so I understand everything you said why do you think we come from God into this
world I mean what's the purpose there must be a purpose otherwise it all seems
quite pointless because if the point is you come from there and then you like
travel travel and you go back and the way to be happy is to get back so why
did you leave to begin with what's the point of it all that's a question that
is you know all pervading everybody asks that 15 days ago I was in Stanford
speaking on science and spirituality the same very question was almost the first
to come up it's natural when you see all this maze around you wonder why are you
here well a very beautiful story that I heard of which kind of appeals to me to
answer this question there was a billionaire this billionaire
had a 15 year old son one day the father was out of the office and the Sun was
scavenging the office when he came across a newspaper which was 15 year old
edition and there was an article there billionaire adopts orphan child that boy
was shocked does this refer to me this my father's name and the age date
matches when his father returned he asked him father is this article correct
the father said yes it is he was down fallen the son said father I am NOT your
child no my son I adopted you why did you do that so the father said son I am
a millionaire I've got everything that money can buy
but I did not have anyone to share this with I have adopted you so that I may be
able to give you everything that I have so similarly our source that Supreme
Lord like I said is an ocean of infinite bliss he's perfect and complete and
himself however out of his creativity he creates his tiny little parts so that he
can share with us everything he has his divine knowledge his divine bliss his
divine love however he wants us to work our way
towards that creation and the Vedic perspective is not of one lifetime it
says it's a journey that did not begin upon birth its continuing from lifetimes
you are slowly over multiple lifetimes attaining that perfection and if at
present the experience of misery is greater than that of bliss you may feel
discouraged and say oh it's so useless but if you could know the whole design
and what you would get at the end of it you say oh so wonderful so amazing one
day I will have that infinite love bliss of God okay
