Abstract
Today our so-called modern and advanced society is dominated by craving, greed, hatred, ignorance, suspicion, fear, anxieties, tension, stress etc. People feel loneliness (seclusion), frustration (dissatisfaction), jealousy and enmity. Everywhere there is fighting in society. Economic factors have become prominent in society. Everywhere, there is a struggle to gain economic reward, comfort and luxury. People continuously run and fight for economic, social, political superiority. Lifestyle brings anxieties, tension and stress in the mind of people. The mind is impatient (cancala trembling, impulsive) and unsteady by nature. It runs here and there in search of happiness (Dhp.33.) In this modern and competitive society. The mind has become uncontrolled. An uncontrolled mind is always indulging in unwholesome thoughts of greed, selfishness and attachment to worldly things. Desire plays a role behind all these factors. If one desire is fulfilled, the other raises its head. The one becomes dissatisfied with that for which he made great effort earlier to obtain. In order to satisfy our endless worldly desires, we suffer in different ways and never become happy or satisfied.
