देहवाग्बुद्धिजं धीरा धर्मज्ञाः श्रद्धयान्विताः ।
क्षिपंत्यघं महदपि वेणुगुल्ममिवानलः ॥

- भागवत

kShipanti agham mahadapi veNugulmam iva analaH ॥

- bhAgavata

It is natural that man commits sins by his action – of body, speech and intellect. But there are a few people who are courageous, know Dharma and have faith who can live their life so well that they destroy all those sins – as easily as fire destroys a cluster of bamboo shoots.

तावद्धर्मकथा मनोभवरुचिर्मोक्षस्पृहा जायते
    यावत्तृप्तिसुखोदयेन न जनः क्षुत् क्षामकुक्षिः क्षणम् ।
प्राप्ते भोजनचिंतनस्य समये वित्तं निमित्तं विना
    धर्मे कस्य धियः स्मरं स्मरति कः केनेक्ष्यते मोक्षभूः ॥

Kama(luxuries), stories about dharma and salvation make sense only when one the carnal necessities (hunger) are satisfied. Who can think about dharma when you are hungry and it is lunch (or dinner) time? Who can even think of other luxuries of life? Who can even think about salvation?

चत्वारो धनदायादाः धर्माग्निनृपतस्कराः ।
तेषां ज्येष्ठावमानेन त्रयः कुप्यंति सोदराः ॥

Dharma, fire, king and thieves are brothers. They are the cousins of wealth. If the eldest of the brothers is humiliated (by wealth) then the other three will destroy wealth to take revenge. Ergo: wealth must be spent by never viloating Dharma, the moral code of life.

When you are faced with a calamity, one must not be adamant on following the cleanliness procedures. One must save himself first and only then the Dharma must be followed.
