Dear Friends I see most spend their lives in getting education ,earning money ,making family than caring their family and what ever they have earned and they die eventually (as their life has come to an end ) Why GOD has sent us on earth in human form(life) Did GOD send us to earth to get education and than to earn money,create family and eventuialluy die ? Anyone who want to share real purpose of life GOD has given us ?????? Hare Krishna Ganesh

Because of sin we are separated from God. So we spend our lives struggling, spending time all the things on earth, like education, work, building your family and die. If the first couple (adam and eve) did not sin, we are living in paradise a place of God that has no tears, hard work, etc. Reference the Holy Bible which started, "In the beginning..."

It is very easy to have connection with God, just call Him Lord Jesus when you pray. When you call God in His name, Lord Jesus, He will save you.

The ultimate aim of life is knowledge and ultimate goal is to reunite with the supreme soul. We have to achieve these through different stages of life. Getting education, earning money, looking after family etc are the jobs we have to perform in our journey through different stages of life. More sincerely, honestly and unselfishly we perform these jobs, more likely we reach our goal.

Hi Ganesh, we all have to work but I am sure God never meant for us to do all that then die. God wants us to enjoy life and serve him to. Without God what kind of life do people really have? I work from home and I get to enjoy my family. Life is never easy God never said it would be easy but with him in our life its makes it better.

This is the view I am beginning to develop. Before we are born on this Earth we reside with God in Paradise. However, due to being in God's presence, we can not learn and grow as people, we are compelled by the power of God to always do what is good and just. We can not make mistakes to learn from. God, decided that we should be able to choose for ourselves, and that being in His presence makes that impossible for us, so He made the earth as a place for us to go to learn and grow as a person, and as a people. We enter through "the veil of forgetfulness" into our current life to learn and grow in the best way we can, and to make choices for ourselves, with out knowledge of the infinite power of God. This way we can choose for ourselves, what we wanted, instead of being "forced" into obedience by the commanding presence of the Lord. It needs a little work, but that is what I am beginning to believe. Cheers.

The whole point of human life on this earth was to be fruitful and multiply....I think God has put everyone on this Earth for a purpose....I have been able to continue my life after being with a abusive husband ...... I do not know why and for what reason but God has seemed fit to spare my life many times in the 14 years I was with my EX..... I know it is because I have a purpose but I just take one day at a time to try to fulfill Gods purpose to the best of my ability....

I personally believe that we are all created with individual purposes. With each purpose comes experiences that we should gain knowledge and wisdom. We all have the free will to either choose to follow our paths or to stray. Even when we stray there is opportunity to learn from our mistakes. I believe everyone has there own gifts and talents they we should nurture. I don't believe that earning a living should be what drive you in life but you do have to understand that it is key to survival. That's why I think it is important to make a living doing what you love and not seeking a career path that you only appreciate because of the earning potential. Being happy is important to having a healthy mind state and makes you a better person who will be able to spread positive energy more effectively. I believe that we will be judged according to the to positive energy that we express in our day to day lives. The willingness to give yourself for the benefit of others is the lesson that I believe Jesus Christ came to teach. Everyone has a the opportunity to learn, to share and to love others. As they say, love makes the world go around. I don't believe that everyone is meant to procreate because having children is the ultimate commitment to loving someone unconditionally as God loves us and therefore we were made in his image in order to express that love. The one thing that I try to always remember is that every person that you come in contact with they are a part of the purpose for your life and how you interact and treat them is the test that will determine how you will grow and mature in spirit.

Dear Vantage I totally agree with you and I do appreciate the wonderful knowledge you shared to all making us to understand better and better GOD has given us life to spread peace and love and assinged small wit and power to us to grow as successful human being yes I agree that earning is the key to survival probably GOD wanted us to be busy and serious in task assigned to us so he created money and earning, I think yes .... thanks for ur nice reply and helping me understanding meaning of life in more broader perspective All the best!!!

I don't agree with this opinion,though we spend our lives in getting education,earning money,making family ,however,if you think it is happy to do this,it is good,if you feel fretful,you don't enjoy the life. According to the Bible, God created man in his image.So I think he hoped that the continuation of human beings to reproduce,then we need education,need money to eat to wear...

some people get tired of life basically because they forget to continually develop themselves. having a family sometimes gets to them and they forget that this shouldn't stop them from pursuing their careers, studies or basically reaching out to blood relatives, etc. i believe that this continuous development of self is what is keeping old people (the productive ones) really leave their mark on the next generation. and most of the time, even though it is not how others see it, the trademark they leave behind is unimaginably valuable.

Hi,i think God give us life, and ourself make it wonderful.Education, earn money, create family and die...it is a result, we should fill the process,nobody force us to accept education, to earn money, to create family, but we do so, because we want a good life before the end is coming.I know sometimes the life so tired, we need rest, we need time to get along with family,with our lovers...enjoy the happiness, that will make our life more meaningful. So die is the result, all of us will meet it, what we should do is make our life better.
