I feel sick and disgusted when you quarrel with others

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

Do not bark at people

 

 

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

If anyone talks ten words to us, let us answer with one word

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.

If another gets fortune or power

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?

When that man attains prosperity

When that man attains prosperity, what loss have we really suffered? But people do not consider this point.

You must always adhere to truth and fulfill all the promises you make

You must always adhere to truth and fulfill all the promises you make. Have faith and patience. Then I will be always with you wherever you are.

Clouds and Sun keep on their happy course in all directions

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.

Remember, whatever actions you do

Remember, whatever actions you do, the corresponding qualities will develop and will remain part of you.

Perform your duties always

 

 

Perform your duties always, never hold the vanity of doer,  

Believe always that God is the doer,and offer the results to God always.  

Then the deed will not bound you and danger of births will not hinder you.

Who sows surely reaps it's fruits

 

 

Who sows surely reaps it's fruits, why should other suffer with anxiety?  

In field of action the body disintegrates, so never waste time in leisure.
