ON CONTENTMENT AND AMBITION

Though his lot is enviable, he envies none, nor works up for their fall, though capable of it; he is stone-blind to other's fall, or rise. When he rises by the benign grace of the Supreme- Being, he is not elated to that height that makes him forget his earthly existence. Vice in any form dares not approach him. He avoids it always. Praise and blame work upon him alike. He is not jubilant over the praises, nor deflated by the blames. He goes by reason, relies on conscience and believes in his own SELF His conscience is too faithful to keep awake around the clock to save him from any danger.

Hence, no rumors nor adverse remarks ever assail him. Knowing their poisonous stings, he avoids their approach and remains untainted and unaffected. His mellowed conscience distinguishes the false from genuine and acts accordingly. Being a god man, he says his prayers zealously and regularly, and implores Him to take his hands into His for eternal bliss.
