Q.131: Gurudev, I feel life is a like puppet show. So, what is the use or objective of doing anything?

 

Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

If an alien comes to this planet and watches football or cricket match, you know how will he react? Shocked!One leather ball and 22 people after it!It won’t make any sense to the Alien, and he would say just give them all one. 

Thousands of people watch and get crazy. People are wasting so much time and money, there seems to be no purpose.So a rational mind cannot understand a game. A rational mind always wants a purpose, some tangible result. Today, unfortunately, games have become wars and wars are like games! I am not giving you any answer. 

The answer for this should sprout in your mind. See what is the purpose of everything? If everything appears meaningless then congratulations to you! You have started on the path. This is the first sign of intelligence, of waking up. Otherwise we can keep doing same things all our life. It is very good question. 

Just feel lucky that this question has sprouted in you.
