# Bhagavad Gita 3: Life is Purposeless

## Title

Life is Purposeless

## Description

From the works of Living Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this clip taken from discourse titled, "Bhagavad Gita -- Chapter 3: Beauty of Purposelessness", Swamiji explains from our childhood we are conditioned to run in the rat race and are taught that life has a purpose. Actually, life has no purpose. We are running behind what we think brings us fulfilment only to be left unfulfilled at the end of it. In the process of running, we postpone our enjoyment and miss a whole dimension of our being.
