The purpose of creation

Everything that is created is bound to get destroyed at some point of time. Then why create? A Good question to begin with. Well, let us take an example of this universe! Why was this universe, our galaxy in which our solar system exists, our planet on which we live, was created in first place? Was this a freaking accident or a well planned, calculated effort of a supreme power whom we, the mere mortals, cannot comprehend. Lets say this was a freaking accident, then what? Ok, all of a sudden all the atoms decide to converge together and get zipped into one billionth of an atom and catapult themselves in all directions forming an infinite universe which is still expanding! Good theory by the "Big Bangers" so far. But then the question remains what were those enthusiastic atoms doing before the big bang. Who put them in a time-less and space-less plane which could not have existed?? This gets too complicated here on. So beware!

Now that the universe was to be created, it had to be timed perfectly, an accident again I suppose?? A micro-second late or early, everything would have been a meaningless mass floating in the void. Then the galaxies formed, our solar system formed, our planet formed. So many things took shape and size. Everything was busy being created. This is a mighty exercise. But all this exercise is a mere accident is a grossly misunderstood reality.  An accident my happen a couple of times. At the most it may happen in a random manner. But something happening repeatedly, in a very methodical manner cannot be, under any circumstance, be construed as an accident. So the alternative hypothesis is, it is God's mischief. But what was God up to to create this whole melo-drama called universe. The answer is God wanted the hi-tech, 3D, real-time gaming experience. God is the Architect, God is the Maintenance department, God is the Demolition Team. God is one without the any form or any attribute. No gender, Ageless, Devoid of any impression or influence, impartial, and yet exists in every particle of creation.

God created supremely intelligent being called humans. God also gifted humans with ability to create. It was a big clue given to human whose mind was always in search of the almighty who created everything. With this creativity human could create practically anything he/she dreamed of. The creative powers were as powerful as the almighty itself. Humans mind created art, music, rituals, in order to know God more. In turn, the artists started discovering themselves and were amazed by the results. Some became "Realised" souls because they realised the purpose of the creation. Here we come to the question again! Why create?? What do we realise?

Here the answer changes! The purpose of creation is to be destroyed eventually. The deeper I probe, more the answer will change. So now its your turn to think what is the purpose of creation? What is my purpose on this planet? Why am I here? These are the question which does not need immediate answers. Never be in hurry to find the answer to these questions! Just be with it!!
