Questioner (Q): Sir, my question is, what should be ones the purpose of life? Is it earning money, or happiness?
Acharya Prashant (AP): The lady is asking, ‘What is the ultimate purpose of life?’ She has already presented us two options: Earning money, and second happiness. But you already know. You have already discounted everything else and zeroed on to two options. What are they? That the purpose could be either to earn money, or it could be to be happy.
Alright. So, let’s first look at these two. What does one earn money for?
Q: For livelihood.
AP: And, why does one want a livelihood?
Q: For comfort.
AP: What does comfort give you?
Q: Satisfaction and happiness.
