It is important to understand that the teachings are guidelines and not to be taken to extremes, though they are to be intensified to the capacity of the practitioner. So it MUST be followed to the extent possible and not to an extent that produces imbalance of body or mind. This is keeping the balance of Maat in daily living that maintains balance in the personality and eventually neutralizes the ups and downs of life along with the delusions about spiritual life and delusions about worldly suffering and death so as to go beyond the delusions of duality and discover the goal of wisdom.
