PURPOSE OF THE WORLD

"The purpose of the world is for you to be lost in it, ultimately. The purpose of the world is for you to suffer--to create the suffering. That seems to be what is needed for (spiritual) awakening to happen.  And then once the awakening happens, with it comes the realization that suffering is unnecessary now. You have reached the end of suffering, because you have transcended the world. It (transcendence) is the place that is free of suffering. 

"This seems to be everybody's path. Perhaps it is not everybody's path in this lifetime, but it seems to be a universal path. Even without a spiritual teaching or a spiritual teacher, I believe that everybody will get there eventually. But that could take time."---Eckhart Tolle
