On a day you were bursting with happiness, did you ask yourself this question. No. Only when life gets a little sedate, you ask. You need a purpose to life only when being alive is not sufficient. Right now, the biggest thing in your life is that you are alive.
The mind is looking for a purpose because people have not experienced life in full. If your experience of life becomes deeper, your question will disappear. Life does not need a purpose; it is a purpose in itself. It need not lead you on to something else. Being exuberantly alive is sufficient in itself. This is the beauty of Life.
If I show you one side of my hand, you cannot see the other side. This is so about everything. Even if you look at a grain of sand, you'll be looking at one part of it only. We see everything in parts, Life too.
We sense Life by our sensory organs. And that is not enough to realize even a grain in full. We get only bits and part. Not every bit in full. Same with Life. No matter how many bits we gather it'll never be full. That's Human Life.
Once you realize that Life does not need a purpose, just to be alive is great.
