Death by embracing your essential nature

Keep your essential nature at a safe distance from the fatal poison of worldly pleasures so that the road for your future welfare may be easy and clear. That you are an occupant of the House of God is your great dower; everything else, here, there, and everywhere, and at all times, is an indubitable prisonhouse of sorrow. Death by embracing your essential nature is to be preferred to alienation from it and consequent ruination—so says the Geeta : how true ! Right conduct is supreme strength. A little of endurance makes for endless joy.
