He who doesn’t give respect to his Guru even after receiving the knowledge of the Ekakshar Mantra (the mono syllable ‘OM’) gets a hundred births as a dog and then becomes a pariah in human life.

At the end of the yuga, Mount Meru may be shaken; at the end of the kalpa, the waters of the seven oceans may be disturbed; but a sadhu will never stray from the spiritual path.

One develops an aversion to the temporal world by listening to the sacred tales, by viewing diseased persons, and by visiting the crematorium. If one remains averse to worldly considerations, he is bound to become free from all bondages.

One repents after making a mistake, but if one gets wisdom before making the mistake, then one’s progress cannot be stalled. [Careful deliberation is necessary before taking action.]

He who lives in our heart is near though he may actually be far away; but he who is not in our heart is far though he may really be nearby.

When you expect a favor from someone, speak sweetly. When the hunter spots a deer he sings a sweet song before killing it.

Staying close to the king, fire, the Guru and woman yield disastrous results but staying far away from them do not produce good results either. We must chose the middle position - not too far off, not too near. [Being close can lead to some benefit, but exposes one to danger.]

Fire, water, woman, snake, fool, and members of royal family should be dealt with very carefully because they are very dangerous and when the occasion presents itself, they may cause one's death.
