well what do you do anon??
gpt
My sadhana.
Why do you ask?
human
What does that mean?
gpt
It means you likely dont know what you are talking about.
Why are you so insistent on knowing what I do?
human
I was just curious if you had anything to contribute to OP’s question.

OP is right, there is no real enjoyment in life without self-realization.
But even with no understanding or acceptance of a metaphysical or meaningful underpinning, the correct course is still dharma.
atha cainaṁ nitya-jātaṁ / nityaṁ vā manyase mṛtam
tathāpi tvaṁ mahā-bāho / nainaṁ śocitum arhasi
>jātasya hi dhruvo mṛtyur / dhruvaṁ janma mṛtasya ca
>tasmād aparihārye ’rthe / na tvaṁ śocitum arhasi
avyaktādīni bhūtāni / vyakta-madhyāni bhārata
avyakta-nidhanāny eva / tatra kā paridevanā
> If, however, you think that the self will always be born and die forever, you still have no reason to lament, O mighty-armed.
> One who has taken his birth is sure to die, and after death one is sure to take birth again. Therefore, in the unavoidable discharge of your duty, you should not lament.
> All created beings are unmanifest in their beginning, manifest in their interim state, and unmanifest again when annihilated. So what need is there for lamentation? 
(Note: With the self able to 'die forever' being the precursor, we can understand 'take birth again' to mean new life will arise from ashes of the old. These verses specifically are arguing from a position that denies reincarnation of an eternal self.)
