The world is a drama, staged in a dream

Be the wisdom your support. Be the compassion your guide and listen to the Divine Music that beats in every heart.

The world is a drama, staged in a dream

Make of the Silence your to-do tasks, of the compassion your wealth and of the meditation your beggar's bowl.

Whatever be the qualities of the man with whom a woman is united according to the law, such qualities even she assumes, like a river, united with the ocean.

Offspring, the due performance on religious rites, faithful service, highest conjugal happiness and heavenly bliss for the ancestors and oneself, depend on one's wife alone.

Even kings and emperors, with mountains of property and oceans of wealth - these are not even equal to an ant, who does not forget God.
