What is the meaning of life

What is the meaning of life?.... How can one answer this question, because the definition of life is different for everyone and it depends on the perception of individuals about life? Some may define it as life is a meaningless journey, others may tell you that the meaning of life is to search for the divine source of existence.
Actually living your life to its fullest potential in itself is the meaning of life. Life is a divine phenomenon.life is the miracle on this planet. As far as our imagination goes life looks like a mystery. We never know how all these creatures take birth, grow up, and vanish suddenly one day leaving everything they had accumulated through their journey.

Sages have said that life is like a bubble of water, The bubbles originate from water, live for few seconds and again vanish into the water. One of the greatest sage of India Kabirdas has said

"Pani kera budbuda as manas ki jaat,Dekhat hi chup jayga,jyu tara prabhat."

Which means the human race is like a bubble of water, it will disappear suddenly like a morning star. So we can say that life is too short and we should enjoy our life as long as we are on this planet. The life is given to us to enjoy all the gifts of this planet and it is our greatest prayer to enjoy each and every moment because each moment is precious because these moments once gone will never come back again.

Some scholars have defined life as the opportunity to grow our consciousness and to become one with the supreme source of energy from which all life forms have originated. It is same as a drop of water which enters into ocean and itself becomes the ocean. This is the ultimate destiny of every living creature on this planet.It can be understood by the following hymn in Veda.

"Poornaham,poornamidam,poornaat,poornamudachyate,
Poornasya,poornamaadaye,poornamewava sheshyate."

Which means that life is complete and from this completeness, everything is evolving.and if you take something from this completeness, completeness remains the same.

So life is complete in itself and as long as you go on searching for the meaning of life somewhere else, you will go on losing your life. So finally we can conclude that meaning of life is to live your life, enjoy your life, spread love and positivity and one day the life will reveal all its secrets in front of you.
