Stay on with the purpose in life with bells on

Google the purpose

When you think deeply and try to contemplate on why you exist, what your purpose in life is, what do you endeavor to achieve, you need to listen. Reach out within the deepest recesses of your mind, heart and there you would find the answer on why do you feel the need to change, improve, excel, win in your endeavors, in your relations, in your expectations of yourself and of others. The kernel and shell of life is work. We need to be happy workers. The purpose of work is happiness, which certainly includes taking care of our basic needs. Foremost among them is the need to attain fulfillment which involves growth and climbing ladders having purpose of life is not lost somewhere down the life. We have a duty to show the world to which we belong in a better light. I believe that change is possible.  The creative expression of our power lies in growing into the better as a human and a person. Our rich potential future will go to dogs if lose the purpose in life.

Story of Buckminster Fuller’s life was once like most people, full of going to parties, football etc. He was a “wild lad" in his early days.  Then something happened which changed his life forever.  His daughter Alexandra who was only around 6 years old was very sick at that time. He left the house one day, promising to be back soon. Before he left, he promised Alexandra, he would bring her back one of the small flags that they have at the football, as it was her birthday. Buckminster Fuller didn't return home after the football. He didn't return home for three days. Presumably he was partying. When he finally arrived home, his wife told him to not to waste time apologizing to her, but to go upstairs and see his daughter immediately. Alexandra had taken a turn for the worse. When Fuller picked his daughter up in his arms, he said hello to her. Then she asked him if he had brought the flag. The disappointment was enough to end her slender hold on life. She died in his arms.

After that Fuller felt so bad, he went for a walk, and decided to end his life. But as the story goes, he heard a voice saying something along these lines -``you do not have the right to end your life. It is not yours to end. Your life has a purpose. You have not yet done what you came here to do."


Guru Nanak Sahib was born on 15th April, 1469 at Rai-Bhoi-di Talwandi in the present distrect of Shekhupura (Pakistan), now Nanakana Sahib. Guru Nanak's father, Mehta Kalyan Das, popularly known as Mehta Kalu was the agent and Chief Accountant of Rai Bular. Guru Nanak 's mother was Mata Tripta, a simple, pious and extremely religious woman. At the age of 38, in August 1507, Guru Nanak Sahib heard God 's call to dedicate himself to the service of humanity after bathing in "Vain Nadi" (a small river). The very first sentence which he uttered then was, "There is no Hindu, no Musalman". He then undertook long travels to preach his unique and divine doctrine (Sikhism). He rejected the path of renunciation Tyaga or Yoga, the authority of the Vedas and the Hindu caste system. Guru Nanak Sahib emphasized the leading of householder's life (Grista), unattached to gross materialism. He attacked the citadel of caste system of Hindus and theocracy of Muslim rulers. He was a born poet. He wrote 974 hyms and these were included in Guru Granth. He was also a perfect musician. He with the company of Bhai Mardana composed such tunes in various Indian classical Ragas that charmed and awed wild creatures like Babar, subdued saging kings, raved bigots and tyrants, converted thugs and robbers saints. He was a reformer as well as a revolutionary.
