Hitha and Mitha (Pleasant and Moderate), these are the directions.  Do not hanker after too garish, costly or fragile objects.  Take the middle course, that will yield the maximum benefits. The craving for sense objects cannot be given up fully. So transform them into an instrument for worship.  Dedicate all your efforts to the Lord. Accept all achievements and failures as proof of Grace of the Lord.  His Will decreed that they should so happen - transform all the six passions into instruments for spiritual uplift..
