The True Aim of Life “Only one thing is important, it is to find the Divine. For each one and for the whole world anything becomes useful if it helps to find the Divine. * * * Yes, to live in the consciousness of the Divine Presence is the only thing that matters. 2 June 1934 * * * To want only what the Divine wants in us and for us, is the one important thing. 5 April 1935 * * * The individual self and the universal self are one; in every world, in every being, in each thing, in every atom is the Divine Presence, and man’s mission is to manifest it. 30 October 1951 * * * We are upon earth to manifest the Divine’s will. 27 July 1954 * * * The only important thing is the goal to be attained. The way matters little, and often it is better not to know it in advance. 15 November 1954 * * * Whatever we do, we must always remember our aim. 7 December 1954 * * * The aim of our life on earth is to become conscious of the Divine. * * * The true purpose of life – To live for the Divine, or to live for the Truth, or at least to live for one’s soul. And the true sincerity – To live for the Divine without expecting any benefit from Him in return. 20 January 1964 * * * The only thing worth living for is to serve the Divine. January 1966 * * * The true aim of life is to find the Divine’s Presence deep inside oneself and to surrender to It so that It takes the lead of the life, all the feelings and all the actions of the body. This gives a true and luminous aim to existence. 28 March 1970 * * * Life has a purpose. This purpose is to find and to serve the Divine. The Divine is not far, He is in ourselves, deep inside and above the feelings and the thoughts. With the Divine is peace and certitude and even the solution of all difficulties. Hand over your problems to the Divine and He will pull you out of all difficulties. 3 July 1970 * * * To be and to become more and more what the Divine wants us to be should be our greatest preoccupation. 25 July 1971 * * * Happiness is not the aim of life. The aim of ordinary life is to carry out one’s duty, the aim of spiritual life is to realise the Divine. * * * In the world, as it is, the goal of life is not to secure personal happiness, but to awaken the individual progressively towards the truth-consciousness. * * * It is not in order to be happy that we are upon earth, for in the present conditions of terrestrial life happiness is an impossibility. We are upon earth to find and realise the Divine, for the Divine Consciousness alone can give true happiness. * * * Man was created to express the Divine. His duty is therefore to become conscious of the Divine and to surrender himself entirely to His Will. All the rest, whatever the appearance, is falsehood and ignorance. 26 December 1972 * * * We seek not our personal salvation but the absolute surrender of our being to the Divine. * * * Concentration on the Divine is the only truly valid thing. To do what the Divine wants us to do is the only thing valid. 6 January 1973 * * * What is lasting, eternal, immortal and infinite, that indeed is worth having, worth conquering, worth possessing. It is divine Light, divine Love, divine Life – it is also Supreme Peace, Perfect Joy and All-Mastery upon earth with the Complete Manifestation as the crowning.” Reference 1: CWM 14, Pages 3-8
