Give one's best, but without conceit.

The Relevance of Man’s Seeking Spirit

There is a natural seeking spirit within man to find the universal principles of life or the purpose of his life. Every human being regards himself as incomplete until he has found that supreme principle by which he can explain his existence in this world and discover the purpose and meaning of his life. While certain human beings ignore this natural urge within them, seekers of truth make a conscious effort to find their purpose of life by trying to find rational answers to the questions such as ‘Who am I?’ What is the purpose of my life? What is the importance of my mind? Why do I have so many desires? Why do I have the concept of tomorrow? Why is there contradiction in our world? Who created me? Does God exist? Who is God? What is the creation plan of God? What is the right approach to the creation plan? Is my life governed by destiny or free will? Where will I go when I transcend from this world? How do I achieve salvation? etc. The questions may be many – but the answer is only one – a reason-based understanding of the plan that God has created man within.

I believe that the journey of a seeker begins with the urge to search for the truth. When a seeker discovers the truth and learns the creation plan of the Creator, his life enters a new phase, i.e. that of the building of the human personality according to spiritual principles laid down by his Creator. Let us embark on a journey in search of truth to understand the Creation Plan of God.

In the search for truth, before we can try to find the creation plan of God, we have to ask ourselves, “Does God exist?” Throughout history people have been trying to find an answer to this question. Let us try to find a rational answer to this question.
