A family is a place where minds come in contact with one another. If these minds love one another the home will be as beautiful as a flower garden. But if these minds get out of harmony with one another it is like a storm that plays havoc with the garden.
Those who educate children well are to be honoured more than parents, for parents only gave life, and teachers, the art of living well.
No work stains an individual who is pure, who is in harmony, who is master of his life, whose soul is one with the soul of all.
Those who are ignorant of the supreme purpose of life will never be able to attain nirvana (liberation) in spite of their observance of the vratas (vows) and niyamas (rules) of religious conduct and practice of shila (celibacy) and tapas (penance).
