The Ultimate Goal of Life Men- Moksha Enlightenment Nirvana

What is the Ultimate Goal of Life? Why this misery, why this strife? We want happiness, but don't achieve our Goal Because we don't realize we are the Soul The world believes that we were apes Jumping on trees and eating grapes And then from apes, we became MEN A magic show from one to ten! In ignorance, we live and we die We look at the sky, we pray, we cry But why we are born, we don't find out why Who are we, who is this “I”? We don't go for a search and quest And we don't put our beliefs to test Whatever we are told, we believe the myth We suffer because we don't know the Truth But there were wise men, the Truth who knew They were not many, they were just a few They went on a quest to find the Truth They didn't just accept, went to the bottom of the root Who is the Creator of this wonderful earth? Who causes death, who gave us birth? Yes, our mother and father were part of the plan But this Divine work is not that of man There is a power unknown to us There is no doubt, let us not fuss We don't know who, where and, what is God But there is a Creator who is our Lord There are some who believe 'to heaven we will go’ When we die at the end of the show But where is heaven? Does anybody know? And if the body stays here, then who will go? There are others who believe that God is a man Living in the skies doing what he can Once in a while, he comes to earth To fulfill our prayers, our joy, our mirth And though we know Santa is a lie We believe in the myth and don't ask why We just exist, we live and die Without asking the question of who and why We have a body but that's not 'ME' We are in fact, just energy To find this Truth is our Ultimate Goal That we are, in fact, the Divine Soul Moksha it was called many centuries ago It was Liberation after death, this Truth we know And then there would be no future birth And we would not have to return to earth Those who don't know are born again The law of Karma is for all men The law says what you sow, you reap Good or bad, both we get to keep And then came about the concept ‘Enlightenment’ Realizing the Truth, getting fulfillment It is about not being ignorant And knowing the Truth for our betterment For like blind men, we live in the dark We think there is nothing, except the dogs that bark But because we are blind and cannot see We believe there is nothing, how can this be? From darkness to light we must go What is the Truth, this we must know
