Many feel that it is human to err and the Lord should forgive them. In fact, if they are truly human, they should not commit mistakes at all. Should a mistake be committed, it should not be repeated. It is a grievous error to think that it is natural for man to err.
Such a feeling should not be entertained by anyone. To follow the directives of the senses is a mark of the animal. To be guided always by the self is the sign of the human. No one has the right to justify his weakness and lapses as natural to a human being. They can at best be regarded as signs of mental debility. Man must continually strive to master his senses.
Only through the spiritual path can man achieve this. If there is real faith and devotion in a man, the senses will be powerless against him. When you dive deep into a problem and inquire from your heart whether your proposed action is good for your society, your conscience shall give you the right answer.
Man must first decide, after vigorous self-examination, the path that he wishes to traverse. Life should not be spent in just eating.
