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
