What is the goal of life ?

Questioner : What goal must a human being have?

Dadashri: Liberation should be the only goal. You do want liberation don't you? For how much longer do you want to keep on wandering aimlessly? You have done just this for infinite lives. You have not left any place to wander. You have wandered aimlessly between different gatis: janwar gati (animal kingdom), manushya gati (human form) and devagati (celestial form). Why did you have to suffer such endless wanderings? Because you have not known your true identity; you have not known the answer to "Who Am I?" Should you not know your Real Self? Despite your extensive wanderings of countless lives, you do not even know who you really are. Is making money your only goal in life? Should you not be making a little attempt toward liberation?

Questioner : Yes, an effort should be made.

Dadashri: Is there not a need then to become independent? How long can you be in such bondage?

Questioner : I believe it is not necessary to become independent but rather to understand the need for becoming independent.

Dadashri: Yes, that understanding is necessary. It is enough to understand it just once. Even if you cannot become independent, at least there is a need to understand it, right? Independence will come later on but for the time being the understanding is enough.

Relarted Spiritual Quotes by Param Pujya Dadashri: 1) The essence of human life is to come into one's nature of the Self (Soul), get awakened and remain only in 'Self'.
2) Having born as a human, one has to distinguish between, 'what is of the Self', and 'what is of the non-Self'.
