He asks himself "Who am I after all? What are my life-source, my originalities and my standards? What is this world, and why am I here? What can be the causes of misery and tension despite heaps of happiness and facilities ?" As far as he can delve down in the depths of meditation, he persevers indomitably to touch the bottom.
