Question
My purpose
---
I am a buddhist and realized that this life may be my last reincarnation. I realized this because my life is very steady, calm and serene. I had some ups and downs in the past, but I changed my negative features of character fast, so that I dont have to relearn thi stuff again in the future lives. I am only 23 and wonder if I can do smth, because I feel like my purpose in this life is done, so I just drift along the life, waiting for the physical death. I dont have any attachments to this world, material things etc. I really feel one step above other people, angry, irratable, greedy. They look like children to me, and I feel like grown up, you know. Maybe this is nirvana or smth. Anyway, I just wanted to ask you if I should do smth special in this case, because I cannot find any reference to what to do if I feel like I achieve my purpose in this life.

Answer
Dear anonymous friend,
Please note that I speak for Advayavada Buddhism only.
If you want to know more about this form of Buddhism please visit www.advayavada.nl.
As for your question, I do get the impression that you are seriously trapped in the state of viparyasa and should asap seek the threefold help of a GP, psychologist and support group.
Kind regards,
John Willemsens a.k.a. Advayavadananda.
