1. Person’s lifespan, occupation, wealth, education and the death time are determined while one is in the womb.
2. Children, acquaintances, and relatives try to remain at a distance from a devotee of the Lord: yet those who follow him bring value to their families through their devotion.
3. Fishes, tortoises, and birds bring up their children or younger once by means of sight, attention and touch similarly saintly men protect their acquaintances.
4. When your body is healthy, under control and death is far, try to save your soul because when death is near than you cannot do anything.
5. Learning is like a cow of desire that give output in all the seasons. It feeds you, like a mother feeds you on the journey of your life. Therefore, learning is a secret treasure.
6. One son accompanied with good qualities is far better than a hundred of them lacking those qualities. He can be compared to the moon that can take away the darkness whereas numerous stars cannot.
7. A son who died at the time of birth is better than a foolish son with a long life. The son who died at the time of the birth gives sadness for a time being while the foolish son is like a blazing fire that burn his parents in grief for the lifetime.
8. Dwelling in a small village without adequate living facilities, serving a person born in a low family, unhealthy food, a brooding wife, a stupid son, and a widowed daughter burns the body of the person without fire.
9. A cow that neither gives milk nor conceives is worthless; similarly a son who is neither learned nor a pure devotee of the Lord is insignificant.
10. When a man is filled with the sorrows of life, three things that are children, a wife, and the company of the lord's devotees can give him relief.

13. She is a true wife who is pure, clean, expert, truthful, & pleasing to the husband.
14. The house without a child is void, all the directions are void for the person who has no relatives, fool’s heart is also void, but for a poor person all the above is void.
15. If scriptural lessons are not being practiced than they are like a poison; a food is poison for the person who suffers from indigestion; a social gathering is a poison for a poor person; and an aged man whose wife is younger to him is poison for him.
16. That man who is without mercy and a religion should be discarded. A teacher without spiritual knowledge should be rejected. The wife with an unpleasant face should be given up, and so should relatives who are without affection.... Read More
