gain. Instead, we will dedicate each moment of our lives to spiritual growth, leading to a joyful existence and the purest form of happiness.

May we all attain clarity and understanding of these matters, and may we be strengthened to gain valuable insights from the numerous experiences we encounter throughout our lives on earth daily and hourly!
