What is the purpose of life? How to get a perfect life?

Let me cut the long story short.
Out of the 100 crop species that provide us with 90% of our food, 70% are pollinated by bees. It's that simple.
Bees are the primary initiators of reproduction among plants, as they transfer pollen from the male stamens to the female pistils.

While bees are not the only pollinators we have (bats, birds, butterflies, and some flies can do this work, too), they're by far the best creatures for the job. In part, this is because they need pollen to feed their larvae, so they're biologically driven to gather the stuff. Other pollinators visit flowers only to suck nectar, and any pollen that sticks to them in the process is a happy accident.

"Additionally, most [bee] species are fuzzy, and those hairs attract pollen grains, making the bees even more likely to pollinate,"

Within just three months of our last bee dying off, producers would be facing record low harvest yields. In cities, grocers would be scrambling to explain to consumers why almond butter costs had tripled. Within six months, many farmers—especially small-scale operations—would likely face tough choices about converting their fields to wheat. By the end of the first year, "we'd have a very bland and boring diet.

Most importantly, a chain of reaction would have been set up which is irreversible. Not to forget we are already living in a world so soiled and toxic that we'd have much bigger problems.

Now coming to your point, even if the entire humans species is extinct right now, the earth will still go on minus all the pollution etc.
In fact the planet will become better right in a larger context.

So hope you got your answer.
The question is not about having purpose.
Why do we humans thing we are above the system, we are also part of a huge system, there is no special purpose.

We can't run faster than dog, fly like a crow, fight like a lion, strong as an ant.
Yes, we do have some benefits but compared to these creatures there are lot of drawbacks we have right. So why do you want purpose in the first place, when we are not even the best species.

We are just better than some species.

In fact, after the world goes extinct, cockroaches will still roam the earth and they have been here since the dinosaurs.

It’s just that we have complicated, we have to earn money to eat food.
No other creature on the planet does this. Get it.
Yes, civilization has a come far way and things can’t be reversed. You have to go with flow.

But to answer your question, there is no specific purpose for humans.
You are free to do whatever you want.
Thing is whatever we do, we don’t realize that we are part of the system and we need keep this in mind before doing anything.

That’s why there is always seeking in almost every human being. What is my purpose? Because we are doing the wrong things.
We are not realizing that we are a cog in the wheel, we are not the wheel. Yes, to an extent we can understand the big picture but that is just part of the complete picture.

It’s like no matter how much you learn about life, earth, galaxy, spirituality, etc, it will still be drop in the ocean, like that.
As far as perfect life is concerned, again there is no such thing.

Just a example: Imagine you did all the things and became successful but just when you are about to enjoy the rewards of your success, you die. Not being negative.

All i am telling there is no purpose of life. You are free to what you want. But keep in mind the big picture that you are part of a bigger system. So do i need to say what not to do…now..if we use your common sense, we will know what to do?

Now coming to perfect life, as i said you have every right to get a perfect life but there is no guarantee you will enjoy it. So again, perfect life is a mindset.
There are people with all troubles and still happy and there are people who have everything and very miserable. Perfect life is a mindset. Dot.

What can entrepreneurs learn from professional sports persons?

Take the example of a cricket match or a badminton match or any sports for that matter. I am sure most of us who follow the sport have the ability to predict the game 7 out of 10 times correctly. However, when the same comes to our business or real life, most of the times, we somehow are dumbstruck, think a lot more, not sure etc.

So the next time you are in a business situation or for that matter any situation, see it as a cricket match or a badminton match and think what you would do to win that game. I am sure you would win 7 out of 10 situations. Dont worry about losing that one game a.k.a situation.

What is the difference between ordinary work and Karma yoga and what is the test for same?

Difficult times one must say..though you want to do karma, in this kaliyuga or modern age you will not be able to do that as well. For example, you can't fight against every evil in your society or do always what is right. Thereby you are not doing a karma (in this case not doing anything) for which you will face the consequences (Not trying to scare you, but you chose karma yoga, so you will face its consequences).

In cases, where you have the power to set something right (again what is right varies from person to person) and if you do something with the right intention, that is enough. Offcourse, sometimes inspite of doing something right with the right intention you will have to face the music. Eg: You foiled a murder but then your life might be in danger, you might be threatened or even avenged. So there you have it "karma yoga is doing -(can be not doing also- eg: studies, overdoing -earning money/fame or half heartedly - eg: work at office).

Also karma yoga is not expecting anything in return.

So, atleast do everything with the right intention and sooner or later, if not this birth, the next birth you will surely, eventually we will all reach there. Good will always prevail over bad. This is the only truth.

P.S: Some of you might not agree with this answer and others will have a lot of questions. The answer has to do a lot with realization and the experiences one gets. But end of the day there is nothing right or wrong, we will all eventually reach there. So don't worry. Only thing is it varies from person to person. But especially for those who are already conscious of karma, spirituality, soul and still stuck in the MAYA, like have anger, greed, procastination, lust (THEY KNOW THE TRUTH BUT STILL COME BACK TO THEIR WORLDLY WAYS) it will be a little tough, coz we know what we are doing is not upto the mark to reach the DESTINY but still in worldly ways.

But, as i said don't worry, you reached this far, you will cross the hurdle and be there....but ya don't stop the search and be SINCERE.

Does spirituality have any sense in a country like India?

