Those base men who speak of the secret faults of others destroy themselves like serpents that stray onto anthills.

Even a captured enemy is not to be trusted.

The biggest guru-mantra is: never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.

Rain which falls upon the sea is useless; so is food for one who is satiated; in vain is a gift for one who is wealthy; and a burning lamp during the daytime is useless.

He who wears unclean garments, has dirty teeth, is a glutton, speaks unkindly and sleeps after sunrise - although he may be the greatest personality - will lose the favour of Lakshmi.

We should not feel pride in our charity, austerity, valour, scriptural knowledge, modestyandmorality for the world is full of the rarest gems.

No one should ever be disrespected.
