My philosophy of life is... we have only one life to live! Why not live it at its best! Secondly we must have a definite goal in life... something indulging in which we lose track of time... something we truly love from within... something dear to our heart! Whatever be the goal of life... going after it with all eggs in one basket is the essence of life!
The bulldog determination of Winston Churchill always comes to our rescue! Having a definite goal in life... a burning desire is journey half complete! Life itself is a journey... not a destination! We must love and live every moment of life. That is what manifest form of human life was destined for!
When 11 years of age... I wanted to go in search of God! By 13 years my desire turned into firm conviction... come whatever may I shall within this life come face-to-face with God! Traveling the uncharted path of spirituality was a calculated risk... having absolute faith in the entity of God made it all possible!
Assisted by the sweet small inner voice of our soul atman within... I finally realized God in 1993! The sweet small inner voice of our soul atman that seems to come from within our heart always guides us on the right path. Those who travel the path of absolute truthfulness distinctly hear the voice of our soul atman within... never otherwise!
Practicing patience, persistence and perseverance at every stage of life is an essential must. Forgiveness is another ingredient that needs to be practiced to cut across the shackles of karma... the bondage of karma! Crossing the ocean of Samsara (worldly life) is no doubt difficult... but not impossible!
Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed... all did it! All these man gods gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha) in their lifetime! All reached the cosmic end of life... the 8.4 millionth manifestation... when one gains enlightenment and salvation!
Having regained its prime pristine pure form... the liberated soul atman finally enters the abode of God... the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism). Reaching the end goal of life is something that cannot be defined in words. Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred Scripture of Hinduism on Mother Earth explains it all.
The knower of Bhagavad Gita finally becomes the knower of all! One gains enlightenment and salvation within ones lifetime! One finally gains the status of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet Mohammed! No wonder how many times we eat hell for breakfast... one must never quit... no matter what!

Go with the flow, don't sail into a gale, the trend is your friend, and bend like a reed.

You are born.
You live.
You die.
And yes, I speed read the Gettysburg Address.

Being. Be who you are. It restores a person to their own rightful dignity as a spiritual Being.

In a phrase: Live for something, rather than die for nothing.

There is no meaning or purpose to anything whatsoever: Nihilism.
