One Thing that Distracts You From Your Purpose
Have you noticed how much of your life is driven by a simple question:
Do I like this or not?
If you can go beyond this simple bondage of 'I like, I dislike,' then ninety percent of your spiritual work is already done.
Your mission in the world is distracted by your personal preferences. We say, “I want to do this because I like it,” or “I avoid that because I dislike it.” In other words, we do what we're passionate about and avoid what we're not.
And unknowingly, we shrink the vast possibility of life into a narrow field of our personal choices. But your outer purpose — what you are here to build, create, or contribute to the world — cannot come alive through this mind’s petiness of like and dislike.
Your inner creative powers only awaken when you step beyond what you like and what you don’t.
The Prison of Preference
When you create out of preference, you’re not truly serving life — you’re serving yourself. It’s a subtle difference, but this is why much outer work feels empty, and why even success can often seem hollow.
You may be busy, but you are revolving around yourself. And when you revolve only around yourself, you stay disconnected from the greater intelligence trying to flow through you.
The Easiest Way to Find Your Calling
The shift happens when you begin to ask not, “What do I want to do?” but
What is needed now?
What does life want from me?
If you ask, “What can I get?” you will make a living!
If you ask, “How can I give myself to it?” you will make a life.
This single shift breaks the cycle. Suddenly, your work, your relationships, and even the way you act in the world, stop revolving around your personal comfort and start aligning with the betterment of humanity.
And the beauty is this: when you move this way, your outer purpose becomes clear. It is revealed through the action itself.
If you can transcend this one thing — I like, I dislike — then most of your struggle with purpose dissolves.
Let the divine claim you. Let the outer purpose arise from your Being. Let the goal own you fully. That is possible only when the goal is “God.” And then whatever actions arise from that awakened state will be your outer purpose in the world.
How Can You Make Yourself Available for Grace?
Grace does not select someone based on their preferences. It moves through those who have risen above their likes and dislikes.
To be available for Grace means to be free from the endless tug of like and dislike. It means being willing to do what life is calling you to, regardless of whether it pleases your mind.
Even if you don’t yet possess the skills, talents, or knowledge for this necessary life’s calling, you will acquire them because that purpose must be brought into the world where it is needed.
And in surrendering to that “needed purpose,” something remarkable occurs: your outer purpose is no longer something you pursue. It flows naturally through you, as creation itself.
Because now you have made yourself available for the Grace.
Difference Between an Intelligent and a Genius
If you are an Intelligent person, you will try to do what you love most.
But if you’re a Genius, you will do just what is needed.
What outer purpose could emerge for you if you stopped asking, “What do I like?” and started asking, “What is needed?”
