ઉપદેશસરિતા
One should not be merely fatalist, but should be properly diligent to destroy misery.
Through good manliness numerous evil Karmas are annihilated and the way to happiness and prosperity, becomes cleared.
The drum of manliness is sounded in the whole world, and all the scriptures sing the greatness of it (manliness).
Many are wise at the time of happiness, but he who remains wise even in adversity, crosses the ocean of misery and attains the state of the highest happiness. 214-217
