Who Am I, Where Have I come from, Where would I go after Death, What is the purpose of this Life ? Vedic wisdom first reveals these truth to you. If these concepts become clear to you, you will easily navigate turbulent ocean of life.
Body is composed of five elements, Earth, water, fire, air and ether (akash). After death and decomposition these elements merge back into respective elements. Core energy which was similar to battery in your car, merges back into where it came from.
Once these basic facts are understood, your whole approach to life will change, you will understand that you are not the owner of this BODY, you are just a custodian and user, just like you change clothing, you shall shed this body one day and move on. Body is a divine instrument given to you for a noble purpose, so use it wisely/judiciously to achive best possible in this life.
So also is the case with MIND. Who is master of your mind/intellect ? Similar to master servers of Google, where is the master server which connects and energizes your mind/thoughts. There are immense posibilities of getting info/knowledge of any domain, provided you learn to connect to master. This is what becomes possible with Meditation. Gradually you become the master NOT the slave of MIND.
NOTE:To bring about this change in YOU, it takes sustained effort and tremendoud WILL power. Years of conditioning/wrong notions taught to you by society have become integral part of you, to UNDO it, takes time and effort, but it is worth IT.
