Come, Let's Immortalize Life/63
'Mar' is the god of lusty desire. To get someone entangled in the clutches of someone else is the act of 'Mar'. 'Mar' is the attraction of the opposites. 'Mar's achievement is to tie up two opposite properties in one knot. Its personality is hybrid. Man is one kind of property. Woman is another kind of property. Both are opposite to one-another. The lustful relationship of two opposite elements is 'Mar'. 'Mar' is absent there, where Ram is present and vice-versa. Have Ram and Ravan ever lived together? Ram and lust are both, mutually and eternally, foes. Only one king, not two kings, can be seated on one throne. Getting influenced by 'Mar' is public-dedication of one's own self to the world, and getting influenced by 'Ram' is application of mind on the supreme path of the supreme soul.
Let aside the sensible persons, the general mass is in the clutches of 'Mar'. 'Mar' is the foundation of 'Charvak' philosophy.

Those who talk of the soul and the supreme Soul; those who describe the transience of the body and the world, and leading a life of 'eat, drink and be merry' as propounded by Omar Khayyam.
Many big stalwarts are made after 'Mar'. The general people are decidedly following the signals of 'Mar'; this evil even carries off those people, whose mind is moved by Ram. It brings some Apsara (Heavenly beauty), and makes him slip off from the onward path. Menaka (a heavenly dancing beauty) is but an illusion of 'Mar'.
Please understand the politics-Versus-diplomacy of 'Mar'. 'Mar' is nothing but a person's own weakness. Basically, 'Mar' has no existence. It is but the weakness of a person. 'Mar' becomes a Satan where it finds a person weak. It is said 'Ram is the strength of the weak." It is just a consolation. Devilry makes one so weak as is not done by strong persons. Where a person is
