The meaning of human life


The question of the meaning of one’s life gets inevitably raised before any man who matures in his development, moving up from the instinctive-reflexive stage to the really human one, at which intellect begins to dominate in choosing one’s way of living and conduct.

Many philosophers have been racking their brains over this question. But the majority of them were not able to comprehend the true God’s philosophy, while perverted conceptions created by numerous sects could not satisfy them. As a result the question about the meaning of human life was “declared” by many philosophers to be a “pseudo-question”, i.e. the one that cannot be answered by its own nature. This atheistic concept assumed, in fact, that man is not dramatically different from animals and the objective meaning of his existence on Earth is just... reproduction, ensuring the survival of the human race and creation of material values for the descendants. Therefore no spiritual efforts are necessary, and ethics in relationships with other leaving beings can be neglected...

“What’s our life? — A game... Good, evil — only dreams... Work, honesty — just tales for the females...” And a suicide “when the time comes” is the only right move for those worthy of respect...

But the Truth is that there is the meaning of human life.

It consists in development of consciousness, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
Qualitative development consists in intellectual and ethical perfection, as well as in refining of consciousness. Quantitative aspect implies a direct increase of the amount of the refined energy of consciousness.

The latter reflects, among other things, the level of so called “personal power” — the psycho energetic might of the particular individual mass of consciousness that depends on the quantity of the energy of consciousness, or in other words on the size of a given soul.

According to this quantitative criterion souls are classified by God into “minor” and “major” ones But regardless of this classification each of them can possess both positive and negative properties. God calls the “minor” souls that have developed negative properties demoniac ones; if in addition to this they have accumulated significant amount of “personal power” they are considered diabolic, or devils. They could be encountered either in embodied or non-embodied form. Hell is their abode while they are in the non-embodied state; when they do get embodied — this takes place in “hellish” conditions, where they will be experiencing the results of their bad karma (the fate they created for themselves). In this way God suggests that they experience what the pain, which they were causing to other living beings, is like. He does this in order to help them to become better, to make it urgent for them to think about their ways, about the meaning of human life, about God and the Path to Him...

But those people who develop in the right direction at increasing speed rush into embraces of their beloved God; their lives become filled more and more with Divine happiness and exultation of Divine Love.

So, what does God want us to become, specifically?

I think, the minor soul, you talk about is similar to the Rajsik nature of the soul, wherein a person consider his interest superior to the ineterest of humanity.