God has given us a great gift in the form of this human body. The only purpose of this human birth, which is very difficult to get, is to realize God and hence terminate this incessant cycle of birth and death.

So, if you see any activity performed with the only aim of realizing the ultimate will not affect the world. In fact, the problem of the entire human world is because of running behind other things.

For example: Tell me one thing the earth cannot run without - stock markets, nano technology, hospitals, schools, rocket science, mobile phones, governments, you see yes, there is not a single thing created by man is required on this nature. You could very well leave your job, family, business, money and still survive with what nature has provided. In fact, agriculture is also against the nature, your converting forest lands, using natural resources. Why did you have to be greedy, nature provides plenty to eat. we had agriculture to feed more people.

No animal or plants, nothing in the world goes against nature. Lion is still doing what it was doing since existence, ants are doing what they do since existence, it is only humans in the hope of good future have started accumulating everything thereby disturbing nature and then also do forest conversation, fight for animal rights, save environment.

We were never supposed to dominate nature or even manipulate nature, we forget that we are also part of nature. So what if we are humans and are slightly smart then other creatures by thinking.

I mean we thinking creatures, humans from last 5000 years of thinking with some of the best brains, what have we done to this earth, today its a fight out there..what have we brought this earth to.

Realize everything is maya, the humans and for that every creature is beyond just this body, look deep who are you?

Just look up the sky, see the stars, moon, sun, even the small plants that stand in the heat or in the cold, they are stronger than us. Tell me most humans survive standing in ice cold water survive the next day, most fishes will survive. Trees will survive, plants will survive, So what are we humans thinking we are superior of, if we simply can't stand in rain or sun or ice cold water. Just see the plant in your garden standing in the rain from the time it was sown, most of us will die even if we stand for few hours.

Yes, if there is one thing that is permanent then ...it is your spirit, your not just a name, not just a employee or husband or a wife or a brother or a sister..come out of it, the human spirit is beyond this..that is why inspite of everything at their disposal still humans find no satisfaction..because we are all running behind something..the running behind will continue until we find the true self..spirituality is relevant everywhere...keep spirituality as the primary and LIVE your life according to it..i am not telling be ascetic..you will find the difference...once you reach this state, you will know why spirituality is not only relevant but it is the answer to all the problems.

In short, nothing is of use in this world. Not even the greatest of inventions, not even the greatest of theories, we are just complicating. This cycle will continue until we realize the ultimate truth.spirituality...

I saw this pic on quora on some other question..understand this is what a human is …not just a physical body with intelligence and relations and attitude, jobs, salary packages, gizmos, etc…he is beyond that..this is WHO WE ALL ARE?

I mean what is the size of the earth on this universe, who are we in this entire universe, just a speck….the universe is beyond comphrension. so do you think all this just for earning money, name and fame. Not even the moon is bothered about the earth…I mean just think about it..The sun can just annihilate the entire earth in a fraction of a second, and here we fighting for promotions, rights and what not..independence..

So now that you know the entire world including yourself is illusion and the spiritual self is the ultimate truth, you will not create problems in the first place, and even if problems are there, you will not worry in the second place.

Wake up, friends, from this mire of illusory Samsara now. Passion has wrought great havoc in you as you are drowned in Avidya. How many millions of fathers, mothers, wives and sons you have had in previous births! This body is full of impurities. What a shame it is to embrace this filthy body! It is mere foolishness only. Give up Moha for this body.

Remember that you are not this perishable body of flesh and bones. You are the immortal, all pervading,

Keep an eye on yourself, tell yourself all this is just a illusion, its a big dream, you just be a witness to everything around you..very soon, you will realize the truth..and that nothing matters..not poverty..not corruption..not malnutrition.

Why does it feel impossible to accept myself or to be satisfied?

See, you have to understand one thing. First of all this answer might satisfy you or not.

I don’t know what kind of answer you are seeking for example there are many ways to seek satisfaction.

One could be do good, be good and in turn feel satisfied by feeling good.

Other is which majority of us follow - Be good if the other person is good and be bad if the other person is bad, in turn feel satisfied that you did the right thing but again sometimes forgiving is a right thing but will you forgive if someone hurt you consciously and just stamped you so that they could win.

Then there are people who will do anything to feel satisfised by getting what they want - they might amass wealth, cheat, lie, not share information, secretly do their stuff, coax people into their schemes to achieve their satisfaction.

So basically, the satisfaction is just the surface. You have to go deeper, satisfaction will never be there.

The point is the nature of human life, mind, spirit, consciousness, soul, intelligence is always seeking. Seeking higher things. Even after being the most enlightened being, rich person, good person, you can fail right.

Then what you do???

Where dissatisfaction comes is we do things out of pressure, out of success, yes even out of greed for success or just to feel better. Your dissatisfaction will start.

Plus being satisfied is not a posistion you reach and you always be satisfied. You have to always be alert and on your toes, reminding yourself that satisfaction is just an illusion.

Keep moving most importantly stand up again when you fall down after a finding dissatisfaction. Dissatisfaction will hit anytime, just before the second you die as well. So be prepared. Hope you got the big picture.

SATISFACTION - CONTENTMENT, IS A STATE OF MIND YOU HAVE TO BE ALWAYS BE. EVEN AFTER YOU FALL DOWN EVERY TIME OUT OF BEING SATISFIED.
