Dad's father gave this compass to him and Dad, in turn, gave it to me. While not as convenient as a compass in a smart phone, smart phones are at least two orders of magnitude less elegant than this compass.
“It is good to have an end to journey towards, but it is the journey that matters in the end.”

Reflecting on the massive advancements of modern science and technology, Albert Einstein once quipped to a friend,
“You know in the West we have built a large, beautiful ship. It has all the comforts in it. But one thing is missing: It has no compass and does not know where to go.”
Yoga science would agree, and add that without ultimate purpose we can never achieve true happiness or fulfillment.
Purpose gives life meaning, and the wise know that only by understanding and actively pursuing our ultimate purpose can we achieve the meaning and pleasure we crave.
With that axiom in place, we can move on to actually nutting out what that purpose might be and how to pursue it.
Where should we look for ultimate purpose?
Followers of what some call “scientism” would have us believe that modern science can provide the answers to every question, but, while acknowledging its astounding power to shape the world around us, we would also do well to acknowledge it’s limitations.
Because of exclusively focusing on what it calls “primary properties” - that which is quantifiable - it excludes from it’s paradigm that which we actually consider primary.
As famous physicist Erwin Schrodinger said,
“I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is deficient. It gives a lot of factual information, puts all our experience in a magnificently consistent order, but it is ghastly silent about all and sundry that is really near to our heart, that really matters to us. It cannot tell us a word about red and blue, bitter and sweet, physical pain and physical delight; it knows nothing of beautiful and ugly, good or bad, God and eternity.”
Spirituality, however, is supposed to meet that greatest need by taking information from a higher intelligence, the supreme source.
Thus the sincere seeker tries to broaden his or her paradigm by searching for the most comprehensive body of nonmaterial wisdom.
In this way, genuine purpose, meaning and pleasure all become a tangible reality, a scientific experience.
