Master this worldly life as the five fires of austerity. By doing so, you will attain your own innate peace. Chant the name Narayana, Narayana; make this the constant work of tongue and lips. By this, birth, old age, disease, sin, virtue: all miseries are destroyed. Through enduring heat and cold, forest austerities, posture and samadhi, through penance, pilgrimage, charity, vows and observances, through sacrifice and the disciplines of mind and intellect: the suffering of worldly existence is not escaped, nor the misery of birth, aging, disease and death. Endure lust, anger and pride, and through these hermitage-disciplines, realize the Imperishable. But the pride of memorized learning breeds prohibitions and their shadows. Debate leads to slander and sin, and these will set like vajra-cement, impossible to remove. Fault-finding at its root is nothing but pride wearing an ornament. Says Tuka, abandon this false anxiety. Surrender completely to the saints and abide in whatever state life brings.
