You may have outstanding physical beauty.
You may have the sparkle of robust youth.
You may be from a high and noble lineage.
You may be a famed scholar.
However, if you lack the virtues that
spiritual discipline can only ensure,
you will be reckoned only as a beautiful flower, with no fragrance.
You must live in accordance with the
prescriptions from the Scriptures and
perform actions with the attitude that is
needed to preserve the status you have
gained as the highest soul amongst animals and living beings.
