What is life? What is the purpose of life? Why is human being entered into life? Is this life given to achieve a goal? The whirlwind of life is not making a person oblivious to the purpose for which life has been given to him? These are all questions that keep echoing in the mind of a conscious lifer.
It seems as if every creature except man is aware of the purpose of his life. Between her birth and her death she does not do anything that causes her any regret. In other words, the concept of sin and error is perhaps only possessed by Hazrat-e-Insan. Perhaps because the wealth of authority lies only with man. This option is the option to choose a purposeless and a purposeful life. It has been seen that as far as there is authority, there is accountability. The truth is that man’s life is only as far as he has power. All life outside of authority is a scenario for him. A news bulletin, or a scenario that man can see but cannot interfere with. The greater the authority, the greater the life and the greater the response!
Even if a person does not believe in any transcendental religion, he is accountable to his own conscience. Man addresses himself before addressing God. He does not submit to God until he satisfies himself. It seems as if man first has to believe in his inner self and then he needs a divine entity in duality to serve him. There is an authentic hadith: “When you have no modesty left, do whatever you want.”
He who does not stand in the court of his conscience, he will not respect the court of any religion or society. Obedience out of fear is only obedience to the law. Obedience to passion is called servitude. The servant and the Lord… and the Lord and the servant… Where this bond was established, the purpose of life began to be clear. One servant and one God… This unity is required so that the faith of solitude is awakened… the “virtues” shown to the society. The virtues based on hypocrisy are destroyed. Thank goodness that religion requires sincerity. Sincerity alone gives salvation from the life of pretense. Religion is the true religion. It is looking for a true servant. True religion is for a true servant. The first truth man speaks to himself. A man lies to himself before lying to others
He has lied. Before deceiving others, a person has deceived himself.
Finding a purpose in life is the fortune of a true person. Looking for a false person is also false. He seeks the world in the name of God. And when this world passes in front of him sometimes in the form of fame, sometimes wealth and sometimes women, he reaches his “destination” and his desired destination. On reaching he forgets everything. Companions, fellow travelers, guides… loved ones, relatives, brothers and sisters, wives and children… He forgets everything. His eyes are on a “sky” but his feet are off the ground. He has forgotten the way home. A runner after a cut kite meets with an accident.
Destination is not the name of any achievement. Every destination is a landmark. Ahl al-Nazar call Qibla as Qibla. That which is attained, is not God. What is attained is called the world. God is transcendent and always transcends all levels of understanding. He who falls under the understanding of creatures is not called God. That which is infinite, the journey towards it will also be infinite. Travel to the destination is limited. A limited journey stops at a limited destination. One life is not enough for the pursuit of the infinite. It requires another life. A life that never ends. If the finite can “bring” itself, then the infinite can be capable of travel. The journey of getting out of oneself is the proof of the journey towards God. “Man aka Nafsa Qad aka Raba”. Self-realization requires self-mastery. The defeated cannot recognize the dominant. According to Iqbal, God is the God of the living.
Purification of the self is necessary to recognize the self. Only a muzki self can know itself. Self is like a mirror. A mirror or mirror is a semantic connection between the original and the mirror. This connection helps in recognition. Man discovers the futility of life and returns to his original purpose. Fortunately, if the futility of wealth, fame and other worldly pleasures is revealed to a person prematurely, then he finds the way to his real goal in time. The one who comes out from the outside must find a way out to the inside. As soon as he discovers this path, those who have already discovered this path will be revealed to him. Those who are guided to this path are said to be rewarded. There is a difference between blessed and rewarded. There will be a question about the blessings. And the reward is a grace of God. He adds to His grace whomever He wills… He adds to the blessed. These are its guides, this is our journey. And this is the end of the journey!!
Self-purification requires a soul. The book does not purify. The book shows the path of the purified. The book leads to the owner of the book. And then the owner of the book knows how to write a new book. Even so, you are ordered to read your book!!
After being empowered, one who is powerless is weak. Searching for the purpose and achieving the purpose of life is not the ability of a low-level person. When a powerful person renounces his authority for the sake of God, then this is a proof of his self-control. This is also a proof of his piousness. It is honored.
Without diving inward, we cannot discover a purpose outside that gives access to God. God is outside, God is inside. The discovery of purpose is a personal quest. The goal of life is to reach the essence of the self. Plurality is outside. Unity is inside. Acquaintance with unity of caste is the key to acquaintance with oneness of caste. This one-to-one meeting gives an introduction to the purpose of life. Unity of self introduces unity of purpose.
All that is on the earth and in the sky declares the glorification of Allah. Because they are all aware of their purpose of creation. They do not have the power to be oblivious. Man becomes oblivious. That is why he is not joining the people of praise. He counts the gifts and blessings carefully. That their purpose is to achieve and receive an external goal, but it is not included in the state of glorification.
It is in the Holy Qur’an that We created the jinn and humans for Our worship. Hazrat Ali bin Uthman Al-Hujwiri, the author of Kashf al-Mahjub, interprets it as meaning “created for his knowledge”. As if the goal of worship is divine knowledge. Hazrat Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, says: “That worship does not benefit you which does not increase your knowledge.” As if the purpose of life is worship, but the purpose of worship is knowledge. The purpose of the creation of the universe is also that the creator of the universe should be recognized. Hadith Qudsi is “I wanted to be recognized, so I created creation.”
