What is the aim of life? The objects of the world and our attachments to them prevent us from realizing the purpose of life. Have you ever thought that the objects of the world can be used for the purpose of spiritual development? Mostly due to ignorance this attitude is not even consider. We have deep attachment for all the objects of the world.
We forget that this world and our time in it are only our playground for our own growth, for spiritual advancement. The pleasures of life and the attachment to them are the cause of suffering as we become slaves of them. We use the objects for self gratification and this leads to suffering. Sadhana or Spiritual practice help us to sharpen the power of discrimination so all the pains and suffering are converted into joy.
You do not have to wait for the next lifetime you can achieve it right here and now.
The full practice of sadhana is the best life, a yogi truly enjoys life. the one attached to the pleasures of the world lives in constant pain and suffering . In order to enjoy the pleasures of life one has to become a yogi.
Live in the world but remain above, imagine the lotus flower , it is on the water , remaining above. Practice meditation and become a yogi and conquer life. Be the director of your life , be your master and walk the Spiritual Path on the light of Truth.
