Your innate potentialities when they bloom out and flourish, can elevate you to the level of demons and deities in respect of the ability to achieve your objectives. Do not forget the great truth that success surrenders itself at the feet of a man who makes a determined effort to achieve his objectives. Only an unchiselled man falls into a state of backwardness, despondency, poverty and affliction.

If human beings put forth the same kind of determined efforts to achieve their objectives relating to Dharma, Artha and Kama, to eradicate their mental and spiritual maladies and afflictions and to destroy their Karmas, there is no reason why they cannot achieve spiritual elevation and purification.
Spiritual welfare is the loftiest aim of human life. You can achieve spiritual welfare or spiritual purification only by pursuing the Dharmapurushartha but who remembers the soul ?

He keeps wandering aim
