Existence...

"Reality is Existence infinite and eternal. Existence has no purpose by virtue of its being real, infinite and eternal. Existence exists. Being Existence it has to exist. Hence, Existence, the Reality, cannot have any purpose. It just is. It is self-existing.

"Everything – all the things and all the beings – in Existence has a purpose. All things and beings have a purpose and must have a purpose, or else they cannot be in existence as what they are. Their very being in existence proves their purpose; and their sole purpose in existing is to become free of purpose – meaning, to become purposeless. Purposelessness is of Reality; to have a purpose is to be lost in falseness. Everything exists only because it has a purpose. The moment that purpose has been accomplished, everything disappears and Existence is manifested as self-existing Self.

"Purpose presumes a direction, and since Existence, being everything and everywhere, cannot have any direction – directions must always be in nothing and lead nowhere. Hence, to have a purpose is to create a false goal. Love alone is devoid of all purpose, and a spark of Divine Love sets fire to all purposes. The goal of life in creation is to arrive at purposelessness, which is the state of Reality."
