There are four F's that you will have to fix before your attention. (1) Follow the Master, (2) Face the Devil, (3) Fight to the End and (4) Finish at the Goal. Follow the Master means, observe Dharma (Right Conduct). Face the Devil means, overcome the temptations that beset you when you try to earn Artha (wealth or the wherewithal to live in comfort). Fight to the End means, struggle ceaselessly; wage war against the six enemies that are led by kaama (lust). And, finally, Finish at the Goal means; do not stop until the goal of Moksha (Liberation from ignorance and delusion) is reached. The F's are fundamental for the pursuit of the four Purushaarthas (goals of man) - Dharma, Artha, Kaama and Moksha (Right Conduct, Wealth, Desire and Liberation).
- Divine Discourse, July 6, 1975.
