Every being has these two purposes. A certain purpose in life is given to every man, such as contributing to one's state or society in one or more realms such as tax-payment, military service, business, administration, education, industry, and science. A family member must contribute to his family, a teacher to education, and a workman to the enterprise to which he belongs, and so on. These examples show the purpose for the whole. Few people recognize this kind of contribution as the purpose for the whole given to every man by the Original Being.
Most men regard it as their duty.
Men who are able to perform this duty willingly, do so because they feel the purpose for the whole unconsciously. This is also true for all the other things besides man. Though animals and plants may seem to struggle against one another for existence, in reality they do not. They all contribute to the whole. If the mineral kingdom disintegrated there would be a crisis in the preservation of the biological world, for every living thing has to ingest mineral matter.
