Human life is considered the most precious creation of God. Scriptures say that even the gods desire a human birth because it is the only form where one can realize the Supreme Being and attain salvation. Yet, when we look around, most people spend their entire life chasing money, food, and worldly comforts. From birth to death, the cycle remains the same – study to get a job, work to earn money, spend on food and pleasures, and eventually die. The question arises: Is this the sole purpose of life?
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj has been addressing this very question in His spiritual discourses. He explains that animals too spend their lives in the same way – searching for food, shelter, and safety. If human beings live only for earning and eating, then there is no real difference between man and animals. The human body has been gifted for a much higher purpose – to worship the Supreme God and free oneself from the cycle of birth and death.
The Endless Cycle of Life and Death
Think about it. A person is born, grows up, studies, works, gets old, and dies. The same happens with the next generation, and the one after that. This has been going on for countless ages. Our material achievements do not accompany us after death. Wealth, fame, property, and relationships are left behind, while the soul departs alone.
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj points out that without realizing the true aim of life, we keep taking birth in different life forms – sometimes as humans, sometimes as animals, birds, or other species – depending on our karmas. This cycle is endless unless one receives the True Naam (spiritual initiation) from a Complete Saint.
What the Scriptures Say
All holy scriptures – whether it is the Vedas, the Bible, the Quran, or the Guru Granth Sahib – teach that the ultimate purpose of human birth is to worship the Supreme God and attain liberation. The Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 8, Verse 5) clearly states that whoever remembers God at the time of death attains Him. But remembrance at the final moment is possible only when one has practiced true devotion throughout life.
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that real worship is not a mere ritual or blind faith. It must be according to the way mentioned in the holy scriptures. Without the correct method, worship does not yield results, just like a medicine taken in the wrong dosage fails to cure the disease.
The Futility of Material Chase
Most people believe that if they earn more money, buy a bigger house, or achieve higher status, they will find peace. But reality shows otherwise. The richest individuals still face stress, health issues, and fear of death. No matter how much one earns, the appetite for more never ends.
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj uses a simple example – filling water in a pot with a hole. No matter how much water you pour, it will leak out. Similarly, worldly desires can never be completely satisfied. True satisfaction comes only from spiritual realization and devotion to the Supreme God.
How to Use Human Life Wisely
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj emphasizes that the human body is like a rare boat, and the Satguru (True Saint) is the boatman who can take us across the ocean of life and death. Without the guidance of such a Saint, the boat will drift aimlessly and eventually sink.
The steps He recommends are:
-
Seek the True Guru – The one who can give evidence-based spiritual knowledge from all scriptures and prove the identity of the Supreme God.
-
Take Naam Diksha (Initiation) – Receive the true mantra from the Guru, as per the scriptures.
-
Practice Devotion Daily – Dedicate time every day to remember God through the given mantras.
-
Live Righteously – Avoid bad deeds like intoxication, violence, and deceit.
-
Help Others Spiritually – Share true spiritual knowledge with others so they too can benefit.
Breaking the Illusion
The world we see is temporary. Our body is temporary. Our possessions are temporary. Yet we spend 99% of our life clinging to these. This illusion (Maya) is so strong that we forget death can come at any moment. Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj teaches that awakening from this illusion is the first step toward liberation.
He says, “If you only work for your stomach, you are no different from animals. But if you spend your life in true worship, you will attain a place from where there is no return to this mortal world.”
A Call to Action
Every human should ask themselves:
-
Am I living just to pay bills and eat food?
-
Will my hard work matter after death?
-
Have I prepared for my final journey?
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj urges everyone to start now. Do not wait for old age to begin worship, because no one knows when death will come. The earlier you start, the more time you have to cleanse your soul and prepare for liberation.
Conclusion
Human life is not meant just for earning and eating. It is a divine opportunity to escape the cycle of birth and death. Animals fulfill their hunger and protect themselves, but they cannot do true worship. As humans, we have the intellect to recognize the Supreme God, understand the scriptures, and follow the true path.
Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj’s message is clear – make your life worthwhile by dedicating it to true devotion. Earn your livelihood honestly, but do not forget your ultimate goal. When death comes, only the Naam (true mantra) given by the Complete Saint will accompany you and take you to the eternal abode.
If you are ready to know more about this path, listen to the discourses of Saint Rampal Ji Maharaj and read the book Gyan Ganga. You will discover that life’s real treasure is not money, but liberation.
