There are challenges we face in our own lives
when emotions collide with our life's duty.
Yet, we should remain constant in our duty,
even if it means going against our own.
Righteousness, responsibility, and moral obligation,
are the ways that reflect cosmic order.
Each are assigned with certain duties,
determined by what they do in life.
Life often leads to situations,
in which principle and destiny,
seem to be in conflict always,
leaving us in a condition of moral confusion.
Duty transcends personal relationships;
family affection and respect are important,
but this cannot interfere our responsibilities,
from raising our voice against injustice.
The Greater Good Must Prevail,
The supreme teaches us to go above all.
In any authority or ethical situations,
The outcome must be on justice and harmony.
Acting without selfish motives or personal gain,
if one's duty requires them to take a firm stance
they must do so without expecting any outcome.
Ancestors were forced to act, in order to achieve justice.
Inner quarrels are the true battle, than the outer ones,
It is a struggle between duty and attachments,
between righteousness and emotions.
Living as per principle means facing them with courage and clarity.
