“There are two paths—one leading Godward, the other leading to worldly pleasure.
He who follows one inevitably goes away from the other; because, like light and darkness, they conflict.
One leads to the imperishable spiritual realm; the other to the perishable physical realm.
Both confront a man at every step of life.
The discerning man distinguishing between the two, chooses the Real and Eternal, and he alone attains the highest, while the ignorant man, preferring that which brings him immediate and tangible results, misses the true purpose of his existence.”
~ Katha Upanishad 2.4
