The world is a furnace and factory.  You must shape your destiny through honest and untiring efforts.   If you take up this challenge and spend your allotted years, skills and intelligence in a purposeful activity, then you are really entitled to the status of "Karma Yogi."  From dawn to dusk, you must utilise every ounce of your energy in work that is beneficial to yourself and the people of the country.  You should not waste time in wasteful habits; you must devote your strength and stamina for productive aims.  You must strive to feed and foster your family and sit down for meals with them in the happy family circle. Then, God will be delighted to  reside in your heart.
