There's a very famous book called the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, and it's supposed to be the cream of all the teachings of these ancient literatures. It starts with a king who's famous, and he gets cursed to die in seven days. As soon as he found out he had seven days to live, he left his kingdom. He went to a sacred place and sat down and he got a pad of paper and a pen—just kidding! But he sat and reflected very deeply: "What's the most important thing to do in the last seven days of my life?" Because he asked that question, he met his teacher. There was no internet, there was no way of connecting physically, but spiritually, they lined up, and the teacher came. The whole book is questions and answers between the king and the teacher. His first question was, "What is the duty of a person who's about to die?" And the teacher, Śukadeva, gave an immediate answer: "It's to be in perfect consciousness when you leave this body; to be able to remember the Personality of God when you leave this present body." The rest of the book is instructions about how we can perfect our consciousness. If I don't ask the question, then the teacher, the teachings, they don't come into my life. We are in the same situation as the king. How many days do we have in this world? Well, some people say seven, because Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, they are the same thing over and over again. But if we think like the king, "What's my ultimate duty in the last seven days?", then the rest of our life becomes more rich. Have you ever taken someone that you love for granted? Did you ever become annoyed with them for the way they chew their cereal? When we have an awareness of our ultimate purpose and that we're only here just for seven days maximum, the way we interact with people is very different. This is the kind of vision that is taught in the ancient wisdom literature: to see how everybody's passing through this life very quickly. And a very important point: human life is purposeful, and we can discover the purpose if we ask about it. So the first question is, "What's my purpose?" ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #purposedrivenlife #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose
