00:00Why do we need to talk of purpose of life?
00:02Because we do not feel alright as we are, and where we are.
00:08Because we do not feel alright where we are, therefore we need to be somewhere else.
00:12So it all starts from you.
00:14What is it that would fulfill you?
00:15Because you are the one who is restless.
00:17Over the millennia, countless people have tried power,
00:22and countless have tried money, and knowledge, and prestige, and adventure,
00:28and you name it, sex.
00:30The child is born crying.
00:31The eyes are continuously wandering in search of something.
00:34The ear wants to hear some special kind of news.
00:37The mind is continuously restless.
00:39And then there were those who realized that we want an end to all wants.
00:46We desire the end of desires, and that is called liberation.
00:49And that is moksha.
00:51Coming to the end of desire itself, that's what desire wants.
