DO NOT ASPIRE FOR WORLDLY THINGS


Do not aspire for worldly glory, worldly recognition.  This is the surest way to mental and physical restlessness.  Why do you crave for recognition by others? The “others” are mostly ignorant people.  The most successful men of the world are often men of little real wisdom.  Why do you place so much value on their recognition? Instead, aspire for God’s blessings, the blessings of wise men of saintly souls.  That is worth earning, worth striving for.
Do not attach much importance to public opinion.  Public opinion is often wrong.  Attach importance to moral values, codes of conduct, scriptural teachings, opinion of saints and holy men.  You can never go wrong.
