With new energy, he completes his duty without expecting results. But at the same time very few people have such thirst for life. Srimadbhagwadgita certifies it-

Manushyanam sahastreshu kashchid yatati siddhaye I
Yatatamapi siddhanam kashchinmam veti tatvatah II (7/3)

Out of lakhs of people, someone acknowledges that the life is valuable. It's sin to lead life purposelessly. He proceeds on the path of spiritualism. He has to face obstacle while keeping alert. Only alert persons can attain spiritualism in their life. He acknowledges the obstacle very easily. He has to practise alertness. Now question arises that what's the yardstick to know someone moves on the path of spiritualism and he has found the way of life. There is only one way-behaviour. The people's behaviour indicates about his spiritual prosperity. His every behaviour reflects his purity. His every effort gives new direction in the entire atmosphere. His duty indicates totality of his life.  Veda knowledge 'sven kratuna samvadeta' exactly fits into his life. According to the religious scripture, his life will be something like this:

Abiding religions of Maharshi Manu

Maharshi Manu described 10 characteristics of religion-

Dhulikshamadamoasteyam 
shauchamindriyanigrahah I
Dhirvidyasatyamakrodho dashakam 
dharmalakshanam II

The 10 characteristics of religion- ghriti, forgiveness, will power, vitality, shauch, having no longing, patience, education, truth, peace-  become his objectives. He remains alert for fulfilling that objectives. He provides divine perspective to everyone. 

Sthit pragya of Gita

In Srimadbhagwadgita, Arjuna asked that oh Keshav! Whose pragya is atharva, means stable and how is his behaviour? Because, it's behaviour which is the source of inspiration for others. What type of achievement of this sthit pragya? The reason behind Arjuna asking this question from Keshava is to know the behaviour of enlightened persons. In the third chapter of Gita, the character of the great persons has been described.

Yadyadacharati shreshthastatadevetaro janah I
Sa yatpramanam kurute lokastadanuvartate II

Defining character and behaviour of enlightened persons, Krishna asks Arjuna that he remains alert, he has no longing, he concentrates on a particular thing, he remains the same whether it's sorrow or happiness and he listens to his mind. 
The yardstick of spiritualism is the behaviour according to religious scriptures. Param Pujya Swami Jee tells about perspective and achievement. He says that your perspective gets success, if you assimilate it in your behaviour and character. It's called knowledge. There is a misconception on the path of spiritualism that we start considering ourselves as seeker by limiting our knowledge to the thoughts. 

The conclusion is that you should not waist precious moments of life in the struggle of thoughts. Param Pujya Swami Jee hints at three truths- to know, to awaken, to live. Then if you knew something and awakened somebody and failed to know how to live, then the effort would go in vain. Therefore, we should know our strength honestly with patience and alertness and awaken it. We should make all out efforts to realise it.
