- Put your full effort into the work that you do without a single thought about winning or
losing, and then you can only achieve a full victory.
- You have the right to work, but never desire the fruit of work, because when you focus on
the fruit, then you cannot enjoy the process. You should never engage in action for the
sake of reward.
- You need to establish within yourself without selfish attachments about success and
failure.
- You need to see yourself in all and all in yourself.
- You have renounced every selfish desire and sense of craving tormenting the heart.
- You have neither been agitated by sorrow, nor hankering after pleasure.
- You have neither been happy by good fortune nor depressed by bad.
- When you keep thinking about sense objects, attachment comes automatically.
Attachment is the first step of the breed's desire, then the lust of possession that goes on
fire to anger. Anger is good clouds your judgment, then you can no longer learn from past
mistakes. When you lose the power of judgment to choose between what is wise and what
is unwise, and then your life is a complete waste.
- You need to look upon friend and foe with an equal eye.
- You need to be buoyed up by praise and cast down by blame.
- You need to be the same in pleasure and pain, honor and dishonor.
