The earth bears seeds. Clouds rain on them.

The earth bears seeds. Clouds rain on them. The sun sends his rays, and makes them sprout. When these sprout earth, clouds and sun keep on their happy course in all directions. They neither exult at the growth nor deject at the destruction of the sprouts. You should be unaffected like these. If you are, when can sorrow come to you? Mukti (or liberation) is this absence of sorrow.

If another gets fortune or power, we cannot put up with it; we scandalize him. When he meets with a loss, we rejoice. But is this good?

If anyone talks ten words to us,

If anyone talks ten words to us, let us answer with one word, if we reply at all. Do not battle with any ... Who is whose enemy? Do not say of anyone that he is your enemy. All are one and the same.

We should never kill it (a snake)

We should never kill it (a snake). Because it will never kill us unless it is ordered to do so by god. If god has so ordered it, we cannot avoid it.

If anyone begs anything of you

If anyone begs anything of you, if you can grant the request or get it granted, do so, Don’t say ‘No’. If you have nothing to give, give a suave ‘no’; do not get angry with him.

If others hate us, let us take to nama japa and avoid them

If others hate us, let us take to nama japa and avoid them (those who hurt us) ... Do not bark at people; do not be pugnacious. Bear with other’s reproach

When one talks ill of you

When one talks ill of you, pass on unperturbed. His words cannot pierce your body. Others acts will affect them only and not you

When you quarrel with others

I feel sick and disgusted when you quarrel with others ... Do not fight with any; nor scandalise any.

If anybody comes and abuses you or punishes

If anybody comes and abuses you or punishes you, do not quarrel with him. If you cannot endure it, speak a simple word or two, or else leave the place.
