Deviation from any duty means you have planted there the seed ef incongruity. Evil speedily takes root and spreads, so also incongruity once having flourished, it extends quickly. Hence, we should always be cautious that no where in the grand journey of Equanimity, neglect of duty may creep in.
While there shall be no delusion of possessiveness and camouflage of deception also vanishes, then this heartlayer will be overflowing with the feeling of sacrifice (self dedication) and by renouncing egoism he takes a gigantic (omniscient) status. i. e., on reaching the hignest stage the man will cognise the whole universe as his own, the difference for mine and thine will completely terminate. In that mental state, an honest adherence to one's responsibilities shall become an act of faith and the society will reach such a magnificent stage that from it will flow no other stream except the peaceful effluence of equanimous behaviour. One for all and all for One :
Then in the iife of an individual and society such a development of the philosophy of equanimous life will be perceptible that a strong background of the powerful cooperation of Equanimity will constructed, even higher then the principle of live and let live'-and that will be- 'One for all and all for one'. This means that last drops of the poison of incongruities will also get vanished and the whole society will be bound by the thread of co-operatien and unity for the purpose of individul and moral upliftment.
One for all and all for one is the expression of universal feeling. When every individual considers himself different from the other one, then, they can not become helping
