Don't construct a hermitage. Don't have attachment to that having constructed. Don't become a chief of a hermitage. Do everything but with a detached mind. Don't link your ego with the hermitage.

Don't work for recognition from people. Don't feel the pride of recognition. Don't lose the path of devotion. Do have a detached mind always. Don't crave for recognition.

Do meditate. The spirit is beyond the reach of the mind and the intellect. There is darkness without intellect. Let us disregard what is being perceived. Don't go about without perception. Don't project yourself as an intellectual. What is there if there is no intellect. We should not see logically what is beyond logic. Still what is there without logic. Don't always wander in the forest of memories. It is not good to be unable to recollect something. Don't do discussions. How things can be resolved without discussions. Let us see the world beyond divisions. Still there are some glaring divisions. Never distract from the path of good action. Don't indulge in unbridled expectations. Don't work without conscience. Don't anyhow disturb the composure of mind. Don't write without sense. Don't do away with writing. Don't read without sense. Don't do away with reading. Don't skip talking to people. Don't start conflicts on being asked a question. Don't get tired of people. He who abides by this teachings becomes an abode of happiness. He suddenly becomes a leader.
A person cannot acquire beauty like sharp features etc. through efforts. These parameters are set at the time of the birth and cannot be changed. But there are other parameters that can be changed. A dark person cannot become fair. There is no remedy for marks left on the body by small pox. A dumb person cannot speak. These are said to be the natural parameters. A blind cannot see. A deaf cannot hear. A handicapped person cannot do anything for the organ that is not there. The list of deformities for which there is no remedy can be very long. But there are some parameters that can be set right by any person. A person can shun the bad qualities. He can acquire good qualities. The wrong methods of living should be shunned. The right methods of living should be practised. If shown the exit route, foolishness can go. One can develop the style of analytical thinking. One can understand any work in the course of doing it. One likes to get recognition. Then why should he neglect learning. A person who is not intelligent cannot rise to a higher position. We should do good to us having understood this point. He who follows path of goodness is liked by good people.
Someone has beautified his body. This is not of any use if he does not have the intelligence. He is doing something that does not have the underlying fundamentals. He should beautify his mind and intellect in various ways instead. He should create a resource base for his mind and intellect every bit by bit. He who does not make any efforts, does not learn, does not put any strain on his body, is not able to learn any good qualities and he runs a short temperament.
Whatever we do to others, we are at the same time doing it to us on credit basis. The very same thing that we have done to others will happen to us in the future. If we are putting others to trouble then we will be put to trouble in the future. He is intelligent who understands the principles of equity. He who is not judicious is miserable. The various marks of intelligence are recognised by the one who is intelligent. The actions that are liked by many are recognised by many. Other actions go waste. The world hates such useless actions. It is we who decide how people will react to us. Whether they will be satisfied with us or they will be angry with us. If we are satisfied with someone then he is also satisfied. If we are friendly to someone then he is also friendly to us. Whatever good has come into existence through consistent efforts can cease to exist in one shot. Kindness begets kindness. Hostility begets hostility. Why should we act without purpose knowing all this? Clothing decorates the exterior while intelligence decorates the interior. You have to decide which one is better.
What is the outcome tell me by beautifying the exterior? Intelligence has protected people in a number of ways. One should have good meals, good clothing and one should be recognised by all, this is what one wants. He who wears out his mind and body gains recognition from people. Those who think of other means of getting recognition will feel sad in the future. He who completes the work of people that has stuck somewhere becomes a source of attraction for people. All people will come to him for the sake of their work. Therefore he who makes others happy becomes happy. He who is putting others to hardships will undergo hardships. This is clearly visible. He who does not see this, cannot understand the truth. Therefore everyone should understand this. Those who have understood this and acted accordingly have become great. The rest of all are useless.
The wealth of a person is proportional to the systematic activity that he undertakes. As the wealth rises, the interaction with people also rises. We should understand the things that are very clear. If one is lethargic then he cannot complete any work and whatever work he has done is wasted. He who works meticulously completes his work. He who cannot understand this simple fact cannot be called a sane person. If the atmosphere is of friendliness then the work is accomplished. If the atmosphere is of enmity then the work gets sabotaged. Whatever has been said tell me whether it is true or false. He who is not taking any efforts to become wise is not doing any benefit to himself. He is not friendly to people and is hostile to all. He who behaves like this should be called as an ignorant. Who can gain satisfaction in company of such persons. He is all alone and is fighting against the world. How can a lonely person be successful against many. One should occupy a place in the mind of people and in their discussions. One should display good qualities while having interaction with the people. One should enlighten the people. One should work for the upliftment of the downtrodden. One should contribute to cause a rise in devotion to God.
