The true purpose of life is no purpose.
.
Purpose is different than to have a meaning.
Purpose means you are trying to reach somewhere, to reach some goal.
But if you are aware of the meaning, then you live in the present.
Because we are searching to have a purpose, a lot of the time our ego gets big through those purpose we’ve found or through the purpose we even haven’t found.
A lot of brutal things happen when people have a greedy ego purpose and everything that stops them on their way they will destroy it. No awareness of all the other beautiful things and meanings from other people’s, other life’s their purpose or their meaning.
So purpose a lot of the time is created by our ego and greed. In fact, it doesn’t bring you happiness. Many people don’t have a purpose and they are happy. When we are kids we don’t have a purpose, we just naturally enjoy to play. To play is not a purpose, it’s in the present to enjoy the game.
When you have a purpose you are no longer wanting to observe the reality. Because the only thing you are going to observe is towards that purpose. That makes you have a strong passionate force, in the wrong direction. Because you are not aware of reality from many many angles anymore. You don’t care about observing anymore.
So people truly aware of the meaning of life, is different to people with passion with a purpose. If they are aware of the true meaning of life they realise not to be searching and crazy for their personal greed for anything is the purpose. For that they will have no purpose. So no purpose is the purpose.
Because any purpose takes you out of the purpose of life. It makes you searching and crazy greedy for your own personal issue and personal greed and personal want. The true meaning of life is actually to enjoy life. Enjoy life you have to be aware of life and life only happens in the present. So our heart if it’s all trapped in the past and then form the cause of the past greed and searching for the future for something that has not yet arrived, not yet appeared, we miss all the present. Continue doing that, cause from the greed from the past, searching for the ambition of the purpose of the future. We continue to miss every true present.
That means we are living but we don’t have a life.
Because life means constantly changing in every present. It’s two parts, one is constantly changing and one is every present. So there’s no such thing as present no changing. So able to match the changing in all the present, means you have to be aware.
Because since it’s changing you cannot have a set one idea, because everything keep changing. So you have to keep observing self being to match all the changing. And that makes you have to stay aware.
If you are not trying to be aware then you actually don’t have life. Because to have a life is to be aware more. Once you’re not aware of more, then you are already no life.
So the purpose of life is to enjoy life. It’s also the true meaning of life. That will only happen when you out of any greedy blind personal purpose. So no purpose is the purpose.
Every purpose makes you out of: live in present ability.
When you have a purpose your heart is in a searching ambitious zone, making your heart not free as it’s trapped in that zone. Never content. Unable to relax in the present. It;s only when you have no purpose then can you suddenly realise that wah you’re free, your heart is free.
When your heart is not free then that is definitely not the meaning of life.
A lot of kids in the present they smile and are joyful from heart, but a lot of adults when they grow up they cannot do this anymore. Because they are already into this blind habit of searching for the purpose. Then all the purpose become a jail for them.
But when we are kids a lot of time we have no purpose and our heart was content, by enjoying something.
But that pure content to enjoy nature, enjoy some activity, most people lose it because they have too many purpose.
Want to keep a happy relaxed heart then we have to have no purpose.
But the problem is a happy child heart with no purpose will a lot of the time enjoy life in a stupid way. So we still have to develop wisdom to observing self being ability of how to have the wisdom to guide no purpose in a meaningful way.
To have a clear meaning but not for a greedy purpose in the future, that’s what the complete view to understand what no purpose is the purpose of life means.
The meaning of life we didn’t talk about it very deeply. We just said enjoy life. When you enjoy life you never ask what’s the meaning of life because you already enjoy life. You don’t worry about the meaning as you are already enjoying life. You reach somewhere you are not going to ask ‘oh am i going to reach somewhere’ as you already reached it. When you are there you never have any questions, it’s only when you’re not happy then you are searching for something.
Enjoy life means you already live in the present, you are out of searching, you’re already content.
But to be able to have the ability to enjoy life requires a lot of wisdom, because it needs many different kinds of ability.
You need:
Foundation observing ability, to observe life from many many clear and complete angles, so you don’t get lost by doing something stupid
That’s why one side you have to keep a child heart. One side you have to develop wisdom.
Because you don’t want to do sometihng stupid with that enjoy life, no purpose attitude.
No purpose and enjoy life doesn’t mean that you can just behave childish and in a stupid way, because that causes suffering.
Happy child heart and purely enjoy every present is beautiful. But without sidom to support it, it can be dangerous and suffering.
Every heart when they are truly happy and content there is no question and no searching for any purpose. They have already arrived. Like the Dao – The true goal is in the present.
So the true happiness is like the Dao. When you reach it it means you are already happy in the present. But you have to search for it, I mean you don’t understand Dao, you don’t understand the true meaning of life. But once you understand then no more searching.
Cool right? Cool subject.
To develop wisdom you have to observe both the essence and the changing.
Observe the essence you remain calm and pure. Because the essence is not any of this changing, so you are free from this insecure changing and through that you have pure essence to handle all the changing.
In Chinese they say – aware the wisdom of no changing to handle all the changing.
Because if you use changing to handle all the changing, it’s very stressful and tiring. You will also feel very insecure.
But if you have a very perfect centre that is being kind and being wise in a pure way, that doesn’t change. Then outside can change to whatever and it won’t matter, as nothing is going to change you because you already are living in the meaning of life. Being that pure kindness and wise centre without changing.
But to handle all outside, your kindness still needs convenient wisdom. Becuase you want to be kind to a kid or a baby or someone who is hungry and give them food, you will not give them all the same amount of food. So the kindness is the same, but the way to handle the kindness towards different situation is different.
So one side you remain aware of the essence, you remain peaceful, calm and safe, no changing.
The other side you’re aware of all the changing, then you develop convenient wisdom. Your observation gives you the ability to have wisdom to create all kinds of systems to handle all different types of changing.
System is an important word. Because if you change things without a system, then the power you develop will be for the short term. It’s only when it becomes a system then it becomes the long term. It becomes a larger capability. Discipline to create many systems for all types of different timing, consciousness, different space. You can’t look after a fish the same way you would a cat. Then the timing can change so you have to continue to update your system, can’t just stay the same.
Child heart is just happy playful heart to enjoy, playing, sharing and enjoy the wonder of life in the present.
We grow up we think we know everything, and we wonder why am i not happy. And that’s why, we killed the mysterious wonder of life. We killed the truth of life. You’re i know everything is in fact you don’t know anything. And because you think you know everything but of course you don’t know anything, that makes you the most blind person. And then you’re out of observation and you’re not curious to know any other people’s observation or angle and life. Because of that everyone becomes your enemy because you are not aware of them. They are all against you anyway because you are against all of them.
So open heart and open mind will live in the present, always humble, always tolerant and always observing to be aware of more angles of life. Never have a big ego to say i know everything. Willing to share what they know, willing to develop what they know and also willing to change what they know if they see the truth have more angels. They always remain true heart, sincere heart to update their information, if what they are aware is not complete. They remain truthful and want to be aware of more truth.
If they don’t have a truthful sincere heart that wants to be aware of more than what they already know, they basically kill their happiness.
So learning is happiness, open heart is happiness, tolerance is happiness, harmony is happiness, open mind is happiness, observing all of this is happiness.
Observing life is happiness.
Observing self being is happiness.
Happiness is everywhere we just not able to use our treasure born within our heart..
