One’s own prescribed occupational duty: Renunciation and Surrender

It is better to do one's own duty, however defective it may be, than to follow the duty of another, however well one may perform it. He who does his duty as his own nature reveals it, never commits a sin.

— Shri Purohit Swami (1935), public domain
