Cultivate a sense of purpose and meaning from "summary" of Inner Engineering by Sadhguru
The most fundamental aspect of human life is that we need a sense of purpose and meaning. Without this, life becomes a series of random events, disconnected and meaningless. When we lack purpose, we become lost, drifting through life without direction or fulfillment. We may go through the motions of living, but deep down, we feel an emptiness, a sense of something missing. This feeling of emptiness is at the root of much of the unhappiness and discontent that plagues modern society. To cultivate a sense of purpose and meaning, we must first understand what it is that truly matters to us. We must ask ourselves what we value most in life, what brings us joy and fulfillment, what gives us a sense of meaning and purpose. This is not always an easy task, as many of us have been conditioned by society to value things that do not truly matter to us. We may have been taught to pursue wealth, success, and status, only to find that these things do not bring us the fulfillment we seek. To discover our true purpose, we must look inward, to the core of our being. We must listen to our inner voice, the voice of our intuition and wisdom. This voice knows what is truly important to us, what will bring us lasting happiness and fulfillment. It may be a desire to create, to connect with others, to help those in need, or to explore the mysteries of the universe. Whatever it is, we must listen to this voice and follow its guidance. Once we have discovered our purpose, we must cultivate it, nourish it, and allow it to grow. This may require making changes in our lives, letting go of things that no longer serve us, and making space for what truly matters. It may require taking risks, stepping outside our comfort zone, and facing our fears. But in the end, it will be worth it, as living a life of purpose and meaning is the key to true happiness and fulfillment. When we live with purpose and meaning, we are no longer adrift in a sea of randomness and confusion. We have a guiding light to lead us through life's challenges and uncertainties. We have a sense of direction, a sense of purpose, that gives our lives meaning and significance. We have a reason to get up in the morning, a reason to keep going when times get tough. We have found our true calling, our reason for being, and we are living it to the fullest. And in doing so, we
