The whole purpose of life is

maharishi says....."The whole purpose of life is to gain enlightenment.
Nothing else is significant compared to that completely natural, exalted state of consciousness.
So always strive for that.
Set your life around that goal.
Don't get caught up in small things, and then it will be yours....'' Well said 

Rishi Vasanth .................yo vai bhuma tat sukham, na alpe sukham asti...............
The Infinite alone is Bliss which is absent in finite objects.
declare the Upanishads. ................................................................And, this is one of the most favourite mantras of Gurudev Sivananda. Bhuma is perfection. .........................................................What is bhuma?
yatra na anyat pasyati, na anyat srunoti............................
Where one sees nothing else, hears nothing else, etc.
In other words, where one sees everything as the Self, and the Self as this all. Such a state can be attained only by one who sees and serves the Lord in all,
