PURPOSE

The Only Purpose: Becoming Love Itself

There comes a time in life when we realize that everything we have grasped for, stability, success, relationships, material wealth, is transient. The house we fought to keep, the career we built, the people we once swore we couldn't live without, all of it shifts, changes, and, eventually, dissolves. And yet, we resist. We cling to these things as if they define us, as if our survival depends on their permanence.

But survival is not our purpose.

It is not our purpose to maintain the body-mind at all costs, to stay in one place forever, or to ensure that every chapter of our story unfolds according to plan. It is not our purpose to accumulate wealth or recognition. These are merely shadows, echoes of a world that convinces us that our worth is measured by what we own, who we know, or what we achieve.

The only true purpose is to be the conduit through which love extends itself. To allow love, not fleeting affection, not transactional relationships, but love itself, to be our greatest beloved. When we stop worshiping false idols, the house, the bank account, the carefully curated identity, we begin to see through the illusion. The world as we knew it falls away, and in its place remains only what is real: love.

And as we come to love, love itself, we realize that we have finally come to love ourselves.

This is grace. This is freedom. This is what remains when all else fades.
