There is no doubt that we, as living beings (jivas) are stuck here for an eternal journey in a circle, cycle of birth and rebirths. Moreover, old age, sickness, and death are a certainty. Hence we are stay-put as troubled souls, atrupta jivas, what is the way out?
This problem of suffering, inevitable old age, sickness, and death made Siddhartha Goutama take to intense meditation and finally drop the very problem as an insolvable one and 'just sat down discarding the very search'. He kept quiet, not even uttering a word!. This 'nirvana' is probably the only solution to the problem? in other words, it is yoga, contemplating on 'nothingness', the brahmn.
