Question:
I am newly starting my spiritual journey and I have to say it has been quite a
ride! As I read books and search the net for food to appease my spiritual
appetite, I have suddenly become over whelmed with which steps to take rather
than jumping all over the place. Right now I’m beginning to meditate (once a
day) and working towards twice a day, I’m also very interested in Aura reading,
getting in touch with my intuition trusting it and the big one is realizing my
soul desire and life purpose…which I have no clue what it is, what I need to do
to figure it out and this is my biggest struggle, almost to desperations. I look
forward to your insightful direction to a purposeful, beneficial, spiritual
fulfilling life….

Answer:
Congratulations on beginning your spiritual journey. You have taken the most
significant step by starting a meditation practice. Your other spiritual
interests you mentioned will help you as well, but take care not to go overboard
and confuse yourself and dilute your energies. Taking the time to discover your
purpose is certainly a good idea, but don’t let it become a desperate quest for
an “aha” experience. Your highest purpose in life is not in what you do, but in
living what you are, your being. Finding your purpose is, in the larger sense,
the ongoing unfoldment of your self-realization. So it’s less a matter of your
career path than it is being fully who you are in whatever career you might be
pursuing at the time.
In order to get in touch with what is the natural expression of your being, ask
yourself what it is that you love doing. Ask what gifts you have that can serve
others, and how best you can use them. Keep a journal for two weeks asking these
questions to yourself every after meditation and then writing down all the
answers that come to you. After that time you will have a clearer idea what
types of activities are aligned to your life purpose.
Love,
Deepak
