   In fact, we don't realize the meaning of our existence. Why do I exist? is a typical question that every thinker would ask in one's life. Life is a mystery and I don't find any purpose in this life. It is as it is and nothing more....

   As a child in school I learned this: "God made me to know him, to love him, and to serve him in this world and to be happy with him forever in the next."  I have not found a better answer for the purpose of our existence on earth.
   
   As far as what you are supposed to do, I would guess you are to find your best way to serve God - most likely by serving others based on your gifts and abilities.

   It is written in the Christian bible that our names were in the book of life sinse the beginnig of the world.
      It is written that God knew us before we were in the womb.
      It is written that we are children of God.
      God created the earth for his pleasure.
   
      Could the earth be kinda like an amusement park?
   And the 10 commandments are instructions for our behaveior while at the amusement park, that when we abide by them, we are not ruining the vacation of others?
   
       Our life is what we make of it.

   Simple answers to your very complex questions my friend:
   
   Why are we here on Earth ?
   We are here for a test, and our lives are in a constant flux, we are on a transitory journey which will end when we die.
   
   What am i supposed to do here ?
   We should live our lives according to the commands of our Creator (Allah/God).  Accepting the good and the bad moments of lives and preparing for the final test which will be on the day of judgment.  When we stand in front of our Creator, what we do in this life will be taken to account.
   
   Hope that helps answer your complex questions.

    Thanks for all the kind answers to my question. Most of your answers have touched my heart.. It is a great mystery why we are here, why people get birth and they die. I think we should not overlook the existence of god. People who do not believe in god should believe in the existence of supreme energy that is driving the entire life cycle on this planet. This life in human form is gifted only once and we should live it with passion, full of purpose and enjoyment. No one in this world has even a shred of clue what is going to happen to them or someone in near future !
    In a nutshell, believe in energy (the supreme power or God) and live a purposeful and innocent life...

    Our sole reason for being here is to serve God. He promised that if we obey and stay in his will He would withhold nothing from us. (Now the devil was kicked out of heaven and doomed to hell, and he is roaming the earth 27/7 to take as many of us with him as possible) So while we are on this earth our job is to encourage and help people. God loved us that while we were yet in sin, He gave his only Son to die that we might have an escape from sin to enternal life, and in return all He ask is that we glorfiy, praise, serve Him and he would give us our heart desire.

    If you believe in the spirit, then know this, the spirit wants to be happy.  The spirit is full of knowledge, bliss, and is eternal.  We are "spiritual beings that have been in cased in a physical body, trying to enjoy the material world". 
    
    The spirit just wants to be happy.  Some how our spirit left the spiritual world and choose to come to the material world.  This is what many of my associates from different spiritual paths have been revealing to me.  I keep asking them if I was sober when I made this choice.

    My dear, if you observe words of your question, you have already an answer hidden in it. You say everyday, we wake up, what does it mean ? Are we in reality awake or asleep ? Just ponder over it, just observe yourself wholly and think how you are awake and what is in you that is awake. Is your body awake or your mind awake ? No matter to  whatever place your mind takes way, try to search out the real fact of awakening using your intellect to the maximum and if you find exhaust, just surrender to the Creator of this awakening to explain you it truely. Though at first it seems something bizarre, you will, after a passage of time, feel something wonderful taking place into your whole existence. Then you say we go to work, again ask why do we go to work, just to sustain ourselves or to understand something out of this whole struggle or experience. Just think over it, how fascinating is this all about. So many aspects of existence we undergo during this time when we are into all this that we call going to work. Just ponder over it, is it so common in reality ? So much thinking and acting is involved in all this that when we think about it, we find no shore of it and we find that how creative and wonderful it is ? Just do not treat it as routine. Also going to sleep is not a trivial thing, it can be compared to a death for a short period till we awake. Just think, how happy we are in our sleep ? Nobody wants to awake from it, why ? It is a irony that people are scared of death thinking that it will take us to oblivion but while in sleep, they are happy, they just do not want to be disturned. What does it imply ? If sleep is like a short death and we are happy, then why are we scared of perenial death and longs for a eternal life. Abhishek genius, our life is for the sake of embarking on a beautiful journey to explore about the secret of all this, some call it realization, some call it enlightenment, some call it seeing God. Life is so full of mysteries that once we begin a sincere journey  to explore it, it instils a real peace in our lives but most of us remain deluded through out our lives. Why ? Sacred texts say that only a rarest human bering inculcate a real love to know about all this. As your name suggests, being genius, you are a fit person to analyze it thoroughly and tell the outcome of it to the whole world. As you have posed a question, long long ago, Sidharth had asked it and what he discovered is for whole humanity to see. Best of luck, dear, go on

    From my standpoint, this is a Lila, a divine or cosmic game. God or the ultimate Source, is enjoying Itself in and through its Creation.
    
