We frequently hear people talking a lot about duties and responsibilities, which, I know, they themselves have not been very careful about. Here I want to say that life is not a jungle of duties and responsibilities. If we just exhaust our lives in fulfilling duties towards others, then how can we manifest our own nature? If we cannot manifest ourselves, our life goes in vein. Having a sense of priority is of paramount importance in this respect. We must develop the ability to look at things from a higher perspective, to ascertain what to do when, what comes first and what comes later.
It is sufficient to make our lives a success if we have faith in ourselves. We must not pretend. We must not ever try to be someone else. Life is not mimicry. We must know and understand our own selves and thus prepare ourselves to face all the externalities.
Sense of duty and responsibility comes from within. It can never, never be imposed from outside by anyone.
