How amazing is this! A person can get sacrifices galore performed through scholars versed in Vedhic ritual lore and himself perform them; A person can praise the holiness of diverse shrines and spots to inspire others to journey thereto and himself journey thither; a person can teach the eight to many and make them experts and himself master them all. But, few are there who succeed in mastering their bodies, senses and wayward minds and turn inward to gain perpetual and unchanging equanimity. Life is most precious. The breath () which sustains it is even more precious. Nevertheless, it becomes often necessary to give up this precious while attempting to realise some goals. Human nature is such that man is never content with a single achievement. He feels "there is always room at the top." This urges him on and on towards higher and higher goals. He wins many victories and craves for more. He never attains satiety. To be ever discontended - that state alone gives him contentment!
