Is there a prescription of how we should lead our life amidst its challenges, while living in the world?
You must be humble, yet strong to resist temptation. Do not yield like cowards to the sly insinuations of the senses. Your time here has to be used not just to earn your income, it must also be used to acquire the art of being content and calm, collected and courageous. You must also cultivate an ardent thirst for knowing the truth of the world and of your own self. Your words must be like honey and your hearts must be as soft as butter. Your outlook must be like the lamp, illumining, not confusing. Be like the umpire on the football field, watching the game, judging the play according to the rules laid down, unaffected by success or reverse of this team or that.
