In this manuscript, Prince Madrais explains his reflection about the life practice of religious people and his intention to look for the true identity as human. Many people believe their religion only with what other people said or a faith that passed by from generation to generation without discussing the main points of teachings. It is like knowing the name of plant but not knowing the form of the plant and its parts. Even though he was given a trust to retell what he got from divine inspiration, he did not directly write before making it sure first. Although he got diverse inspiration, he still try to know the actual facts, then he wrote it. Although he got a trust to retell or write, he made it sure first. He was not interested in gettinghaving the a magical power, but more on getting know about powers button looking for the true identity and, humanity and God’s decree of nature. He did not undertand why the people who confess as the people of God are keeping deceiveing, lying, envy and hypocrisy. They got oher be lost and destruct the nature. Being died is better that become the part of them.
