"Better one's own dharma, though imperfectly performed, than the dharma of another well performed. Better to die in one's own dharma; the dharma of another is fraught with peril."
Modern explanation
In the middle of the day, return to this: An imperfect life that is truly yours beats a polished life borrowed from someone else.
Practical application
Audit the last three hours: which task most belonged to you? Do more of that.
Reflection question
What would change if I treated this ordinary work as sacred?
