While we may all have different perspectives of what “purpose in life” means, most any definition would include having a sense of meaningfulness and direction and a feeling that life is worth living.

It embraces a sense of intentionality and goal directedness — inner directedness — that becomes a compass to guide our behavior.

Distilled to its purest essence, purpose could perhaps be thought of as the reason for our existence.

You may wonder why Sahaja Online offers guided meditation sessions that include hundreds of participants at the same time, and the answer lies in the concept of the collective unconscious.
