Why don't we understand the simple fact that we have to spend the major part

To understand oneself profoundly, one needs balance. Neither renunciation nor acquiescence.
Selfless service alone gives the needed strength and courage to awaken the real you sleeping in your heart.
Internally I am a hermit, and externally I am a prince. Arms mean protection to the poor and destruction of the tyrant. Baba Nanak had not renounced the world but had renounced maya, that is, self and ego.
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
