Individuality and reserve could be felt as misanthropy, either by yourself or someone else. "Just give me my space." Yet "Indians making camp" are ourselves when we realize we have to depend on one another in group activity, even if we want to avoid it, and the lonely Howard Hughes was dependent on his phone calls and business or financial contacts to sustain his richly lonesome lifestyle. "Making camp" means we extemporize from within the immediate need or opportunity of each situation.
"A sculptor" immortalizes some facet of life by putting it into stone. We want to make or do something which is lasting. Therefore we need, as basis, adequate orientation, such as "three mounds of knowledge on a philosopher's head." There is therapy in contemplating the things we desire, and there is strength in seeing realistically, through knowledge, how to approach or invite them.
We balance mental and physical force in order to attain mastery. This is a yogic process, outlined super-brilliantly by Sri Aurobindo in his Synthesis of Yoga. Conquering things spiritual requires self-government (rather than governing others as politicians are trying to do). Being a man or woman of weight and consequence is like being commemorated by "an obelisk," that is, through many trials, while living among the people, developing something of lasting value which at last comes to be known and appreciated.
