NO SATISFACTION

The song “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction” by the Rolling Stones is, in the end, a statement of the human condition.  The reason why we are not satisfied is because the purpose of life, according to Vedanta, is to find God.  This is to say, the Atman in each of us seeks to unite with its source the Brahman, which, until this occurs, until we allow it to occur, makes being satisfied in any final way impossible.
