Original
Why is it meaningless to spend all our time and energy in earning money and acquiring skills? Bhagawan, Our Loving Lord, reminds us today.
The purpose of human birth is not to be born again and again from the womb of a mother, spend life aimlessly and finally depart from this world! There is a specific purpose why one is born in this world. Therefore, one must realise the purpose and sanctify his life. Our education, our work and the money we earn - all must be spent in a purposeful way. The students of the present day are pursuing education to make a living. They are acquiring degrees with the sole purpose of earning money. What is so great about struggling to fill one’s own belly? Even dogs and foxes fill their bellies! You might have observed in the circus that even the monkeys learn several types of feats and display them. You, who are born as human beings, should not behave like dogs, foxes and monkeys. If you do so, of what use is your education? The education you acquire must be put to proper use. Only then will it become meaningful and give strength to your personality.

Wherever you are, you must remember three things: Where did we come from? Where are we at present? What is the purpose of our coming here? – BABA
