THE WAY OF LIFE
should not do anything on account of which people may despise you or deride you.
If you establish cordial relations with the people among whom you live and if you maintain such relations you can carry out fearlessly your endeavours relating to dharma (spiritual elevation) Artha (the acquisition of wealth) and Kama (the fulfilment of worldly desires). My auspicious aspirations for you are that you should live with a sense of discretion and propriety; and that you should experience felicity in your life as Grihasthas.
This is enough for to-day.
