vicinity by his venom, similarly the incarnation of KALIA in the form of ego or the egoistic
devil in the life-stream of the human race, is responsible for the agonies and sufferings of

the entire human society. This egoistic devil, assuming various forms in causing chaotic
and miserable conditions in human life. For example, fanaticism under the name of

religion, lust for money, wealth and power under the grab of high ambition and desire for
fame, respect, dignity, prominence under the countenance of pride and prestige, all

these are in fact, the various forms of the egoistic devil of KALIA. Similarly, various types
of prides, such as national pride, racial pride, family pride, pride of caste, language,

province etc., are also literally different forms of this egoistic devil or KALIA. Just as
there are two sides to a coin, similarly, this ego has two sides, namely, the Demon of

Hatred and the Demon of Death (कली आणण काळ). While on the one hand, KALI the demon

of hatred creates anarchy in human life in the form of distress, poverty, misery,

suffering, physcial and mental diseases, on the other hand, KAAL the demon of death is
responsible for devastating human life, in the form of quarrels and disputes, riots and

strifes, fights and murders, wars and battles. In this way, the entire human race is
literally being pulverised and scorched by the deadly venom of this egoistic devil or

KALIA. Though this is the prevailing existing situation, the human race does not seem to
be conscious of this reality. In this context, JEEVANVIDYA points out that as long as Man

does not specifically take due cognisance of this truth, the human race can never march
towards the goal of achieving peace, happiness and regeneration. Whatever political,

social, religious, economic and educational reforms and improvements that have been
attempted by Man right from historical times upto the present times, have proved to be

futile to achieve the goal of peace, happiness and regeneration of the human race.
Similarly, though the human race has achieved remarkable material development beyond

imagination due to the fantastic progress of science and technology, still science has
been proved to be unsuccessful to achieve, peace, happiness and regeneration of the

human race. Unfortunately, the human race does not seem to be conscious of the truth
that achievement of peace, happiness and regeneration does not come within the scope

of science and technology. No doubt, the human race has achieved remarkable material
development by means of unrestrained progress of science, but at the same time the

very human race is standing on the threshold of disaster and catastrophe, due to
tremendous achievements of science and technology. Another important fact that needs

to be remembered in this context is that, while a few rich people derive advantages and
