While the spiritual teachers mentioned above have different teachings and beliefs, many of them agree on certain principles related to life purpose. Here are some:

1. Life purpose is not something that can be found outside of oneself, but rather it is a discovery of one's inner self and potential.
2. Fulfillment and meaning in life come from aligning one's actions and choices with a higher purpose or calling, which may involve service to others.
3. The path to discovering one's life purpose involves self-reflection, introspection, and contemplation.
4. Life purpose is not fixed or static, but rather it may evolve and change over time as one grows and learns.
5. Life purpose is intimately connected to spirituality and the search for deeper meaning in life.

Response:

Buddha:
"The purpose of life is to be happy. Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment. Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. The purpose of life is to overcome suffering and attain enlightenment."

Jesus Christ:
"For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" - Mark 8:36
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." (Matthew 7:1-2)
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment." (Matthew 22:37-39)

Lao Tzu:
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. The purpose of life is to live in harmony with nature and the Tao. Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you."

Muhammad:
"The best form of worship is the fulfillment of the needs of others. Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all, it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly. Speak the truth even if it is bitter."

Eckhart Tolle:
Your life has an inner purpose and an outer purpose. Inner purpose concerns Being and is primary. Outer purpose concerns doing and is secondary. Your inner purpose is to awaken. It is as simple as that. You share that purpose with every other person on the planet – because it is the purpose of humanity."

Dalai Lama:
"The purpose of our lives is to be happy. And the true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit."

Deepak Chopra:
"To make the right choices in life, you have to get in touch with your soul. To do this, you need to experience solitude, which most people are afraid of, because in the silence you hear the truth and know the solutions. Find the place inside yourself where nothing is impossible."

Thich Nhat Hanh:
"The purpose of our lives is to be happy. The most important thing is to be able to enjoy your life without being attached to it."

Ramana Maharshi:
"The only true purpose of life is to realize the Self which is ever-present, unchanging, and infinite. Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside."

Sri Chinmoy:
"The purpose of life is to manifest the divine within us. The real goal of life is not to accumulate possessions or to achieve fame, but to attain inner peace and happiness."

Mooji:
"You are already the one you are seeking to be. You are already the one you long to be. There is nothing to fix, nothing to change. Everything is already perfect in its own way. The only thing we need to do is to stop identifying with our thoughts and emotions, and rest in the stillness of our own being."

Jiddu Krishnamurti:
"The purpose of life is to be free, to live in a way that liberates us from the conditioning of the past. The mind is everything; what you think, you become."

Osho:
"The purpose of life is to be totally free, to do what is in your heart. To live the way you want to live. Experience life in all possible ways – good-bad, bitter-sweet, dark-light, summer-winter. Experience all the dualities. Don't be afraid of experience, because the more experience you have, the more mature you become. Drop the idea of becoming someone, because you are already a masterpiece. You cannot be improved. You have only to come to it, to know it, to realize it."

Ram Dass:
"Everything changes once we identify with being the witness to the story, instead of the actor in it. The quieter you become, the more you can hear.""The next message you need is always right where you are."

Paramahansa Yogananda:
"The purpose of life is to know God and to experience God's love. Each of us is a unique expression of God, with our own special talents and gifts to share. Life is a song - sing it. Life is a game - play it. Life is a challenge - meet it. Life is a dream - realize it. Life is a sacrifice - offer it. Life is love - enjoy it. The ultimate purpose of life is to seek the divine and merge with it. The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

Sadhguru:
"The purpose of life is to realize the full depth, the full dimension of what it means to be alive. It is important that you seek meaning and purpose in life, otherwise you are living a meaningless existence. The most important thing in life is to be aware of what you are doing, what you are thinking, and what you are feeling. Life is not about finding yourself, it's about creating yourself."

Sai Baba:
"Life is a challenge, meet it! Life is a dream, realize it! Life is a game, play it! Life is love, enjoy it! The purpose of life is to experience the joy of giving and the happiness of making others happy. The purpose of life is to live in the present moment, with awareness and mindfulness."

Meister Eckhart:
"The ultimate purpose of life is to discover the divine within oneself and express it in every thought, word, and action. True spirituality is not about being religious, but about being authentic and true to oneself. The purpose of life is to live in the present moment, fully and completely. And recognize that the Self and God are one and the same."

Confucius:
"It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop. Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall."

Guru Rinpoche:
"The purpose of life is to discover the true nature of the mind, which is pure awareness, and to cultivate this awareness until it becomes stable and unwavering. The path of awakening requires great courage, determination, and devotion, but it is the only way to discover the true purpose of life."

Rumi:
"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. The purpose of life is to find your way back to your own divine nature and to help others do the same. What you seek is seeking you."
