LESSER AND GREATER PURPOSES

Destiny decides who you meet in life.

There are multiple purposes of each existence, rather than a single purpose, however there is also an ultimate purpose of a things existence. For instance from one perspective the purpose of a single red blood cell is to survive, from a greater perspective its purpose is to fulfil its own small task, from an even greater perspective its purpose is to sustain the life of a living being.

Similarly in the life of man there are numerous lesser purposes when looked at from varying perspectives, for example from the lowest perspective the purpose of man is to survive, at a greater perspective his purpose is to care for and nurture the happiness of his offspring, from an even greater perspective his purpose is to find his talents and contribute to the welfare of his society, and at an even greater perspective – for Baha’is the ultimate object of man’s creation – his purpose to attain the honour and joy of finding and loving his Creator, and in being able to reflect his Lords divine qualities such as love, kindness, Wisdom, Bounty, Forbearance, Benevolence, and Mercy.
