that is not given to you by the outside, and is not an idea -

and disidentify yourself from it.

greatest revolution that can happen to man.
Now you can do and act on only that
which makes you more joyous, fulfills you,
gives you contentment, makes your life a work of art, a beauty.
But this is possible only if the master in you is awake.

- the movie Withnail & I

To enjoy good health,
to bring true happiness to one's family,
