He who does what should not be done and fails to do what should be done, who forgets the true aim of life and sinks into transients pleasures - he will one day envy the man who lives in high contemplation.
And the man whose mind, filled with determination, is longing for the infinite NIRVANA, and who is free from sensuous pleasures, is called uddham-soto, 'he who goes upstream', for against the current of passions and worldly life he is bound for the joy of the Infinite.
