Lord Dattatreya replied - "O Sankyti! I am going to describe the method of purifying the nerve in a succinct way. One should very first do all activities prescribed by the sastras and the prevalent law of the country considering his pious duty to perform then. He should give up the desire as also the resolution to have to yield of favourable results. (The Rsi herein wants to refer that a man has sometimes decide some reverse way unmatching with the worldly outlook in which nothing is expected as a favourable result. In case, if he hankers for the fruit, the activity of much importance will not be made by him thereby causing direct or indirect detriment to the interest of the society as a whole.)
