As the embodied soul (spiritual being) continuously passes, in this body, from boyhood to youth to old age, the soul (spiritual being) similarly passes into another body at death. A sober person is not bewildered by such a change.
(Bhagavad Gita Ch.2 Text 13)
Out of many thousands among men, one may endeavor for perfection, and of those who have achieved perfection, hardly one knows Me (God) in truth.
(Bhagavad-gita Ch.7 Text 3)
"I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts".
(Krisna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead says in Bhagavad-Gita Ch.10 Text 9)

The perfection of a human life is to realize one's relationship with God. In the Bhagavad-gita, which is accepted by all authorities in transcendental science as the basis of all knowledge, we understand that not only human beings but all living entities are parts and parcels of God. The parts are meant for serving the whole. We living entities, being parts and parcels of God, are duty-bound to serve Him. The Personality of Godhead, who is fully cognizant of everything in His creation, informs us in the Bhagavad-gita that it is in our best interest that we desire to get out of this miserable material existense full of death and diseases. One who is convinced of his spiritual identity and is freed from the material conception of existence, who is free from illusion and is transcendental to the modes of material nature, who constantly engages in understanding spiritual knowledge and who has completely severed him/herself from material sense enjoyment can go back to God.
(His Divine Grace A.C.Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada)
