DUTY
Let duty direct you, but not desire. What you have to do
as a human being is given in the Scriptures. If you follow the Path of Duty,
the serpent of desire cannot bite you. Desire leads to multitudes of desire. Duty
employs you with one act of service or the other. Desire, like the prostitute,
invites many. Duty invites only Dharma, the Law of Right Action. Let
every speech and action be put to the test of duty; if it does not, follow it
not. Let that be the dictum. Do not be haste to decide what your duty is, know
it from the Scriptures and from the Teachers. An impure mind cannot gaze
between duty and desire.
