We are currently living in a Kali Yuga, a dark age of materialism. Modern secular people are only aware of their transient physical persona and are suffering from loss of soul. This manifests as isolation, anxiety, depression, meaninglessness, stress-related health problems, addictions, obsessive compulsive behaviours and so on. Psychoactive and pain medication usage has become epidemic and corelates with the rise in secularism. Modern medicine and healthcare has reduced disease dramatically and increased our life expectancy. Doctors and healthcare workers are fine people and do an incredible job but people also have spiritual needs which aren’t being recognised and addressed. Scientism (scientific materialism) has become our religion and belief system and has produced a dogmatic one-sided materialistic worldview which limits a person to being a physical body alone.
