The refinement of life calls for continual sadhana (spiritual practice). Without such practice, life
gets degraded. For instance, a diamond gets enhanced in value when it goes through the process
of cutting and faceting. Likewise, gold, taken out as ore from the earth, becomes pure and
valuable after refinement. In the same manner, sadhana is necessary to elevate life from the
trivial to the sublime. No one is a scholar or a man of virtue at the moment of birth. It is only
through various endeavours that he becomes a scholar and a righteous person.
