To achieve this end, man resorts to a diversified sources that include blind pursuit of wealth so that he and those associated with him lead a luxurious life. This enigmatic approach towards life creates an imbalance and, as a consequence, life on this planet becomes turbulent, paradoxical and complicated. This dilemma has engulfed the entire arena at the present era and humans are in the tight clutches of ever-increasing anxieties.
