Understand the purpose of life and thy shall become the knower of all!
Is there a purpose of life? What does it mean when men of wisdom say there is always a purpose in life? If there is life's purpose then why do most people while away their life without ever finding a purpose in life? What use living a purpose driven life without a defined purpose?
The answer to all the above queries on finding a purpose in life is the most crucial part of life for a human being. The purpose driven life is meant to be lived by living forms which have not yet evolved to the level of human beings. Why?
Simply because they are devoid of discriminatory powers to choose a goal in life! The insects, the plants and animals always live a purpose driven life. They simply have no goal in life. They are as they are. They simply have their existence and have to abide by the rules of evolution as defined by Charles Darwin in his theory of evolution.
Only when the living form reaches the level of a human being does one realize that human life is the highest manifest stage in the cosmic system. The moment a human being realizes that life has a purpose... one seeks the purpose of his life. Without a goal in life, Life seems to be incomplete!
As the child grows... one comes to learn that every human being has the potential of becoming a man god like Mahavira, Buddha, Jesus Christ and prophet Mohammed. Is that the crux of life! Is gaining salvation the end purpose of life!
If that be so... are we required to have a purpose in life linked to salvation as the present goal of life or is it that we can postpone traveling the spiritual path for the next manifestation.
The goal and the purpose of life for every human being are gaining enlightenment and finally salvation in the end. That may or may not be the purpose of life in the present manifestation. The purpose of life in the present phase can be best known by hearing the sweet small voice of our soul atman within our heart.
The purpose of life in every manifestation is driven by our soul atman within. It is our soul atman which has taken the body and not vice versa. The purpose of life is indirectly dictated by our soul atman within. If our deeds of the present life are not in consonance with the directives of our soul atman within... then heartburning, tensions and stresses become part of daily life.
Whatever act provides us complete relief... doing which we find extreme pleasure... something that we enjoy doing must form our goal of life. It is this goal of life pursuing which the purpose of our present life would be fulfilled.
It is surprising that almost above 95% people living on Mother Earth pass their life without ever having a purpose in life. It is almost like taking the routine path. If we are to ever curtail our cosmic journey... we need to find the purpose of our present manifestation. And this goal of life shall be prompted to us by our soul atman within.
By being truthful in life we can always hear the sweet small inner voice coming from within our heart. This voice of our soul atman within always guides us on the right path. Knowing the exact purpose of this life... half the life's journey is complete.
FDR (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) had a fixed purpose in life and that made him one of the most successful presidents USA ever had in spite of his severe handicaps. (FDR lost both of his legs). More on life here- http://www.godrealized.org/life/purpose_driven_life.html

If you are putting it to a litmus test, where life is at one end and death is at the other, then yes. It is a well known fact that death is absolute. One can never be kind of dead. By the reasoning of equal but opposite strengths, then life would be considered absolute. Although not eternal.

no longer something is absolute. A proper to existence might want to intend that taking existence might want to be a incorrect. Taking existence is a incorrect for the most section in accordance with what style of existence you're taking. in case you're taking someone's existence out of self-protection or for a larger purpose, then that is not any longer seen a incorrect with the aid of maximum persons. And even if that is not any longer a incorrect, then the right to existence isn't absolute. So it relies upon on what existence. existence is ambiguous because it would want to confer with any style of animal or all people. in the experience that your speaking about guidelines. that is different in numerous international places. contained in the U.S., no because you may die of the demise penalty and seeing that that is a danger for each body each body does no longer have an absolute proper to existence. contained in the structure, it says you've the right to existence, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, yet this stuff might want to be taken away, hence they don't seem absolute. also existence is ambiguous lower back. someone in detention middle does no longer have a lot of a existence, yet is living.

Its relative. As much as I'd like to define life in scientific terms and say that definition is absolute, I think all knowledge is tentative (contingent on somehting) and relative. Many cultures define life other than biological...

No. Life itself is not. The surety of death after birth is the only absolute. Everything else is subject to interpretation.
