I think there’s actually a dilemma concerning this. While lots of sects praise having a purpose, there are also many that praise “surrender” and “the flow”. I created a thread about it nearly a year ago, and I’d sure enjoy hearing further thoughts on it.
I haven’t had a chance to resolve that paradox yet, however, here’s a quote from Tao Te Ching that warms my being at times.
“Because he doesn’t know who he is, people recognize themselves in him.
Because he has no goal in mind, everything he does succeeds.”
As a person who experienced ego death and experienced one of the strangest ~2 months of my life nearly 4 years ago, those verses have a deeper meaning to me…
Ever since I’ve been trying to catch that experience once more, but unfortunately I am either not purposeful enough or there’s indeed a strange paradox in striving to cease all striving…

The word was elohim, which is an epithet of God. But the meaning is magistrate
אֱלֹהִ֣ים
“you are magistrates, children of the most high.”
[like a prince below a King…].
“But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall…” Psalm 82:7
