Goal of our life

Goal of our life

A world divided — nations, races,
But one to higher, watching faces.
The Incarnations always see
Beyond our surface — unity.
This layered cake of outward forms,
Of winding roads and shifting norms,
Was drawn by God with one intent:
To make life rich, and fully spent.

In history’s dawn, few needs were known,
Like students left to stand alone.
Millennia of trials came,
Of tests that burned like holy flame.
And when the hour was right and true,
A Teacher-Prophet came to view —
To bless the world, to light the way,
And teach the soul what it must say.

A sense was felt, so strong, so clear —
These teachings lift, they draw us near.
Each time new knowledge came to rise,
It opened hearts and cleared our eyes.
A season of awakening thought
Gave reason to the truths we sought.
And faith and hope within us burned,
As toward the Truth our spirits turned.

Yet still, like children we remain
Our immaturity brings pain.
In places where there should be peace,
Disputes and strife will never cease.
We split the world in selfish pride,
And each demands their chosen side.
Through wars and battles, dark confusion,
Revolts become a swift conclusion.

Yet all these storms — though fierce, unkind —
Help evolution clear the mind.
Old flaws must die, their time is done;
We must live forward, toward the Sun.
Life’s clock keeps ticking soft, unseen
Through every moment lived between.
Our faults and wisdom both decide
If light will fade, or still abide.

The soul's bright arsenal we fill,
By choosing truth, with strength and will.
A personal search must now begin
It shapes our fate, our world within.
The cure is simple, tried, and true
Be honest in all things you do.
Ask clearly: Why am I here?
Why was I born in this place, this year?

Where lies the cradle of my soul?
What is my higher, truest goal?
Only such pure and noble aim
Can end the suffering and shame.
It breaks down barriers, brings delight,
And fills each moment with the light.
To live as one — to rise above,
To move toward peace, create, and love.
