I am informed that the principles which modern market philosophy is governed by the principle that the manufacturers are required to manufacture not what is good, noble, beautiful, spiritual and therefore desirable for the consumers to elevate their souls but what is pleasant, palatable, attractive, temporal and therefore desired to satisfy their senses. Therefore, the ideas, ideals, the idols which modern man addresses himself has to more on temporal level than the spiritual. But since the temporal endowments are superfluous, temporary, transient, fleeting changing, modifying and transforming its forms from person to person, from place to place and from period to period unlike the spiritual truths which is foundational, permanent, abiding, immutable and un-changing from person to person, from place to place and from period to period, men of Wisdom reject the pleasant, palatable, attractive, temporal and accept the good, noble, beautiful, spiritual.

In life I had set for my goals that which is good, noble, beautiful, spiritual to transcend unsuccessfully though pulled down like all human beings by what was pleasant, palatable, attractive, temporal. When I set myself on the Patt to Perfection, I came to the conclusion that the best way of traversing the Path to Perfection, is to study and ponder over every book and every scripture and jot down my impressions and responses on paper and in books, though I knew that my impressions and responses were neither complete nor conclusive, but I believe that what I had studied was beneficial to me and what I had jotted down as impressions and responses would be helpful to others.
