A Child's Quest to find his "Purpose of Life"
Student #4:
How is it possible that becoming his best disciple and beating others to this race, lead us to peace. The path seems to be full of anxiety, because you are now competing to be the best and are always on lookout for being the best among others present or in the past. Is that really achievable?
Student #3:
--- who had earlier signed up at this stall --- I don't know about you, but I won't be able to offer as many prayers in my life time as my Mom, and I know she didn't offer as many as my grandma. Going by this logic, I'm doomed to begin with.
Stall4 Host1:
Student #4:
You can start now, earlier the better. So do you want to sign-up your life to serving God? If God is Veetraagi* (aiderit) and Akarta Swabhavi* (3chaf aura), i.e. he neither has any desires/ expectations, nor the power to reward/punish, then I'm not sure what I will get by dedicating my life to his service. I'm going to pass.
Student #2:
--- who had earlier signed up at this stall --- I don't mind offering prayers and doing the things we do at temple, but there's something missing here, I can't see how this is going to eliminate all anxieties and uncertainties about future. I'm thinking I'll go to the booth where I can "Switch Purpose of life".
Student #3:
You are right... let's go
* Gati fa- 4 Places where impure souls are found i.e. Animal, Human, Heaven, Hell * Veetraagi atcerft - Who is free of all attachment, expectations and judgment * Akarta Swabhavi 3chat Faurat - Without the power to bring changes in anyone else
