In this regard, the following moral instruction by the great politician Cāṇakya Paṇḍita is very meaningful:

tyaja durjana-saṁsargaṁ

bhaja sādhu-samāgamam

kuru puṇyam aho rātraṁ

smara nityam anityatām

One should always act piously, thinking that this life is temporary, and not be attached to temporary happiness and distress.
