Whenever you "do" something, you have a purpose that is clear in your mind. If you read the news, your purpose is to be informed, when you watch a movie, you want to be entertained, in meeting a friend you look for company, you eat to get energy and survive. All this, in the physical world. What about the spiritual world? Here the detection of a purpose is not as easy. In undertaking a task, is your primary goal the achievement of material benefits such as money, success, praise, fame? Is your hidden purpose the glorification of your ego? If you check your ostensible beliefs and what your ego identifies as 'needs', you can have a clear idea of what is the psychological 'fuel' that makes the engine of your 'self' run. You will thus realize whether your deepest aim is to enrich your spirit or just your body.
