When is 'our' worldly interaction considered good? It is…
““When is 'our' worldly interaction considered good? It is from the moment 'we' have become saiyamit (in control of one's mind-body and speech). If there is no saiyam (a state free of anger-pride-deceit-greed, attachment and abhorrence), then worldly interaction cannot be considered as [true] worldly interactions, can they? Even the slightest of asaiyam (lack of control over anger-pride-deceit-greed) means worldly interactions cannot be considered complete.””
