"The goal of life is to attain happiness, to attain eternal bliss. And this is what mankind is here for. The rest is just secondary.
But nowadays, people have placed God in the second, even third position, while other [worldly] expectations are shining beautifully – as number one!" - Sri Vishwananda
"There’s prayer, which helps to calm the mind. There’s bhajan singing, which will give you bliss; you can lose yourself in it, you develop bhakti inside you. But still, this is not fulfilment. It’s through meditation that you can really come to the power of complete fulfilment. When the prayer, when this bhajan singing makes you lose its aspect of witness to the outside, when you lose yourself and forget about everything, forget even about you being the body, you see that you have become One – with eternity, with God. You have attained your own realisation." - Swami Vishwananda
"The mind has to be fully on the Divine. The mind has to transcend the limitations and transform itself. (...) because our true Self knows no judgment, no difference, no pain, no hatred, no jealousy and no anger. Our true Self is in constant Unity. He is each one of us. And that’s true Love." - Swami Vishwananda
"But there is the greatest force, which governs everything, which is deep inside of you, and this greatest force can’t be satisfied by anything in the outside, only by Pure Love, only by complete devotion to the Divine." - Swami Vishwananda
Namaste Dear Master, Swami Vishwananda in His Divine Wisdom points out clearly that although each soul,s fulfilment is only in attaining Divine still we may chose for ego-satisfactions but the desires whether fulfilled or not fulfilled can never bring the eternal bliss. Swamiji says:

Swami Vishwananda in Czeck TV
In August 2010 while he was in Prague, Swami Vishwananda gave an interview to a popular Czech Online TV channel named "cestyksobe", which signifies "path to oneself".
The Path of devotion followed by Swami Vishwananda has his roots as well in Christianity as in Hinduism. The three qualities of the Path of devotion: Love, Patience and Unity were taught and developed first by Christ and later by Saint Francis of Assisi. Love: Christ said in the Bible: “Love your neighbours as yourself” and “Love your enemy”. The love of Christ for humanity was unconditional; it was so big that he gave his life on the cross for us. He showed us the good example. Saint Francis loved and served every one: sick people, lepers, enemies, richs and poors. He loved all the creatures, seeing Christ in every one.
Patience: Christ had the patience to endure all the sufferings, to teach his disciple and people. Patience is synonym of peaceful, so was Christ. The one who can wait is humble, he knows himself and has no need to put himself before others. He lives with simplicity, Christ said: “ Give away all your wealth and follow me”. And “The birds don’t work and God feeds them. How much God will take care of all your need.” To live in poverty was the main rule of Saint Francis. He endured every thing taking whatever was coming every day as coming from God. He talked from his body as “the donkey” and said one day to brother Leon: “Do you know what is the greatest joy on earth? When we look for a roof at night, to be rejected and slapped in all places and after all to sing the glory of God.” St Francis gave up everything and surrendered totally to the divine providence.
Unity: Christ was fully realised, he said: “Me and the Father are one”. As a God incarnation he was 100% divine and 100% human, he said: “Who have seen me has seen the father”. Like in the Hinduism the Guru is fully immersed in God and the disciple makes no difference between God (the divine formless) and the Sadguru ( the divine with a form). Saint Thomas said to Jesus after the resurrection: “ My Lord and my God”. He was the first of the disciple to declare the unity between god formless and God with a form. Saint Francis saw the divine in the all nature and living beings, birds and wolves, fishes and plants. He talked from brother sun and sister moon, from brother fire and sister water. The unity of the divine nature was always present in his mind. He was one with the elements of the creation. There was no duality.
