Additional Principal's Message

The Purpose of our life is to know

Creation is an ocean of surprises. Just  see the little planet in the universe - our world, the Earth. Count the variety of living and non-living things here. From amoeba to elephant, the variety is simply astonishing.
The question is what's our role in creation ? The first possible rational answer is, we do not have any role at all. Like all living beings, we are born, undergo metamorphosis, and die. But is that all ? Are we mere waves in the ocean ? Fortunately not. Why, because human beings alone ask questions. We are unique beings and have a unique role to play in creation. The unique role is to 'know'. Humans alone can know.  Sri Ramakrishna says:"God no doubt dwells in all but he manifests himself more through man than through other beings. He can think of God, he can think of the infinite while other living beings cannot."
But what is the use of knowing? - - - - -  Knowledge brings liberation from all  our sufferings. How do we know ? - - - - - There are two methods: one of science and the other of religion. Science is the study of the external; religion is the study of the internal.
To know the human being is to know the universe. But to know the human being you don't need instruments. The fine instrument called mind will suffice.
The knowledge of why, who, how, what, etc. will all become perfectly clear once we look within our souls. Therefore, let us all sit down quietly for sometime everyday, close our eyes and dive deep within. This alone and nothing else will bring us knowledge, lasting peace and supreme happiness.
