What is the reason for which we are born in this world?

Question

If we ask question from ourselves:
Pointing towards our eyes we say these are my eyes, towards the head and say it is my head, towars hands and say these are my hands. By all these question and their answers, it is proved that I am not these things including whatever body part. THEN WHAT I AM ??

Answer 1

Because of the sex between your parents.

Answer 2

You have asked two questions: 1) the reason we are born in this world and 2) what I am. The second question should come first because after understanding what you are, then you will know why you are here.

Yes, you are correct to say that none of the body parts is our identity. You are the spirit soul riding in the vehicle of the body. The life force within the body is the spirit soul-- you. Life means eternal spirit. There is nothing 'alive' about the body. The body is a bag of chemicals only all of which can be either manufactured in the lab or procured from a cadaver. Yet, if anyone were to take all the constituents of a human body, put them in their proper places, proper ratios, etc, etc, no one in their right mind would believe this body was 'alive'. It would still lay there as the bag of chemicals it is.

For those who think the body is alive by itself without any need to mention the spirit soul: why has no scientist or doctor or anyone ever given life to a dead body? If this soul-less idea is scientific, then they should prove it in the lab. Make a living body from a dead one. It should be easy with all the medical knowledge we have. The reason that no one has done it is because there is more to life than the body. The body is a vehicle only, nothing more. The driver and occupier of the body is the eternal spirit soul, the spiritual energy of the Lord. Because the soul is eternal and the body is temporary, the soul must leave and find a new vehicle when the body is no longer viable. That leaving is what we call death. In reality the body was never alive in the first place.

The purpose of life is to give pleasure to the Supreme life, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That is the reason we exist. We are His eternal, spiritual energy, and our constitutional position is to serve His desires. At the present time we find ourselves covered by material bodies and minds and therefore bewildered by the illusory energy. In this state we think we are these temporary bodies and minds. With this misidentification as the basis for our consciousness, how can we know what is the purpose of our life? If a madman thinks himself to be someone he is not, how can he understand what he should or should not do? First we have to understand who we are before we can know what the purpose of our life is.

There are basically two paths. One path is to think we are the body and when the body dies we are finished also. In that view, what possible purpose could anyone's life have? If we all return to dust in the end, any endeavor to make sense of life is just a madman's game. Instead of having a true purpose in life, the rationale becomes simply to 'enjoy' life, which is nothing more than animal life.

On the other hand, if we are actually eternal and the body is just the vehicle we have for a few years, then our purpose becomes very clear. Our purpose is to understand our eternal nature and what our relationship is to the Supreme. This is the process of self-realization-- purification of consciousness. The advantage of human life is that we are able to inquire about the Absolute Truth and the purpose of life. The animals and other lower life forms cannot do this. But if in the human life a person doesn't make this inquiry, he is no better than an animal.

We are born into this world to learn what is our eternal, spiritual nature and that our eternal activity is to be engaged in the transcendental loving service of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This state of consciousness is our constitutional position and when we are established in that consciousness we live life full of bliss and perfect knowledge.

Answer 3

A physical body springs forth from unfulfilled desires & unfulfilled karma (bondage).As long as there are files pending on your table you are not granted long leave.With no Purushartha(fresh actions committed with attachment)& just Prarabdha (reactions/results of past actions)left over your body shall fall off like a ripe fruit w/o further incarnations(births)

What am I?I am not the body it belongs to me .Similarly you may analyse whether you are your mind.My mind is running after the fleeting worldly pleasures in vain ....So that means ,the mind also belongs to me ,I am even beyond the subtle thoughts which make up my mind.Analyse & you'll realise.
Well,What am I,then?I am not the body ,I am not the mind .Go beyond them too.Then What am I ?
I am That - Soham
What is That?
That is Eternal Consciousness Bliss - Sat Chit Ananda.
Meditate deeply you are on the right track !Just knock and the door of inner vision shall be opened unto you .Just a little tilt in your consciousness and you have reached your goal of Self Realisation.

Answer 4

Because your father and mother gave birth to you. You have raised a great problem, a real koan. Think about it. "Why was I born? To feed myself? To love? To acquire knowledge?" That question is the object of our life. And what do other people think? Each person has a different opinion. Some say, to perfect our life or mankind; others say, to enable consciousness to be incarnated or in order that cosmic life can be lived individually. Each of these replies is correct. This is the question on which all religions are based. Buddha, discovering zazen, solved the problem of birth and death........

Answer 5

You are the sum of your parts. Nothing more, nothing less. As much as it pains people to hear this (particularly religious types) you were born in this world by an accidently meeting of a bunch of cells which developed into you. Now what you do with your time here is up to you.

Answer 6

Any religion will answer these questions. Otherwise also there are naswers given by many philosophers who were neutral to god. Gautam Budha the great founder of Budhist culture. J.Krishnamurhty in recent times also has answered.

Answer 7

We were put on earth to ask those questions. Otherwise, we would have been eaten by now. The strong will eat the weak, and the smart will eat the strong.

Answer 8

There is a twin reason_ 'BHOG" and 'APWARG"
Bhog means to undergo the punishment for our past 'karmas' and 'apwarg' means the opportunity given to us to conduct ourselves in a manner to earn a better life in our next and ultimately to acuire bliss by getting out of the cycle of death and birth.
