During 35 years in treating the patients for their physical ailments, The poet realized the human suffering is variable in terms of stress and desire by living in the world of passion. This writting has come up, in search of truth in life i.e. soul is in encaged in body material, our life & living is governed by the force of time and forces in the universe . We remain in search of God to be blessed with peace and solace, whereas this can only be achieved by knowing the truth that, 'Godly Power' is hidden in self.

We lead a meaningful life from our birth till death with many leaps and bounce. We are happy and not so happy at times, we have dissatisfaction, discontentment and a feeling of emptiness in our ever growing needs, our purpose in resolving problems is to attain peace and pleasure in our day to day life. We all are looking at our future comforts and a peaceful life at the cost of present day life. Because we want to be sure what good we enjoy today shall remain tomorrow and also what bad we have today should vanish tomorrow. For this reason our mind is not at rest. We have a wishful thinking in how to carry our present to the future.

We know our Gods not only by their teachings but their life itself is a model teaching for us. They realized in their life time only that, perception of physical pleasure is the fulfillment of our passionate desires. Passion to enjoy the physical pleasure is only for selfish gains at the cost of others. Such a pleasure is never everlasting because there is ever growing need and desire to maintain such status in the competitive world. We intend to achieve a higher place to keep up our status. With this obsession, our thinking and working is changed, that lures our mind to work for gains by atrocious means and villainous thinking, against suppressing our own conscious self. Such passionate desire and thinking for selfish gains are our karmas which are binding to our soul.

Our birth, life and living in world are governed by the force of time and forces in the universe. Our place of birth, shape, parents and the environment of living are destined before and coded on the pages of 'Time force'. We start growing by the force of life, a force in self! The inherent force in self is the Soul, which helps us in learning, working, growth and development as per the status of material in body and also influence of outside forces in universe. Our life and living is influenced by reactive satanic forces in mind for our passion, ambitions, greed, desire, ego etc which are activated by the world of glamour. The short term physical pleasure in material world is strong and very lucrative because it is instantly visible, physically perceptive and enjoyable. The real pleasure of peace & contentment can only be achieved by withdrawing oneself from the perceivable physical pleasures arising from passion. Apprehension of losing the comfort and pleasure of today inhibits our hypothetical real pleasure in Godly living by renunciation.
