Rumi says:
“You can accomplish a hundred other things but if you do not accomplish the one thing for which you have been sent, it will be as if you have done nothing.”
Rumi is implying that we have a life purpose and if we do not accomplish this purpose, the other hundred things we do does not amount to much.
However, how do you find your purpose? Meditation is one of the very few ways to find your purpose.
There is no life manual available, teachers and parents seldom talk about it and the religious organizations only skirt around the issue.
So most people grow up doing a hundred things instead of that one thing that means everything.
How about you?
