Living with Meaning, Part 2
Question: It is difficult to accept that there is only one meaning of life that is common to everyone. Doesn’t each person search for their own meaning?
Answer: It turns out that every day every person is searching for a new meaning, that is, something to derive pleasure from today. But the true meaning of life cannot be temporary: If the meaning has dried up, then there is no meaning. My life will end someday, and even if I cared about others, their lives are not eternal either.
The meaning of life can only be eternal. And if that does not exist and it is limited by the time span of our lives, then we are left with either confusing ourselves by finding an imaginary meaning in some hobbies or not searching for meaning at all, but simply living in the present moment.
Question: When does a person come to the necessity to find the eternal meaning of life?
Answer: It depends on the inner development and the measure of suffering. A person must suffer from the fact that his life passes without meaning. His life can be very prosperous, simply royal, where he lacks nothing but one thing: “But what am I living for?” He may have everything in this world, but it does not fulfill him. It depends on the inner needs of a person.
If we do not fill ourselves with the eternal, true meaning of life, then this is life on the bodily level until this body dies. But if we want to rise to the true meaning, we must always be connected with the goal that answers this question. We need to connect with the upper force of nature that governs the entire universe. Having reached it, we will reveal the meaning of life.
From the connection with an upper force, a person begins to understand that it created everything for a special purpose. And if a person connected with a goal touches some root in this world, then he knows how to use it correctly to give meaning to his actions. He will be able to use every detail of this world correctly in order to connect with the higher meaning through it.
In this way, he sanctifies this entire world and returns it to the upper root from which this world once expanded. It turns out that he learns to use this world correctly. Although these actions are not noticeable from the outside because all depends on the intention of the person.
