[satpunga singh]

to understand that life has no meaning.

what we see as life, is false.

what we do not even try to comprehend, is true.

Thanks. So the meaning of life is to find God. How does one find God?

[satpunga singh]

you have already seen him. but you just dont know it.

[Barfi n Mithai]

^^Could you please expand.

[Nehmat]

How does one find God?

naanak gur saalaahee aapnaa jidoo paa-ee parabh so-ay.

O Nanak, I sing the Praises of my Guru; through Him, I find that God.

What is the praise?

'Waheguru'.

This is the highest praise of one's Guru, out of all. This is so because it's given to us by Maharaj Ji himself, our Guru. It came from our Guru's mukh. It's extremely precious. 'Amul'.

[Ramneet Singh]

I think this question cannot be answered by someone else. The word life has no meaning without reference to someone's life. So the real question is what is the meaning of YOUR life.

Only you know the true answer to your own question. Someone telling you "the meaning to life is blah blah" is meaningless. You must yourself search for the answer and with guru jis blessing, the answer will come.
