What is after all the purpose of life? No doubt when we take an individual, there is a separate purpose in his life; and when we take the multitude, we see that there is a common purpose; and looking at the whole, we can see that there is a purpose for the whole of humanity. Every purpose, whether for an individual or a collectivity, has a certain value, but the purpose of all beings is beyond value. When every individual is engaged in a certain purpose, and a group of individuals is also, then the whole is also accomplishing a purpose; and this is under a direction, which is called a hierarchy.
