Go straight along the path of Karma (Action) and Dharma (Virtue) towards Brahma, the Supreme Reality. This is your destiny. Action has to be performed, there is no turning away.  Each has his allotted task, according to the status, taste, tendency and earned merit.  Do it, with the fear of sin.  Welcome pain and grief, so that you take both success and failure as hammer strokes to shape you into a sturdy Sadhaka, spiritual aspirant.
