Purpose of Life

Many times in life we come across that we are striving for something but we could not get what you desired for. And we reached to end of conclusion that purpose of life become flimsy. 

Recently, I heard a story from veteran toastmaster, guiding source of thousands of people and chrismatic person, Mr Rajdeep Manwani. He is person who lost his visibilty in early childhood but he kept his  vision & desire in heart, each heartbeat remind his desire to live.

He narrated a story that a person who  aimed for becoming pilot since his childhood. He worked hard to prepare for the exam. In first three consecutive attempts he failed. In 60s, cut off age for qualifying exam was 27 years. For him, he had another one more year to attempt. He put in his a great effort and finally passed the exam. For final selection to happen there was only 7 seats out of 77 qualified. When he was attending the final test at Indian military academy in Dehradun, he finally cleared the test and stood at 7th position. He was thrilled and happy. Then commander called him and told him that sorry gentleman we have only 6 seats as one person who is supposed be retired, he is continuing with us and seats are only 6. 

He pleaded to him but nothing can be done. He was shattered and he came Rishikesh and decided himself to do suicide. The moment he wanted to jump to river, he could see that there commotion and thought people would save me so he postponed his decision. He could see an ashram where pravachan from Swami Shivanand was going on. Disciples could ask questions. He reached there and found to be restless and asked question to Swamiji. He said that since his childhood he always dreamt of becoming pilot and he cleared through but atlast he could not got the seat even put in a lot of efforts. What is pupose of life? Swamiji waited for 2 min and replied that lead your life you will come to come to know the purpose of life.

This word struck him to lead the life. In fast forward his life after about 30 years, when he was at Raj path bhawan getting shower of flowers from pilot the he realised his purpose of his life. He said to himself that if he i would have became pilot then i could not have got the respect that he was getting as President of India for Abdul Kalam. 

So many times in life, we dreamt of something but even we don't get it, need not to be discouraged in life. May be there is something bigger is stored for.

Let's lead your life something without losing hope may be there is big is going to happen.
