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.
- Divine Discourse,
