I have been told that if I know this, I will find it easier to meditate. Could you tell me how to discover the answer to this?

The aim of life is God-realization. To become one with Jesus is the goal of life. To
transmute the brutal instincts and to become divine is the goal of life. If you control anger,
eradicate selfishness and develop tolerance, compassion, selflessness, generosity, courage,
forgiveness, you will become divine. Is selfishness good? No. So become selfless. Is greediness
good? Is anger good? Is lust good? Is vanity good? These form the lower nature of man. So
remove these and become selfless, generous, patient, tolerant, pure and humble. This is the goal.