The eternal spirit is residing in all. The spirit that occupies a body is an expert in being weak. It knows the things that are happening around and also develops perception about the things. The nature is strange in many respects. Someone gets something after a lot of efforts. Others get the same thing without taking any efforts. We should experience everything and should understand what is good. Let us be one with others. Let us explore the eternal spirit. Similarly our mind should be attentive to others concerns. We can see that our mind is not that attentive. Now we think about something, then about the other thing and this goes on. If we are adamant then the work is sabotaged. What we need to have is experience.
We dont understand the mind of others. We cannot experience the feelings of others. We dont know how to influence the people. People dont act intelligently. They try to affect others by the means of the demonic magic. Such people are lacking on many counts. They should understand that the eternal spirit is all pervading. On whom should the demonic magic work. He is great who works on the basis of his conscience. Those who are great they do something great. Those who are petty they just pretend to do something. The people can be identified as good or bad only on the basis of their action. The King follows the royal path. The thieves have their secret paths. He who is foolish does harm to himself by being very selfish. A fool thinks that he is very intelligent. The fact is that he is miserably foolish. One who is intelligent understands different signs of intelligence. He who merges his identity with the eternal spirit becomes an eternal spirit. Now he is lacking in what. Intelligence is a divine gift. A person without intellect is useless. He goes begging even when he is a King.
Whatever may come to our mind, our mind develops a liking for that. In the course of time the ego rises and we are chained to what we like. Everyone says that he himself is great. Everyone says that he himself is good looking. Everyone says that he himself is intelligent. Everyone says that whatever he has said about himself that has been said having the whole world in mind. This is how people think. No one says that he is on the minus side as compared to others. Those who have knowledge really have a good perspective of vision. People develop ego on the basis of their perception. This should not happen. They should have conscience. One should not be proud of a worthless thing. One should not get distracted from the truth. The one who does exactly opposite to this is a fool. He who has ego in relation to the truth does not have any ego at all. An ability to justify can never be compared to a disability to justify. You can only justify something that exists for certain. Disability to justify means that the basis of your jusification is gone. How can a very pertinent thing be same as a very irrelevant thing. Those who are honest don't have fear in mind. Those who are thieves always run here and there. Someone is very effective in preaching while someone speaks just for the sake of speaking. Whatever we do without proper thinking will make us feel tired. We should search for someone who has developed a good power of discrimination.
There may be a lot of common people but a man of vision exercises control over all of them. Common people cannot cause any harm to him. Thatswhy you should get close to the men of vision. Those who don't have any vision wander here and there. Dont tell everyone about your relations with the men of vision. One who wins over the heart of people in power can attract lot of people. He is held in esteem by common as well as good people. Expand your contacts through networking. Influence intellectuals by your intelligent thinking. You should put stumbling blocks in the path of wrong doers. This you should do while observing the tenets of equity. One should have a simple appearance. One should have a mind capable of dealing with complications. One should never deviate from the cause of people. One should have a detached and innovative lifestyle. A good fellow who can live like this is rare in this world. One should read a lot. One should soothe the syche of people. Then he should occupy the mind of all with dynamism. One who sits at one place cannot do anything. So one should be attentive and one should meet people. One who maintains contact with people is showing the signs of cleverness. He who has the aforesaid qualities has a satisfied mind.
Someone has a habbit of listening to others. He always forms his opinion on the basis of what others say. He ultimately becomes a victim of his baseless opinion. We should listen a lot from a lot of people. We should also verify what others say at the level of our experience before taking any point of view.
Dont say no to anyone. One should understand the plus and minus of what he says. Do speak with some purpose in your mind. Dont speak for the sake of speaking. There are some people who are stubborn and useless. Still one should listen to what they say. This is how we should please the minds of many. If someone develops a twist in his mind then he nourishes that twist for a long time. Therefore those who are intelligent should not cause any twists in the minds of others. He who makes foolish people wise leads a worthy life. He who escalates the attrition is foolish. We should reach the mind of others. We should accept our defeat at times and turn the tables at an appropiate time. We should do all this with conscience and no one should know anything about it. Let us behave like others. Let us talk like others. Let us agree to others point of view. He who works for general good does not do anything bad. He maintains contacts with people. He tries to understand their mind and then he analyses further. He uses different means for reaching out to people. Where a stubborn meets a stubborn there is a disorder. If there is ill-will then there is no scope for intelligence. It is very easy to talk a lot but it is very difficult to execute. It is really very difficult to get over others mind.
