Ideal man & Our higher purpose :–

Ideal man –

 Most men are totally caught up in the frenzy of daily life, and then there are some who chose to leave everything and take Sanyas. Gita’s ideal man is one who is dedicated to action but with a mindset of surrender – a Karma Yogi who is a Sanyasi. It says, As a duck swims in water and when it steps out sheds the water from off its back, so should we learn to move in the world; not wanting in expertness or efficiency in work, but vigilantly guarding against the development of selfish attachments.

Gita’s ideals are Lord Krishna or Raja Janak who have attained enlightenment but still perform the various deeds of the world. They act not because of any expectation because it is the right thing to do. They work for the guidance of other men and to improve the world, because that is how the world progresses - Bhagavad Gita

Our higher purpose –

is to have union with God, our source and the ultimate reality. It is to realize the oneness between God and self. When we go beyond the many layers of physical existence (mind, body, intellect, senses, ego), we realize our true self – the eternal life spirit, the Atman. And, in that discovery is the realization of oneness with God. When that happens we get liberated (Moksha) from the continuous cycle of deed and consequence, of life and death.
