This materialistic doctrine which states

‘yavad jivet sukham jivet rnam krtva ghrtam pibet | bhasmibhutasya dehasya punar aagamanam kutah ||
‘Eat, drink and be merry, for death is certain and there is nothing beyond’.

Such desperate men with all anxieties and cares lead a futile life. Struggling to acquire the desired objects and to be anxious for preserving what is acquired are all the cares of their lives. Satisfaction of lust is their highest goal. Their firm conviction is that there is nothing beyond this in life. They do not know what is peace, harmony and joy in life. According to them sorrows and cares alone are the contents of life. Ultimately they end in miserable death, exhausted and disappointed.

Entangled by insatiable desires, the energies of demoniac persons get dissipated. They become restless and impatient with their surroundings and lose their sense of judgment.

Irritated and constantly unhappy with their environment, they become angry over unfulfilled desires. They ceaselessly try to acquire more and more wealth to satisfy their sensual hunger losing sight of a diviner principle of existence.
