In Vedic culture, the recognition of the artificial imposition of birth, death, old age, and disease is a sign of wisdom . The onslaught of the material energies imposed upon the living beings should be understood and accepted . It has nothing to do with the chance events that a Darwinian supposes , but rather, it’s a wake-up call to a sleeping soul .
Unless the living human being is familiarised with philosophies and until he deeply ponders these events , he is wasting his full potential as a human being. An animal never thinks of such matters but spends its time eating, sleeping, mating, and acquiring of defending territories.
One should think why, as a living being, do I have to undergo such forced changes , what happened to my boyhood, youth, and my earlier days . Life gives us varieties of experiences, and our lives are obviously a learning process , we have many opportunities to appreciate and learn others . No one can avoid the forces of nature , we see our childhood heroes dwindling and dying before us .
Krishna, in His Bhagavad Gita, explains all , He gives a run down of how and why the material energies work as they do and how the consciousness ultimately remains separated from such impositions . He kindly comes amongst us to exhibit the utmost glory of life .
We experience a glimpse of the full glory that life has to offer , and to that end, we must be grateful and we must accept our lot given to us , taking full responsibility but at the same time moving on from such limitations to accept something far greater that is our due .
