The questions, "Why do souls come on earth? Why has this creation taken place? What is the purpose of this manifestation?" may be answered in one word: satisfaction; for the satisfaction of God. Why is God not satisfied without it? Because God is The Only Being, and the desire of being is to become conscious of being. This consciousness experiences life through various channels, names and forms; and in man this consciousness of being reaches its culmination. In plain words, through man God experiences life at its highest perfection.
