1. All judgment is determined by rajasic attributes.
2. Men of wisdom are neither deluded nor haunted by the spectre of birth and death. One should, without being inordinately confused by the words of wise men, follow strictly their methods of sadhana.
3. The endless, eternal supreme Self lives equally in all, and never perishes with the body. The ignorant and unrealized allude to it as death.
4. Those who shun all longings, lust and cravings, become devoid of any attachment, passion, ego or personal indications and are therefore able to arrive at the stage of ultimate peace.

5. Dhyana (meditation), jñana (knowledge), tyaga (renunciation), and shanti (peace) are, respectively, like four stages of sadhana (spiritual practice).

   The citta (mind) being pacified and controlled by meditation, it needs to be retained and anchored in divine enthrallment by nothing other than wisdom.

6. Attainment of wisdom gives rise to the death of all desires. In this way, if one is established in meditation, wisdom and renunciation, citta becomes introverted in the sushumna [subtle nerve of peace], demonstrating always a peaceful disposition. The sushumna is none other than a haven of peace. When mind is turned calm and still, the eternal all-pervading chaitanya (consciousness) manifests itself.
7. Chaitanya (chidabhas) is the manifestation of the creator of the universe and thus becomes the inner light of a being. Without this guiding light from within the being does not perceive or see anything. It is the consciousness of your inner Self that gives you the power of seeing. The seen and the seer are intrinsic parts of your indwelling soul.
8. If one performs one’s duty perfectly one derives happiness. The mind has a deep inclination for bliss and joy, and an entrenched aversion to misery and suffering which are the consequences of unrighteous deeds.
9. The performance of duties with unflinching attachment is one of the fundamental reasons that cause worldly bondage. Even some intelligent people often hesitate to untie themselves from the fetters of this kind of attachment and remain imprisoned within their bodies. All roads to ultimate liberation are closed, whether one’s work is righteous or unrighteous, unless one’s sense of body, mind, intellect and ego completely withers away and dies in the infinite essence.
10. Like removing one nail with the help of another nail, the evil propensities can be weeded out by good samskaras (latent tendencies). In every place, once a week, there should be aspiritual congregation or satsanga.
11. Every day do regular svadhyaya (self-study) coupled with meditation and the study of spiritual books and scriptures.
12. For the propagation and proliferation of one’s ideal and sadhana, you should form small spiritual groups.
13. To lead an ascetic life is not child’s play. To become a saint is not a religious spectacle or the exhibition of miracles, it is only for God-realization.
14. In creation everything is governed by a rule. In the external world scientists have discovered rules governing nature. But underneath, hidden very deeply and subtly inside are the rules and canons of the entire universe, the manifested representation of Brahman. By doing yoga and meditation you are able to realize this.
15. Wisdom is not a mere exhibition of one’s dexterity in giving a lecture. The average scholar studies philosophy superficially and searches only the outward meaning. In this light university degrees and honors seem inferior and are almost trivial. True darshan(philosophy) means self-realization.
16. If, through practice, one always trains the mind to stay absorbed in the sushumna, then through this royal path, the divine energy flows, as a result life becomes calm and quiet.
17. Wealth without wisdom cannot give joy.
18. Remember that you are to learn from one and all.
19. It is easy to renounce the family and the world, but difficult to renounce the ego that is so firmly established and so willing to grow. Always be humble and meek.
