Some people will probably think he's being a nihilist. But if you truly understand, nihilism does have it's positive aspect. You have to go through the negative nihilism to get to the optimistic nihilism. Which in truth, there's a liberation from not having a purpose. Life itself is inherently meaningless, but you use that meaningless in the most liberating way to live life. That's what i realized and it is truly liberating to not be so bounded by some purpose.

Maybe quit looking for purpose and just be glad you got to experience life. How about that guru?

A sedentary routine can drain an individual of both their physical and mental vitality. Though there are perhaps an infinite variety of life pursuits available, the author seems to suggest that we should still have a goal. Make an effort to engage with life in a meaningful way. It’s relatively said that life has so many channels that even one million years of studying it would not result in encompassing it absolutely. Understanding can arise instead from the act of seeking out new experiences and ideas, for the sake of experiencing and not for the achievement of a particular aim.
