The Purpose of Life


The Purpose of Life

Jeremy Frampton


Why look for reason

there is no cause

Why try to find a purpose

there may be none at all

Take whatever there is

and make the most

And if there is nothing

make your own

And while you are loving to live

a reason will become

and a purpose will appear

making all the more reason to go on

  2. Dearest Sneha,

    I am touched by your email. I have wonderful collection of various articles and hence thought of sharing thru my blog.

    "The purpose of Life" is my favorite poem too. It is indeed very simple and touched my heart many years ago.

    Yes, the white bird picture was clicked by me at lake Konstanz, switzerland. From the posture of bird I found the meaning of cosmic rhythm, equilibrum and mindfulness. I love this picture too.

    I will surly keep you updated.

    Lots of Luv

  3. The poem says it all.Act to your true calling and therein lies the meaning and purpose of life.Live life of your destiny as if there is no tomorrow.No regrets: No comebacks.Just live it.Joy is where reason ends. Brahmn is where reason comes to a stop.Nothing is left after camphor is burnt out:not even trace of ash.(sri Ramakrishna)
