Why are we on Earth?

Why are we here? Why are there humans on earth seeing the short time given to all men? Who sets the standard for how we live on earth? If we say the first man failed, who then do we look to? What really matter in life, what should consume us? Is it career: to work and earn a living, and what is the purpose, it is just to fill fil our stomach; gain wealth; be famous and die – what else; is it to raise a family: of what use is that; is it to have friends and help people reach their goals then die? Again of what use is that if man will live a few years and die, and all men will eventually die. Then why the trouble of coming to earth in the first place, pf what significance is it? what is it that connects it (these concerns) all? What is the centre of all human existence? Seeing there are two things common to all men birth and death. If life is just made for the sole aim of living, for the consumption of man alone then the brevity of it is a poor design. If all of life was design for career, family, friends, fame, wealth, humanitarian services, prominence, pleasure and the likes; if it be for making a name: man comes and go, how many records or history can we remember as years roll into infinity; if it be for family, how long can we keep track of family tree as time grows into eternity? How much history can we keep, how much wealth can we heap, how much of the poor can we help, how many men can we remember, how pedigree can we call family if earth should have no end and it grows big as eternity? Then by common thought measuring it brevity it design lacks intelligence.

But if we shall say there is one infinite mind. One that sees every depth, height and dark. One that understands the chaos and make meaning of it. One that has no time bound, there is no end-to-end of time for him. One that stands at the centre of creation and all things including energy resolute around him, then the design of earth and man and the purpose of makes sense. The purpose here is not the path of each man but of man as a whole. That purpose is everything. It is the ingredient that runs saliently and silently through the earth whether accepted or not. It is this purpose, irrespective of the unique individual that makes all men, man. It is that when all of man's faulty path is done away suffices. It is not fame, money, wealth, family, friends, humanitarian services, education, beauty, power, history and all that? All these will pass with time. Not all men possess power, not all possess wealth, not all get education. Some live two days on earth, some more, some less. It is that which all men can give and requires nothing except a heart breath. We can live with it on earth and take it in death because the one to which we give is not cut off by death or time. This to which much has been spoken, which is the singular sensible purpose of humanity is worship.

Worship is not a call to sing, dance or shout. Though these may be involved. Neither is it a form. It is not a gathering neither is it an emotion. First worship is a relationship. Then it is admiration towards the Holy. Our whole can be a worship before him, but not until there is first a relationship. Worship involves love, devotion, commitment, sacrifice, humility, and total surrender. It begins in time and continues in eternity. It is the one word in which human existence makes sense. In other word it is the only purposeful existence of man on earth.
