Man believes in/ wants/ does something or the otherdepending on what the properties he has genetically inherited make him belive, make him want/ desire and forces him to do. Ultimately Man does not do anything beyond what the God-sent message implanted in him(through His creative and transformation process) enables and directs him to believe, think and do. Each being is a toy manufactured and operated by a self-suffiecient Guna-filled software. Man has no independent status: a toy is the slave of the properties and gunas that makes the toy. Only some toys have software that makes them desire God. Desiring God is not an independent decision of a toy but the result of genetically inherited guns software responding to the external impulses activating the software.
The question is what does God want by creating toys such as Man or other things?
God's Creation evolve and behave in the variety of ways and since He is desire-free, ego-free and attachment-free, He can have no want. He just witnesses, by being everywhere and in every thing, the drama that the illusive properties of desire, want, ego and attachment and etc, enact in the process of infinite existence and transformation of His Creation.
It is for the same reason of differential guna properties inherited and the external impulses, one Man wants to know what Man really wants, while another Man does not see any purpose of trying to know that. The first man may perhaps come to know one day the answer, the second man may also come to understand the answer without the urge to know: the chances of any Man knowing the entire thing however is very low - just about zero.
Still, the software and the external impuses, forces some people to desire God, some others to desire knowing God and still some others not worry about God while a few to preaqach that since God does not exist, there is no need to try knowing or desring God. Different toys do different things.
Let us assume that God does not exist and hence the toys were not made by God but the result of some chance factors which are unknown as yet or unknowable (so far no one and no scientist has been able to claim full knowledge of who created these so-called toys that compose the entire Creation). Some toys therefore can just call that that unknown factors or the unknowable factors as nothing but a single God. It is just a term for the ultimate source of or cause of all that is in the Creation. So, simple an idea: God is the yet Unknown or the Unknowable ultimate cause/ source of everything that science is trying to find out without success so far.
Thus, if the Unknown or the Unknowable exists, God exists. If something exists, it is possible that some toys may desire to know the Unknown or the Unknowable. The scientist toys as a group are programmed to do that ceaselessly and the method they follow is the method of science. But there are some other toys which are programmed to believe that the scientific methods may not succeed in knowing the ultimate Unknown or the Unkowable (since no scientists can provide a scientific guarantee to that effect, even though Science has discovered many Truths that were not known earlier and some celebrated scientist had admitted about a century ago that he knew very little of the what all has to be known). So, some "non-science" toys try to know the Truth/ Unkowable by alternative methods like faith or meditation and the like. But to know or desire something these toys needed some definition of what they are to desire or like to know. Different God-seeking program toys have different definitions.
All who desire God to start with generally have ego, desire and functioning senses. That's common to those who do not desire God. The desire for God is often a subsidiary desire. First, the desire may be to avoid fear of adverse things to happen: by desiring God and praying the fear goes. Ruling out adverse situations is the primary desire, getting over that fear and desire to get God's help is the subsidiary desire. Second, some people desire to see beutiful and amazing things. The subsidary desire is to pray and thank God who creates such beautiful and amazing things in the Universe and in life so that He gives or continues the boon of satisfying the desire to enjoy beatiful and amazing things. Third, some people has the primary desire to acquire some powers from the Almighty infintely powerful God: the subsidiary desire is to get in touch through some subsidiary desire to get in touch with God like prayer and good deeds so that God gives the power to do great things and achieve success. Fourthly, there are some persons who desire to have peace and bliss that they think only God can give: the subsidiary desire is to try to get into God's fold by prayer, austerity and good deed. Fifth, some persons just want to know God and desire to merge with God for no other reason. Many people have more than one of these desires, depending on the software of ego-guna-sense combination they inherit and the external environment they happen to face at different points of time.
The 'non-science" toys are programmed to desire God/ the Ultimate Unknown: from a scientist' point of view this may appear unscientific and meaningles. But these toys exist in reality among our midst: they include rich and poor toys, educated and uneducated toys, men and women, children and parents, scientists, engineers, medical doctors, politicians,and so on. God in Gita says such 'God desiring programmed toys' of various types exist and this is empirically verifiable hypothesis. Gita says all such toys have programs that are desirable but the best or the rare programs are those seek God as the Single and the Ultimate aim. This also is an empirically viable hypotesis that can be tested. And, the rarest realizes that aim of realization of God. But what is the utility of such god-seeking programs inserted in the human toys?
