The Cambridge University Hindu Cultural Society has a nice post about finding one’s place in the world:

The tiger must hunt, the nightingale must sing, the cow must yield. Similarly, there are tigers among men, nightingales among men, cows among men. We must act according to our dharma if we are to have peace in this life. In the words of the Shakesperian character, Polonius, ‘ This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.’

Often when working in IT departments the security professional is tugged away to perform other duties. The draw of performance issues and service delivery is so strong it can be difficult to remember that in order to have peace we must remain true. Security is a separate and distinct dharma.
