Mahaprabhuji is that one
The aim of human life is to awaken from the sleep of ignorance and end the cycle of birth and death. This cycle is caused by karma, both good and bad. Only through the grace of the Guru and the practice of meditation can one attain the knowledge of the Self, or Brahman, which is the immortal light within all. Human life is a precious, singular chance to gain this liberation. Do not waste it in attachment, jealousy, or negative thinking, which only lead to further rebirth. Selfless service, prayer, and universal love are the path. Without the Guru's grace, one remains trapped in endless rebirth. Awaken now, for time lost does not return.
"Meditation is the way to him, to Gurudev. Meditation is the way to thyself, the Ātmā. And meditation is the way to Brahman, the Supreme."
"Human life is given to get Brahma jñāna, Ātmā jñāna, while projecting love. Love is a form of God."
