What is the purpose of life? Why are we here?
The purpose of life is hidden in the silent source of life itself.
It exists in the inner recesses of our being – a secret that can be revealed
by seeking it in the quiet of our soul.
“Know Thyself” was the message uttered by the Delphic oracle.
It is the quintessence of the quest
every human being is destined to embark upon.
How?
There is a particular path unique for every individual. The way is not the same for everyone.
One may find the hidden gem of Self-knowledge in the voice of Nature, in the sky, in the sacred river’s song, in the voice of the wind, in the swirling dance of the trees spiraling heavenward, in the touch of a beloved, in the silent murmur of a mantra.
Every experience that plucks the tender harp strings of the heart can draw us closer to the fountainhead of pure Being, wherein lies the essence of all Self-knowledge.
