32. Find Purpose:
‘Find purpose’ is a very wide term used in general terminology.
There are three aspects of finding the purpose.
1. Find
the purpose of others behavior.
2. Find
the purpose of your set backs/adversity.
3. Find
the purpose of your life.
1.
We are generally unhappy with the behavior of our close
relatives. The more closer/intimate the relationship, the more you are hurt by
their slightest rough behavior. What you have to do is to find the purpose in the behavior
rather that the method.
When I was studying in
the school I used to remain very much unhappy with one of my teacher who used
to give lot of home work. One day my father explained it to me that it is good
for you to do more home work. You will become expert in mathematics by doing
good amount of practice.
“It is like talking a bitter
medicine for your health.” He continued to explain it to me.
I do not remember
whether I understood this advice or not. However, if I look back at this, I am convinced
that, it has made my career as an engineer. Now I could understand that, what
is required to be observed is the purpose behind any action and not the process
of doing it.
2. When some adversity
strikes, you may feel overwhelmed by this situation. The most difficult part
here is to find the purpose in adversity. When I had some mood swings ten years
back. I was literally overwhelmed by it, leave aside finding the purpose. But
now, as I look back, I feel it has given me immense wisdom and clear attitude
towards the problems. I am in fact, proud of the fact that, I have privilege of
having, first hand experience of what I meant by ‘mood swing’. All the
techniques mentioned here in this booklet are tested for months together before
it reaches you. These are not the words of some books taken directly to show knowledge
over the issue. It has in fact, given an idea to help others who are struggling
to come out of their shell and tame the monster within.
Almost all social organizations, those who help others in
crisis are outcome of some person/s efforts who has found a purpose in his own
adversity. An extension of finding such purpose may lead to purpose of
life.
When we say that, purpose of life is liberation no body knows
what it actually mean to be liberated. To the best of my knowledge, forgetting
your own problems, helping others and while doing so to remain blissful is liberation,
a true liberation.
Find
the purpose at all levels.
Find
the purpose in adverse condition, you are in today.....and find motivation.
