PURPOSE OF HUMAN BIRTH
When a human being takes birth , he is so innocent that he does not understand the purpose of his birth . When he reaches seven years old and above , he starts understanding this world through his ego . This ego has to be educated about the purpose of his birth .
We , the parents and the society never remind the child about the purpose of his birth . We want to lead a life without any purpose or goal .
We want the child to get educated maximum to his capacity and from the education he becomes cultured . After the completion of his education , we want him to get employment and start earning money . Then the next is the marriage for him and advise him to have children . He becomes the father and continue the same pattern of educating the child , get employed and get married . The father gets retried from his service and his time will be spent with the family and children till he leaves this world and he dies one day without reaching anywhere .
At what stage do we find the purpose in the life between birth and death ? Animals too have life from birth to death with lesser responsibilities and they also have no purpose in their life . The difference between human beings and animals is the education , culture , employment , marriage and retirement , otherwise human being also do not achieve anything in his life like animals .
Then why did we take birth as human beings ? In the process of evolution , human being is the highest evolved species among all the species . What is the specialty of a human being ? Why is he induced with such specialty ?
The specialty of a human being is that he has the human mind . Generally parents and the society do not utilize the specialty . We have not really understood the purpose of birth of human being with human mind . We utilize it with feelings and emotions . Without these feelings and emotions he is not a human being at all . But the same feeling and emotion are the cause of negative quality such as fear , anxiety , worries etc ..
At the same time these emotions and feelings are the cause for happiness , bliss , joy etc .. If a human being is experiencing the positive feelings alone , his purpose of birth is almost fulfilled . Still he has to reach the goal . Once the human being starts experiencing the positive feelings alone , avoiding all the negative feelings he begins his journey to reach the goal . This Journey is called Divine Journey .
This Divine journey begins only with positive feelings and not with negative feelings . Initially these positive feelings are created from the materialistic world . When he starts his journey towards Divine , he starts experiencing positive feelings within himself , without depending upon the materialistic world.
This journey begins with peace and goes on further with an enlightened mind , spiritual positivity , realization of the self , experiencing the liberation and finally becoming Divine
