By his devoted service to his mother and father, Dharmavyadha won eternal fame. Through consistent adherence to truth, Rama and Harischandra made themselves immortal. By means of right conduct, mere men rose to the position of great sages (maha-purushas). Buddha desisted from harm to living beings. He spoke of nonviolence (ahimsa) as "the highest morality (paramo dharmah)". So he was revered as a world teacher. The mind is the foremost of the three inner instruments in man (thri-karanas). We must protect the mind so that attachment, passion, and excitement do not enter. These extremes are natural to the mind. The waves that rise in fury in it are the six inner foes of man: lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride, and envy. The first two bring the remaining four in their trail. To release ourselves from the first two and thus proceed on the spiritual path, we have to practise spiritual discipline. We learn these practices through spiritual learning (vidya).
