Seeking the Savior is generated in one's mind when the vanity of one's pursuit about illusory nature of life lived is realized. Turn back and assess the various stumbling blocks impoverishing our zeal and strength in the journey towards salvation. We find that it is the Eternal who only can take care of us in the present earthly life and in the other worlds by liberating us.
This subject we find in the sankeertana of Annamacharya, "Evvaru Naku Dikku Emani Cheppudu Nika"......
'O My Lord! When I look forward to You as the Savior in the other worlds as well as in the present world, how can I say to others that there is some one else to protect all?
'The emotional attributes of Kama (lust) and Krodha (anger) are harassing impediments for me from times immemorial. They are following me through birth after birth. I don't know in which castes or clans I was born into in my previous births but the emotional attributes of Mada and Matsara (sensuality and envy) followed me to any places I went.
'I don't know what sort of indebtedness I owe to the sensual pleasures but they are following me wherever I go. I don't know what sort of Karmas (misdeeds) I performed undeterred, but now they are, in the form of pious and sinful deeds, haunting like experiences in dreams and causing me embarrassing problems.
'I don't know how many people's vengeance (of previous births) is dangling on me but I am at present in the grip of obstinacy due to the domination of Rajo guna and Tamo guna in me. Despite all these happenings, I still am happy to know that I have come into the shelter and grace of the Almighty, He made me the winner!'....

When you are in that, the realization of the true 'driving force' within, positive energies pervade in you and make your life wonderful and enjoyable experience in this world and 'persona grata' for liberation !
