Swajan : Is it possible to appreciate the characteristics of being aware of our purpose in life?
Pujya Shree Mota : It is unavoidable and very essential for making the progress, to be aware of the purpose in life. You will see that this awareness of the purpose is discussed in many of my writings. Whenever there is awareness during all the works of a person, know that this person is on the path of sadhana. There are certain characteristics of the person when there is presence of the awareness of the purpose of life. When there is awareness of the purpose, there is presence of dynamic equanimity that is both action oriented and progressive and can be used in any works. The force of the numerous puzzles and pre conceived ideas in the intellect gets to be much less as presence of subtleness in intellect directs it straight to the purpose of life with concentration and single pointedness. When there is presence of the awareness of the purpose, the force of the attachments and jealousy gets to be minimal. We do not get pushed around by the urges of our understanding, beliefs, habits and customs. When there is presence of the awareness of the purpose, there is resoluteness and certainty of the goal of life.
