He dealt with The Creator, the human being, life, death, spirit, soul, youth and social attitudes etc. He encouraged man to become a useful part of the society by discarding laziness, ignorance and luxurious living style. He not only infused the spirit of hope in his own age but its light is  glowing unto the present age.
