So Near Yet So Far

You are too far from becoming a great successful one or more,
in case of lacking in pursuing noteworthy things and being out of practice,
even though among thousands of the learned and readable books or more.
Needless to say that the one who doesn't practise what he preaches is the one who is so near to it and yet so far from the high standard of living we, people, should pay due attention to.
If so,
Why don't we be the ideal ones
Abstaining from all evil,
Performing all good,
And purifying the mind.
