What is the ultimate purpose of life? Earning money or happiness? How can this stupid thing be the purpose of life?
The common happiness that we know, I have said, has two characteristics: one, it is an acquired conditioning, and second, it depends on the presence of sadness. So, if you want to be happy, you must be sad. How many of you want deep happiness? You must go and first become deeply sad!
Joy is reasonless. Joy is not a product of anything. It is uncaused, it is reasonless. Only a man whose mind is not bogged down under the weight of a thousand types of influences and conditioning, only that man is capable of love.
Be light. Be aware. Be loving. That is the purpose of life. Simple.
