Abstract

Man‟s search for meaning of life is the most basic building block for successful life. 
The reason of living within this universe always quizzes his mind. One time or another 
he ponders over every thing's existence and the cosmology of his entire surrounding. 
His questions range from the concepts of the controlling authority, death, status after 
death, etc. Study of history shows that ultimate answers to these questions are found in 
the religion alone as it contains knowledge received from the Spiritual Being. 
Therefore, it is important to establish that man is religious by nature. First man of this 
earth “Hazrat Adam and Eve” was inherently religious as well since they too brought 
the message of God and came with the knowledge of themselves and the universe. 
Religion is an essential element for purifying the soul and disciplining the emotions, for 
in religion the noble emotions find fertile ground and an inexhaustible spring to help 
them achieve their goals and for strengthening will power and supplying it with the 
greatest motives and power to resist the factor of helplessness and despair
