Joseph CampbellThe goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe, to match your nature with Nature.
About This Quote
The goal of life is to make your heartbeat match the beat of the universe. We are on this planet to help others and to help ourselves. How do you do that? Change your heartbeats with the beat of the universe. When you are on one side of your heartbeat, you are not in harmony with the universe, but when you are on the other side, that’s when you are in harmony with nature’s true rhythm.
A lot of people have taken up meditation, but they are only pretending to change their heartbeats. Such people are not living in harmony with nature’s rhythm. If they truly wanted to change their heartbeat, they would have to change their minds and hearts as well.
