If desires are not uprooted, sorrows grow again in you.
You, as much as anyone in the universe, deserve your love and respect.
Like the mother of the world, touch each being as your beloved child.
To keep the body in good health is a duty, for otherwise we shall not be able to trim the lamp of wisdom, and keep our mind strong and clear.
There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.
When one, abandoning greed, feels no greed for what would merit greed, greed gets shed from him - like a drop of water from a lotus leaf.
