In the Srimad Bhagavad-Gita the Lord asserts that He appears in every millennium just to reestablish the way of religion. The way of religion is made by the Supreme Lord. No one can manufacture a new path of religion, as is the fashion for certain ambitious persons. The factual way of religion is to accept the Lord as the supreme authority and thus render service unto Him in spontaneous love.
A living being cannot help but render service because he is constitutionally made for that purpose. The only function of the living being is to render service to the Lord. The Lord is great, and living beings are subordinate to Him. Therefore, the duty of the living being is just to serve Him only.
Unfortunately the illusioned living beings, out of misunderstanding only, become servants of the senses by material desire. This desire is called avidya, or nescience. And out of such desire the living being makes different plans for material enjoyment centered around acquiring sense objects and give prime importance to simply eating, sleeping, mating and defending.
He therefore becomes entangled in the chain of repeated birth and death by transmigrating into different bodies on different planets under the direction of the Supreme Lord. Therefore, only when one is beyond the boundary of this nescience, one can become free from the threefold miseries of material life. That is the law of nature.
