Suppose a poor man is trying to get out of this condition, poor condition. He becomes a rich man. So that is also purposeless. From poor man to become rich man, it is also purposeless. Because today you are rich man; again you will become poor man. Punaḥ punaś carvita-carvaṇānām ([[vanisource:SB 7.5.30|SB 7.5.30]]), chewing the chewed, sometimes poor man, sometimes . . . practically we see a man in our presence, he was very poor man, he became rich man. And again his everything, business, failed. He again became a poor man. So this kind of poor man, rich man, sometimes Brahmā, sometimes ant, sometimes cats, dogs—this is all purposeless life. Purpose . . . real life is eternal, blissful life, sac-cid-ānanda-vigraha (Bs. 5.1). That should be our aim of life.

So if you want that life and if you want to get free from this purposeless life, anartha upaśamaṁ sākṣād bhakti-yogam adhokṣaje, then you have to take to bhakti-yogam, transcendental loving service to the Lord.
