Questioner: Amma, You say that for everyone the purpose
of life is realization. But it doesn't seem like that, because most people don't attain realization or even seem to strive for it.
Amma: This is because most people have no spiritual understanding. That is what is known as maya, the illusory power of the world that covers truth and distances humankind from it. Whether we are.aware of it or not the real purpose of life is to realize divinity within. There arr many things you may not know in your present mental state. It is chilidish to say "they are non-existant because I am unaware of them". As situations open up and experiences unfold, new and unknown phases of life will open up, which will take youwhich will take you to you closer and closer to your own True Self. It is only a question of time. For some this realization may have already occurred, for certain others it will happen at any moment and yet there are others that will learn it at a later stage. Just because it has not happened yet or may not even happen in this lifetime, don't think it is never going to happen.
Within you immense knowledge is waiting for your permission to unfold. But it will not happen unless you allow it to.
