Why seek at all for a purpose?

If you seek this you will never find it

because it is eternally hidden in the seeker.

Life is without purpose – life is its own purpose,

therefore he who lives without purpose truly lives.

Live! Isn’t living itself enough?

The desire to have more than just life is a result

of not properly living –

and that is why the fear of death

grips the human mind, for what is death to one who is really alive!

Where living is intense and total there is no time to fear death –

and there is no time for death, either.

Do not think in the language of purpose –

that language is diseased in itself.

The sky exists without purpose.

God is without purpose,

flowers bloom without purpose,

and stars shine without purpose –

what has happened to poor man

that he cannot live without purpose!

Because man can think he gets into trouble.

A little thinking always leads to trouble.

If you must think, think completely, utterly!

Then the mind whirls so fast with thoughts

that freedom from thoughts is attained.

Then you begin to live.

Rest is the supreme goal, work is the medium.

Total relaxation, with complete freedom from effort,

is the supreme goal.

Then life is a play, and then even effort becomes play.

Poetry, philosophy, religion are the fruits of repose.

This has not been available to everyone,

but technology and science will make it so

in the near future.

That is why I am in favor of technology.

Those who attribute intrinsic value to labor

oppose the use of machines – they have to.

For me, labor has no such intrinsic value: on the contrary,

I see it as a burden.

As long as work is a prerequisite for rest

it cannot be blissful.

When work flows out of a state of rest voluntarily,

then it is blissful.

So I cannot call rest a sin.

Nor do I support sacrifice.

I do not want anyone to live for anybody else, or one generation

to sacrifice itself for another.

Such sacrifices turn out to be very costly –
