Dynamic Change

You have some purpose, some goal, and you have some way to attain that goal. If it is true, it is actually a dynamic changing life. When we follow that dynamic change of every being, our goal will be attained. But if we ignore that dynamic change of the universe, even though we have a plan in mind, it will not work. So, if your plan is right, to have some goal in your life means to follow the dynamic change of the world. In this way, our life will go on and on and on endlessly. This is right understanding.
