A Child's Quest to find his "Purpose of Life"
reasons. You get to choose whichever sect works for you. Each sect has different ways of practicing religion and different ways to
achieve happiness Student #1,2,3,: Most of my family members have dedicated their
lives to this purpose, why don't I also do the same. I can't go wrong with something they've chosen. Please
sign us up.... we're sold. --- Another 3 out of 4 students decide to sign-up... They were given bands to wear on their heads for the rest of their lives. They were also given goodie bags (made of orange cloth that contained all of the above things). Student #4: --- One who had not signed up at this stall --- Can I ask
a question.......... Why does God need our service? ... Our god is "Sarvagya* (Holst), Veetraagi* (aiderít) and Hitopdeshi* (faluarit)"... going by that he shouldn't be affected by whether we serve him or not.
Stall4 Host2:
Well... that's true... but
Student #4:
He also taught us that neither heaven nor any of the four Gatis* (ufa) have happiness, then why would he reward us with heaven, that doesn't have happiness?
Stall4 Host2:
You have a point there, but remember, we don't guarantee you'll get happiness or heaven by practicing religion. We only guarantee that if you do it whole heartedly, and be his best disciple without expecting anything in return, then you have higher chances of making it to heaven. After all, heaven is a lot better than hell and earth.
* Sarvagya Host - Who knows everything * Hitopdeshi fecludit - One who shows us path to achieve our ultimate goal * Veetraagi altarit - Who is free of all attachment, expectations and judgment
