He should be satisfied with only as much as is hardly necessary for keeping the body and soul together. Even that much of food which yields gratification should not be sought by him. When he fails to get what he wants, he should not cherish discontent. Success, again, in obtaining what he wants, should not elate him. He should never wish for such things as are sought by ordinary men. He should never take his meals at any body's house when respectfully invited thereto. One like him should hate any thing that is presented with honour.
प्राणयात्रिकमात्रः स्यान्मात्रालाभेष्वनादृतः। अलाभे न विहन्येत लाभश्चैनं न हर्षयेत्॥ लाभं साधारणं नेच्छेन्न भुञ्जीताभिपूजितः। अभिपूजितलाभं हि जुगुप्सेतैव तादृशः॥