    The Soul first involutes (comes down), then begins a process of upwards movement (evolution) through the mineral, plant, animal and human life, each stage higher than the next. The Soul is part and parcel of God and as such immortal. Nevertheless, it acquires 'experiences' as designed by God along the way or while travelling its earthly sojourn.
    
    You ask its purpose. We are here to manifest the Ultimate Truth or glorify It, if you like. For this the Soul needs the Form and the Body (also form) needs the Soul, for its final fulfilment in the Divine.
    
    What are you supposed to do? Each Soul is unique, but I feel that you understand this. With Right Mindfulness or Meditation, the inner voice or conscience will become stronger and direct you accordingly. I cannot do this for you and you cannot do this for me. Yours is a unique journey and the Inner Pilot will guide you accordingly. Persevere with patience and have Faith. God bless us all.

    I have also asked the same question before. As years passed by, I learned to see my purpose: to live happily (together with my loved ones) and to do the right things for myself and for the society as a whole. These are the reasons why I go to work, sleep, eat, and live on this Earth. I work because I want to live the life I always wanted - to live with security and happiness. I sleep and eat because that's part of man's needs. It's just a part of the more important goal, which is to attain happiness.

    the answer, the beginning of it is within you. I have learned and grown spiritually for so many years but at different pace and level, and direction. One thing I have noticed is that religion and other people can only express what they know or allow...not really who we are.
    I was uneasy, sick of being someone else when I let the truth set me free. I love the whole Universe, but I can only be me, a better me, a best me but only me. That is where I am at ease, peaceful, loving, effective, generous... that is the best me. So, allow you to sink into you, meditate, observe quietly who you have been or what role you have played all your life, what you really love, what makes you a better person... actually being quiet and observing are basics, from there everyone is different. I find the world full of noises, commercials, ideologies, words... so many things, we need to step away from to really know who we are and what we want to do during our journey here on earth.
    I hope I have been clear and helpful and I wish you peace love happiness and joy on this journey of discovery and LIFE.

       No, not really. This image of the atomic structure is a schematic diagram that shows the energetic relationship between the different sub-atomic particles - it doesn't actually *look* like that!

    How to find your life's path in 5 minutes:
    
    Step 1 - Take 4 minutes and list every goal that you want to accomplish in your lifetime (e.g., be a great parent or spouse, learn another language, buy a 3,000 sq. ft. house, take a trip around the world, serve food at a soup kitchen on Thanksgiving, pay for your children's college, etc.). 
    Step 2 - After the 4 minutes is up, take 1 minute to look over your long list and choose the top three items that are the most important to you.
    Step 3 - Hopefully this gives you insight on what matters most to you in your life.  Dedicate your life towards being the best that you can at your top three items.

    Humans first evolved on earth about 150,000 to 200,000 years ago.
    
    But the story starts a long time before that - about 4.5 billion years ago, with an exploding star...debris from that star was drawn into the gravitational field of the Sun (also a star) and as it collided and consolidated it eventually formed planets. Our Earth is one of those. Initially a ball of hot gases and molten rock, it slowly cooled to form a hard crust about 7 miles deep.
    
    At this stage we can turn to the Oparin-Haldane hypothesis. This proposes an early Earth with a reducing atmosphere in which lightning or ultraviolet radiation energised abiotic synthesis of simple organic molecules - amino acids and nitrogenous bases - which reacted to form organic macromolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. This concept has been demonstrated to be likely in controlled laboratory experiments which replicate those early conditions.
    
           Isolated by phospholipid membranes, these formed functional ‘protocells.’
    
           On this hypothesis, it is reasonable to assume that ‘protocells’ relied on assimilating simple organic compounds such as amino acids, carbohydrates and lipids from the solution of organic molecules in the early ocean.
    
          These simple cellular organisms evolved into bacteria such as cyanobacteria - the earliest fossilized life-form from Earth.
    
    Cyanobacteria are chlorophyllic prokaryotes originating 2100 – 2500 Ma ago. Chlorophyll absorbs the energy of sunlight, driving photosynthesis, which produces free oxygen.
    
    The early Earth was anaerobic.  Photosynthesising cyanobacteria, coupled with the endosymbiosis of chloroplasts within eukaryotic cells, produced the acceleration in atmospheric O2 known as the ‘Oxygen Crisis.’
    
    This drove the evolution of cellular respiration. Once eukaryotic populations of autotrophic, photosynthetic producers and heterotrophic, respiratory consumers were established in an aerobic environment, increased metabolic rates, genetic variation and predator/prey relationships led to the biological diversification known as the ‘Cambrian Explosion’ and became the engines of subsequent evolution by natural selection.
    
    The rest has been a necessary biological consequence of that early chemical eventuality.
    
    So that is why you are here. As to what you are supposed to do - supposed by whom? Purpose and meaning are human constructs. You're alive. What you make of that is up to you.
    
    Good luck!
