something dearer than a wife. There is something dearer than Prana (Life). That something is thy
Self, Inner ruler, Immortal and All-Merciful Lord.
Be kind and compassionate. Be pure and gentle. Be sweet and loving. Be humble. Be
sympathetic. Be friendly to the poor. Live with them. Serve them. Cheer them up when they are in
difficulties. Be simple in your life. Behold the Self in all. Give up the idea of diversity. Have equal
vision for all.
Do not use harsh words. Do not exploit others. Do not waste your energy in idle talking and
worldly gossiping. Renounce all attachments.
