 Krishna tells Arjuna that we have a tremendous amount of attachment to this world of material and mental structure. We keeps searching happiness out there. But how can we find a thing which has never been there? That is why we live a miserable life. But when we explore it within, all the passionate energy is channeled into awakening of wisdom. That state when realized is marked by permanent happiness, a calm state, having abundant vitality and the concentration of genius.

But even this is not the end. Its goal is to return to evolution of unitary state. In that state mind is still and the consciousness rests in pure, unitary state, which is a state of permanent bliss. This is what the purpose of meditation is..

Express yourself completely,

then keep quiet.

Be like the forces of nature:

when it blows, there is only wind;

when it rains, there is only rain;

when the clouds pass, the sun shines through.

If you open yourself to the Tao,

you are at one with the Tao

and you can embody it completely.

If you open yourself to insight,

you are at one with insight

and you can use it completely.

If you open yourself to loss,

you are at one with loss

and you can accept it completely.

Open yourself to the Tao,

then trust your natural responses;

and everything will fall into place.

~ Lao Tzu

...from 'Tao Te Ching' (23), translation by S. Mitchell
