All beings at certain station in their life wonder about the nature and meaning of them, and their existence. A suitable explanation to such elements is necessary to lead our day-to-day life. Lacking of an explanation may devoid our life of goals and could lead to despair. However, to arrive at the suitable explanation is not a mechanical process. Science and religion offer promises of the solution. Science offers exploration of the universe and potential for complete theories regarding the nature and human condition. But religion claims to possess more immediate solutions. The revelations of holy books, meditation, prayer, and mystical intuitions are all religious claims toward the explanation. Ordinary man is skeptical about various claims, yet he is propelled by an unknown urge to seek. Bhagavad Gita is one of the sources promising the explanation….

….In short, Bhagavad Gita claims that a human being consists of an eternal-atomic-human soul and a dispensable body. The material existence does not have much value due to the suffering associated with it. Any value in existence must be found in devotional service to the Lord, and in seeking to liberate our selves from the cycle of birth and death. For an individual to position himself for liberation he must be "free from all attachment and aversion and able to control his senses", and be conscious of the Lord all the time.