Do bear the blows and slaps. Do bear the harsh and evil words. People who offend you will come back to you on feeling remorseful. You should speak after understanding the circumstances. You should not make out to others that you are intelligent. We should be humble whereever we go. We should see the houses in the villages and the cities. We should evaluate all people whether great or not great under the guise of asking for alms. You will find something of substance if you meet a lot of people. You may establish friendship with some great people. If you sit idle then nothing happens. So keep moving. One should be attentive at everything. One should understand the prevailing conditions before going to some place. Wherever one may go, one should keep one's conscience. One should read and recite a lot of things. One should do everything to soothe the minds of people. He who offers something that the people ask for is a great person and he is recognised by everyone. A person who is recognised by all is not a common person. Many people abide by what he says. These are the signs of cleverness. One who is clever is not lacking in anything whereever one goes.
People are greedy. The first word that they say is "Dev". "Dev" is a marathi word for God. "Dev" also means "give" in marathi. When people say "Dev" they mean to say "Give Something". This is what they crave for. People are zero on the front of devotion. Still they long for happiness. This is like asking for the payment from the employer without doing any work. There can be no good results without hard work. There can be no kingdom without the hardwork done by the King. You cannot get anything without hard work. He who is lethargic cannot get any result of his work. Those who are of low stature, they just shirk hard work. Those who undergo the pains of hard work at the begining reap the fruits of happiness later. Those who take pleasure in leisure at the begining become sad at the end. Whether it is the material world or the spiritual world what is required is conscience. One should understand the benefits of long term planning. He who spends everything that he earns cannot sustain in the difficult times. They are wise who have a perspective for a long term. Whether it be a spiritual world or a material world, there is a great significance of accumulation of merit. He who does harm to himself is no better than a person committing suicide.
Our mind is restless. It is changing its state every moment. If we try to calculate the total time lost due to restlessness of mind then that will be a very difficult calculation. What people say is that the God does everything. We can realise the God. God can be realised by someone only on the basis of conscience. We can identify conscience among people by making search. God is one but there are many differentiations that are visible. The differentiation is so glaring that we cannot say that it is not there. One should understand the God and also the divine action. People talk about this subject without knowing anything. They speak without sense and make out as if they are very intelligent. They should do something to quench their thirst. Those who have made tremendous efforts have enjoyed good fortune. Others are just babbling. A useless person cannot understand the good qualities of a good person. The intelligent ones understand the foolishness of fools. He who has a mind full of bad methods, how can he understand any good method. He considers bad things as good. He who loses purity of mind can do no good to himself. He is a big zero on the front of intelligent thinking. Only good intelligent thinking helps in the material and spiritual world. Only on the basis of good intelligent thinking we can understand what exists forever and what is for a while.

What is the outcome tell me by beautifying the exterior? Intelligence has protected people in a number of ways. One should have good meals, good clothing and one should be recognised by all, this is what one wants. He who wears out his mind and body gains recognition from people. Those who think of other means of getting recognition will feel sad in the future. He who completes the work of people that has stuck somewhere becomes a source of attraction for people. All people will come to him for the sake of their work. Therefore he who makes others happy becomes happy. He who is putting others to hardships will undergo hardships. This is clearly visible. He who does not see this, cannot understand the truth. Therefore everyone should understand this. Those who have understood this and acted accordingly have become great. The rest of all are useless.
The wealth of a person is proportional to the systematic activity that he undertakes. As the wealth rises, the interaction with people also rises. We should understand the things that are very clear. If one is lethargic then he cannot complete any work and whatever work he has done is wasted. He who works meticulously completes his work. He who cannot understand this simple fact cannot be called a sane person. If the atmosphere is of friendliness then the work is accomplished. If the atmosphere is of enmity then the work gets sabotaged. Whatever has been said tell me whether it is true or false. He who is not taking any efforts to become wise is not doing any benefit to himself. He is not friendly to people and is hostile to all. He who behaves like this should be called as an ignorant. Who can gain satisfaction in company of such persons. He is all alone and is fighting against the world. How can a lonely person be successful against many. One should occupy a place in the mind of people and in their discussions. One should display good qualities while having interaction with the people. One should enlighten the people. One should work for the upliftment of the downtrodden. One should contribute to cause a rise in devotion to God.
