One who is engaged in the battle of life
needs the armour of spirituality.
With this invincible armour he can face any situation.
If instead of donning this spiritual armour,
he cloaks himself in ignorance,
he will be haunted by fear and anxiety.
As long as rice is covered by husk
it cannot be consumed.
Likewise, man cannot experience true bliss
until he gets rid of the cloak of ignorance.
Man must hence develop the quality of forbearance.
Through forbearance and spiritual practices,
gradually the shackles of tendencies resulting
from past actions can be broken.
