What is the aim of life? Your question is very significant, perhaps the ancient most question. Man
has asked it since the very beginning. And millions of answers have been provided but no answer has
been successful. The question still remains. . . . According to religions, the aim of life is to renounce
it, to destroy it, to torture yourself in the name of some mythological, some hypothetical God. My
answer is Life’s aim is life itself – more life, deeper life, higher life, but life always. There is nothing
higher than life. Life is all in all. It is the God and it is the temple and it is the Holy Scripture – and to
live it totally, wholeheartedly, is the only religion. There is no other aim than to live with such
totality that each moment becomes a celebration. The very idea of ‘aim’ brings the future into the
mind, because any aim, any end, any goal, needs the future. All your goals deprive you of your
present, which is the only reality you have. The future is only your imagination, and the past is just
footprints left in the sands of your memory. Neither is the past real any more, nor is the future real
yet. This moment is the only reality. And to live this moment without any inhibition, without any
repression, without any greed for the future, without any fear – without repeating the past again
and again, but being absolutely fresh in every moment, fresh and young, unhampered by memories,
unhindered by imagination – you have such purity, such innocence, that only this innocence I call
godliness. To me; God is not someone who created the world. God is someone whom you create
when you live totally, intensely – with all your heart, not holding anything back. When your life
becomes simply a moment-to moment joy, a moment-to-moment dance, when your life is nothing
but a festival of lights – every moment is so precious because once it is gone, it is gone forever. . . .
Live joyously, contented, fulfilled, and sharing your love, your silence, your peace, letting your life
become such a beautiful dance that not only you feel blessed but you can bless the whole world –
that is the only authentic path. Life is itself the criterion; everything else is non-essential. Each
individual is unique and each individual life has a beauty in its uniqueness. So unique that you cannot
make a superhighway on which everybody has to travel to find the aim of life. On the contrary,
everybody has to find his life without following the crowd, but following his own inner voice, without
moving in a mob, but following a small footpath. That too is not created by anybody else. You create
it as you walk. The world of life and consciousness is almost like the sky – birds fly but they don’t
leave any footprints. As you live deeply, sincerely, honestly, you don’t leave any footprints and
nobody has to follow you. Everybody has to follow his own still, small voice. My emphasis on
meditation is so that you can hear your still, small voice – which will give you the guidance, the sense
of direction. No scripture can give it to you. No religion, no religious founder can give it to you
because they have been giving it to humanity for thousands of years and all their efforts have failed.
They have only created retarded people, unintelligent people, because they insisted on believing.
Don’t believe in anyone, including me. The moment you believe in someone, you lose intelligence.
Belief is almost like poison to your intelligence.
