Only on the dualistic perspective there is meaning in life. On nondualistic perspective, the life is meaningless.+

There is no meaning of life from the standpoint of the Soul, the innermost Self because the world, in which you exist, is merely an illusion created out of the Soul, which is present in the form of consciousness. The one which is born, live, and dies is not the Self.   

You are bound by birth, life, and death so you are not the ‘Self’ because the ‘Self is the Soul, which is birthless and deathless because it is the ever formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. 

Only the false self (ego or you),  thinks there is a meaning of life within the dualistic illusion because of ignorance.  Without the Soul the world in which we exist ceases to exist the Soul, which is the cause of the dualistic illusion (the world in which we exist) and it itself is uncaused.  The Soul is the only reality that is the basis of our illusory existence in which we experience our birth, life, death, and the world as a reality. 

The birth, life-death, and the world are part of the waking experience, which is merely an illusion from the standpoint of the true Self (consciousness).  It is no use of saying that, we are not born, we do not die because we all were born and we all are going to die. However, birth, life, death, and the world are part of the illusion, which comes and goes as a waking experience.  

The formless substance and witness of the three states is real, which is our true identity.   The 'Self'  which is in the form of consciousness has no birth and death. 

When there is no scope for two in reality. Only from the dualistic perspective, there is meaning in life. From the non-dualistic perspective, life is meaningless. :~Santthosh Kumaar
