Standard of life
Though with time the reality of standard of life has changed .In current time people are known to live a standard life only when they possess enough money to live a luxurious life .But the reality was different in the past.On the top of society there was a space for the learned scholars who were the founders of the civilization .Their works decided the pathway of social progress.All the aspects of life like health,safety, education etc were analyzed by them and they gave their best effort for the betterment of society.Such people made the peer of society.They were so dedicated people for whom luxury meant nothing .The great sages lived in the vicinity of nature because nature was thought to be the best habitat in the viewponit of physical,mental and spiritual growth.They lived an austere life not to give pain to them but to learn toleracy which was helpful for them in adverse conditions of life .The king ,though lived a spectacular life but it was all a splurge ,since childhood they had been taught to live with austerity in the "Gurukul".So when they complete their apprenticeship they come back to rule the kindom .Thier lives were dedicated to the counrty,the citizens and towards God.It was not less than a sacrifice. In the Gita lord Krishna says that a person can become perfect only when he has looked for all moderate activities because it needs be self restraint.One who adheres to moderate path is the "Yogi" and so he is preeminent therefore o Arjun try to be a Yogi (tasmaad yogi bhavarjunah) .
