If there were no people who are as forgiving as the earth, there would be no peace among humans, only constant conflict caused by anger.

However, anger has been given to humans for the destruction of the world.

One who has withdrawn all their senses into the Self, and who has not caused pain to any creature except as permitted by the scriptures, conducts themselves in this way throughout their life. They reach the World of Brahman after death and do not return.

Because you desired wisdom above all else, and did not ask for victory over your enemies, or riches, or long life, I will give you not only the wisdom you asked for to rule my people righteously, but also the things you did not ask for: riches, wealth, and glory, so that there will be no king like you before or after you.

Knowledge is what moves towards unity, and when it reaches the supramental level, it grasps the oneness, essence, and self-law of existence, and views and handles the many things from that light and fullness, somewhat like the Divine does from the highest point from which He embraces the world.

This world is an illusion of colors and sounds, a false display created by the tricks of Maya, the mind, and the senses.

Time is more precious than money, and more valuable than anything in the world. It's the greatest treasure, the essence of life. Use time wisely for spiritual growth, and don't waste a single moment.

You have been born in this world as a human being to worship God, so try to cultivate love for his divine presence.

As Christ said, "Be in the world, but not part of it."

Whatever a great person does, ordinary people follow that. Whatever standard such a one sets, the world follows in its wake.

The jnani lets go of his identification with worldly things, distinguishing 'not this, not this'.

Agriculture, cattle-keeping, and trade are the natural duties of a vaishya; and for the shudra, the natural duty is one of service to others.

The duties of brahmanas, kshatriyas, vaishyas, and shudras, O scorcher of foes, are distributed according to the qualities that arise from their innate nature.

The river of life (or the world) is terrible.

The desire to live among people is like a binding cord.

Without giving up worldly attachments, one can never achieve true happiness. Without renunciation, one can never attain their highest good or find peace.

Punishment, O king, quickly sets the world on the path of righteousness. Righteousness exists in the Brahmanas, based on truth.

Vasudeva is the great Master of all the worlds, the Lord of all, and Eternal!

Forgiveness is a virtue of the weak and an ornament of the strong. Forgiveness conquers all in this world; what is it that forgiveness cannot accomplish?

Conquer your mind and you shall conquer the whole world.
