Dallas, it is the human mind embedded in time that asks this
question. We all want to have a grand purpose or outcome
to any effort we make. But life need not be considered effort.
It can, for example, be considered fun. An adventure. This
is, after all, how children see it (didn't a Master once say that
we must become as a little child?). I follow Meister Eckhart
who said that life has no purpose because it does not need
one.
