Once a saint was explaining man what is the goal of human life. The man though has all wealth he does not have happiness in his life. The thought of the saint starts as such “A human being has higher intelligence, the power of discrimination and he can inquire about the cause of suffering and the destination of life. But the Real Problem is: – Common to all: No one wants it: No one can avoid it:-they are Birth, old age, disease and death. Miseries are caused by One’s own body & mind, natural disturbances, problems from other living entities. Material advancement is not the solution to the real problems of life. Modern technological advancement gives only temporary relief and no permanent solution. Modern solutions only give rise to other problems.

Saint says “I want to list you the paradoxes of life .Now a days we have taller buildings but shorter tempers ,wider freeways but narrower viewpoints, bigger houses but smaller families, more conveniences but less time, we have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge but less judgment, more experts but less solutions Moreover we have:-More medicine   but less wellness, multiplied our possessions but reduced our values, conquered outer space not daring to conquer the inner space, cleaned up the air but polluted the soul. Man has advanced to the level to split the atom but not our prejudice. Now a day we have higher incomes but lower morals. We have become long on quantity but short on quality. We talk too much but love too seldom, and hate too often. We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life, we’ve added years to life, not life to years.

All the technological advancement has let us all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor. We spend more, but have less, we buy more but enjoy it less. These are the times of tall men with Short character, steep profits with shallow relationships. We do always aim for world peace but lag to concentrate in domestic warfare. We have more leisure but less fun. We enjoy more kinds of food with less nutrition. A family now a days has two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses with broken home. It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom. Humans are searching for the right thing in the wrong place.

The goal of human life is to inquire about a permanent solution to the real problem, Permanent relief from all miseries. An eternal life of BLISS, PEACE and HAPPINESS. Therefore we have to inquire about the root cause of all causes and the source of everything. Man is keen to know the conclusion of all these inquiry; the only conclusion could be the supreme soul of god ahead. The saint concludes by saying that one should inquire into the supreme. Serve the lord and enter the spiritual world with no miseries, with only peace and happiness surrounded.
