The real purpose of success is to be able to be free from its lure. The real purpose of money is to be able to be free from its spell. The real purpose of power, position and prestige is to be able to be free of their charm. The real purpose of world is to be able to be free from its pull. The real purpose of body is to be able to be free from its grasp. The real purpose of life is to be able to be free of the allure of life itself. The real purpose of God is to be able to be transcend all of the above and dissolve oneself completely into it, be one with it and ultimately become it.
