Book Description
About the Book

We identify ourselves and are attached to material possessions and physical comforts. Some of us take materialism to be more important than spiritual or ethical values. We have accepted this temporary condition to be final and as a consequence live purposeless and meaningless lives. A poet has aptly said that we can pass our night laughing and joking, but do not know about the morning. Life is transient, and nobody is immortal. We don't have to push death to the farthest extremes of our consciousness. It can be a good reminder to bring back to our consciousness what is really important in life to us.

This book will help you to find your mission in life, give meaning to your existence, and guide you to realise your true self. I request you to take advantage of, Search for Meaning and Purpose: In Life and with Death.

Foreward

In this his third book, Sohan Singh turns his penetrative gaze on that great inevitability, death. As the saying goes, there are only two certainties in life, the other one being taxes. Indeed, this is Sohan's theme throughout. He is at pains to emphasis that since death is unavoidable we should all take time to consider how we are going to cope with it.

As death will summon us one day, the reader is encouraged to have a sense of meaning and purpose in life. People who lead meaningful lives feel good when they think of what they have done in the past and hope to do in the future. They have a sense of direction. The awareness or recognition that no material possession will accompany us to the next world helps us to be more mindful of our deeds or karma. One who is mindful of these factors will only do those deeds or karma which are helpful to humankind.

Introduction

Some of the most asked and discussed questions in serious discourses in every culture, and country are: Is there a meaning in life? Does the universe have a purpose? What really exists and what does 'existence' mean? Does death have a purpose, or is it just the cessation of life? Do human beings have free will to change, to think and act differently or do we have conditioned minds, which is the result of our past history as well as the cultural influences we inherited? Is there a God? If there is God why does He/She or It allow destruction and catastrophes?

This book is based on the firm belief that we have a purpose and a meaning to life and an ability to accept death when our tenure on this planet comes to an end. It endeavours to consider the fundamental questions of life and death, of purpose and meanings. It also looks at futility and meaninglessness of some thought processes and subsequent behaviour.
