Quest begins on the first cry of a man,
From holding finger of his mother till the trembling hand on the stick blessed by the stoop in the backbone.

To accomplish and accumulate wealth,
Maketh mammoth moves on the count of twelve,

Against anything and everything in the world.
Learning, relearning and unlearning,
Pleasing, beseaching,
Accepting, rejecting,
Memorizing, and implementing many lessons untold.

Just to find the ultimate outcome that's nothing but the inner peace.
