If you continue to imitate other cultures, your innate strength and
purity will gradually diminish. Therefore, do not imitate
others. For example a lion attacks an animal only when it is
hungry. It does not go about killing every animal that comes
across. Even a wild beast like the lion has the capacity to
restrain itself. Limitless ego, anger and desire will only lead
you astray. You have to divert your mind from such a situation
and follow the noble path, so that you do not cause harm to others nor do
you suffer in the process. Do not utilize your strength and
power indiscriminately. You see the modern children enjoying
unrestrained freedom. Freedom no doubt is good and permissible,
but should be within a limit. Only then it acquires value. Trying to amass wealth and being over-smart will only lead you to a
danger.
