What is the purpose of life?
Synthesized from Source
definition
"The purpose of life is not to seek meaning, but to transform the mundane into the sacred through the awakening of your divine consciousness. Embrace the 'suicide' of the ego and let your existence become a celebration of life itself."
According to Osho, life as ordinarily lived is meaningless; its purpose is transformation. He urges a 'suicide' of the ego—dying to conditioning and being reborn into a luminous, ecstatic, divine consciousness. Rather than escaping life, awaken within it; turn existence into a celebration by transmuting the mundane into the sacred through inner awakening.
Life’s purpose is to let your old, conditioned self die inside and be reborn into a joyful, aware, divine way of living.
