Defect in one's limb ruins a man.

Trees on a riverbank, a woman in another man's house, and kings without counselors go without doubt to swift destruction.

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

One who is in search of knowledge should give up the search of pleasure and the one who is in search of pleasure should give up the search of knowledge.

When one is consumed by the sorrows of life, three things give him relief: offspring, a wife, and the company of the Lord's devotees.

Eschew wicked company and associate with saintly persons. Acquire virtue day and night, and always meditate on that which is eternal forgetting that which is temporary.

By means of hearing one understands dharma, malignity vanishes, knowledge is acquired, and liberation from material bondage is gained.
