In this world, success is only for those who save themselves from evil, who are able to differentiate between right and wrong, who know that, in this world of God, they have to lead a life of modesty rather than a life of arrogance. They have to know that for them the right way is to lead a life governed by moral principle rather than a life of permissiveness. Here a person has to lead his life within the limits of morality. He cannot lead an unbounded life like the animals of the jungle. In this world, moral restraint is as essential as abstinence from those fruits which are not good for health.
