But does not that include righteousness in the affairs of our popular government? Does it not involve uprightness in public life? It seems to me that the Master took a considerable part in public affairs. Did he not even scourge the money-changers from the Temple?

It was however possible to resist temptation, to cling to the side of right, to defy and overcome the deltas. Man might maintain his uprightness, walk in the path of duty, and by the help of the asuras, or "good spirits," attain to a blissful paradise.
"Not I, honest man," said I. "I carry no arms; a man conscious of his innocence and uprightness of heart needs not to carry arms in his defence now."

One day, her father called her to him, and said, "Come, Alice, and tell me which color I shall use to ornament the border of your box blue or green?" "Just which you please, Father."
