What is the purpose of life?

The purpose of life is to experience the connection with that single and united Supreme Power called "God".

How do we experience that connection with that power?

By the realization that life is a prison, that all living creatures are imprisoned in their bodies.

Thus the realization of the Non-duality of existence.

The One-ness of being.

YOUR SOUL IS EVERY SOUL.

But this unision can only be experienced by the Pureness of mind.

How can we make our minds Pure?

By surrendering to the concept of Sacrifice.

The Pain thus, experienced by sacrifice, seems endless.

And Time seems to stretch itself into eternity.

This "sad" state of mind is called "Only Time".

But, then comes the realization that all living beings are always at the mercy of God at every given moment of existence.

This thankful state of mind is called "No Time".

("No Time = Timelessness = Only Time")

This then gives rise to Faith in the Supreme Power.

Then, as our Faith becomes stronger, we start to experience Happiness.

Over period of this time cycle, Happiness converts itself into Bliss.

And, slowly, Bliss converts itself into universally eternal Love.

And we merge into the Supreme Power called God.

But, all this has to be experienced by our bodies over the spans of our lives.

Then, and only then, we achieve the purpose of Life.

And we merge into the universal Supreme Power consciousness forever, never to be born again.
