Benefits of an Unfaltering Aim
It is extremely essential to know, what is the aim of a human
birth?  What is the aim of our life ?    Just as,  when a
man leaves his house,  but if he has no idea of where he
has to go, then what will be his state?
 
If he asks someone -  please tell me the directions?
And he replies,  ‘Directions, to which place, sir?’
And he says - ‘To any place !’   He replies - ‘Then
go anywhere !  What is there for me to tell you?’.   If
the intent to go to Badrinarayan
is decidedly confirmed, then directions to it,  will also
be revealed, and the means to get their will also be
investigated.  Where to go from,  how to go,  whether
walking,  by car, all this will come together later on,
but one must first have this single-pointed thought
within him, that we want to go to Badrinarayan.
Similarly,  the main aim of human birth is to realize
God.  However, due to not recognizing this aim, even on
