Why am I here?

तुम्ही विचारता, मी येथे कशासाठी आहे
तुम्ही इथे नाही, दोष देण्यासाठी
तुम्ही इथे नाही, रडण्यासाठी
तुम्ही इथे नाही, झोपण्यासाठी
तुम्ही इथे नाही, दिमाख दाखवण्यासाठी
तुम्ही इथे नाही, झगडण्यासाठी
तुम्ही इथे नाही, दुखीः होण्यासाठी
तुम्ही इथे नाही, रागावण्यासाठी
तुम्ही इथे नाही, चिंता करण्यासाठी

                                 - pandit shri shri ravi shankar

I was sitting in my office on a hot afternoon, while I found a book of the art of living. Just somewhere written as a translation of Ravishankar speeches.
and I guess I had the partial answer to the question which has haunted my conscious.
That why are we here?

Here's a translation of above, perhaps it might not be the exact words of the original poem, as I found only the marathi translation.

You ask, why am I here?
You are not here, to blame
You are not here,  to cry
You are not here, to sleep
You are not here, to show off
You are not here, to fight
You are not here, to get sad
You are not here, to get angered
You are not here, to worry...



 We are here to not to do all these things, we are here to do the rest of them! :) Merci!
