- Take it for a truth that God exists.
- That the world is nothing else but His own manifestation.
- He is the creator, the sustainer, the destroyer of this world.
- Not an iota of space is devoid of God.
- He is the order of paramount.
- His Divine will be Surpeme.
- But for his will, Earth will crumble to pieces, water will dry up, wind will stop,the sun shall not rise, the moon shall not shine, the rains shall stop, the crops shall not grow; men, animals and creatures all will perish; the world would be no more.
- So with the tongue you have, chant his name, with the ears hear his glory, with the eyes see his manifestations. Waste no time in trfiles. Human body, God's gift is seldom obtained.
- Treat others in the way you wish they should treat you.
- Inflicting poin on others by body, mind and speech is sin. The reverse is merit and goodness.
- Avoid sins if you want happiness and peace of mind.
- Do not draw comparisons between yourself and others. Each gets what he deserves.
- Rejoice at other's happiness.
- Let your life serve as a lesson to others.
- Help the poor, feed the hungry and afford shelter to the homeless. God assumes diverse forms and there is no knowing when and in what form He will appear before you and beg; so do not be harsh to a begger, do not give vent to anger, but remain silent if you are not inclined to give him.
- Do not worry about other's sins, you should mind your ownself and keep it taintless pure.
- Only he suffers who does a wicked act, why should others worry about it?
- Let people slander you, blame you, abuse you, if they will; answer them not, their slander, blame or abuse has bored no holes on your physical body, can inflict no injury on you.
- None can escape its predestined course, howsoever he may take it merrily or grumblingly.
- Neither fast nor overeat, but be temperate in food, drink, etc.
- Dress should be neat and tidy, suited to one's station in life but not guady or foppish.
- Truth is your best friend; it will save you lot of worries; will give you joy and peace of mind; and what is most important to remember is, God ever helps and even serves the truthful.
