What is wholistic purpose of life ?

Life and life-situation are not the same beyond the level of energy. Both are two aspects of the “self” or consciousness; i.e., like two sides of same coin. While life is the inner-essence of self to be experienced, life-situation is the outer ambience of self to be expressed or perceived by senses. While becoming worker, getting promoted, getting married, becoming father, having wealth and power defines your life-situations; being courageous, ethical, love, peaceful, joyful and free define your life. In other word life-situation reflects your outer purpose and outer-wellbeing; peace and joy reflects your inner-purpose and inner-wellbeing. Unless both purposes are achieved; life loses its harmony with life-situation and life becomes full of emptiness, regret and remorse. However, whenever there is harmony; it allows to live life of possession without possessiveness; pain without suffering, feeling without thinking, passion without obsession, quest without desire, being angry without having anger, facing criticism without inferiority complex, inspiring without superiority complex, staying in present and visiting past or future as a guest, putting effort with effortlessness; working without being tired and so on.

In simple, it allows involvement in life-situation without being entangled with it and hence freedom with full of actions, accountability and responsibility. Such can be achieved in our professional life and in day-to-day work as well.

Most people in this planet are trapped with "purpose of their life-situation" and ignoring completely "purpose of their life". And unfortunately, due to advancement of technology like artificial-intelligence (AI), this trend will definitely get amplified progressively in 21st century. Hence, each one of us are vulnerable to such intrinsic afflictions trap, unless we give some genuine attention to purpose of our life along with that of life-situation.

In summary, the wholistic purpose of our life is the combined purpose of life & life-situation.