The eternal spirit is residing in all. The spirit that occupies a body is an expert in being weak. It knows the things that are happening around and also develops perception about the things. The nature is strange in many respects. Someone gets something after a lot of efforts. Others get the same thing without taking any efforts. We should experience everything and should understand what is good. Let us be one with others. Let us explore the eternal spirit. Similarly our mind should be attentive to others concerns. We can see that our mind is not that attentive. Now we think about something, then about the other thing and this goes on. If we are adamant then the work is sabotaged. What we need to have is experience.
We dont understand the mind of others. We cannot experience the feelings of others. We dont know how to influence the people. People dont act intelligently. They try to affect others by the means of the demonic magic. Such people are lacking on many counts. They should understand that the eternal spirit is all pervading. On whom should the demonic magic work. He is great who works on the basis of his conscience. Those who are great they do something great. Those who are petty they just pretend to do something. The people can be identified as good or bad only on the basis of their action. The King follows the royal path. The thieves have their secret paths. He who is foolish does harm to himself by being very selfish. A fool thinks that he is very intelligent. The fact is that he is miserably foolish. One who is intelligent understands different signs of intelligence. He who merges his identity with the eternal spirit becomes an eternal spirit. Now he is lacking in what. Intelligence is a divine gift. A person without intellect is useless. He goes begging even when he is a King.
Whatever may come to our mind, our mind develops a liking for that. In the course of time the ego rises and we are chained to what we like. Everyone says that he himself is great. Everyone says that he himself is good looking. Everyone says that he himself is intelligent. Everyone says that whatever he has said about himself that has been said having the whole world in mind. This is how people think. No one says that he is on the minus side as compared to others. Those who have knowledge really have a good perspective of vision. People develop ego on the basis of their perception. This should not happen. They should have conscience. One should not be proud of a worthless thing. One should not get distracted from the truth. The one who does exactly opposite to this is a fool. He who has ego in relation to the truth does not have any ego at all. An ability to justify can never be compared to a disability to justify. You can only justify something that exists for certain. Disability to justify means that the basis of your jusification is gone. How can a very pertinent thing be same as a very irrelevant thing. Those who are honest don't have fear in mind. Those who are thieves always run here and there. Someone is very effective in preaching while someone speaks just for the sake of speaking. Whatever we do without proper thinking will make us feel tired. We should search for someone who has developed a good power of discrimination.
There may be a lot of common people but a man of vision exercises control over all of them. Common people cannot cause any harm to him. Thatswhy you should get close to the men of vision. Those who don't have any vision wander here and there. Dont tell everyone about your relations with the men of vision. One who wins over the heart of people in power can attract lot of people. He is held in esteem by common as well as good people. Expand your contacts through networking. Influence intellectuals by your intelligent thinking. You should put stumbling blocks in the path of wrong doers. This you should do while observing the tenets of equity. One should have a simple appearance. One should have a mind capable of dealing with complications. One should never deviate from the cause of people. One should have a detached and innovative lifestyle. A good fellow who can live like this is rare in this world. One should read a lot. One should soothe the syche of people. Then he should occupy the mind of all with dynamism. One who sits at one place cannot do anything. So one should be attentive and one should meet people. One who maintains contact with people is showing the signs of cleverness. He who has the aforesaid qualities has a satisfied mind.
Someone has a habbit of listening to others. He always forms his opinion on the basis of what others say. He ultimately becomes a victim of his baseless opinion. We should listen a lot from a lot of people. We should also verify what others say at the level of our experience before taking any point of view.
Dont say no to anyone. One should understand the plus and minus of what he says. Do speak with some purpose in your mind. Dont speak for the sake of speaking. There are some people who are stubborn and useless. Still one should listen to what they say. This is how we should please the minds of many. If someone develops a twist in his mind then he nourishes that twist for a long time. Therefore those who are intelligent should not cause any twists in the minds of others. He who makes foolish people wise leads a worthy life. He who escalates the attrition is foolish. We should reach the mind of others. We should accept our defeat at times and turn the tables at an appropiate time. We should do all this with conscience and no one should know anything about it. Let us behave like others. Let us talk like others. Let us agree to others point of view. He who works for general good does not do anything bad. He maintains contacts with people. He tries to understand their mind and then he analyses further. He uses different means for reaching out to people. Where a stubborn meets a stubborn there is a disorder. If there is ill-will then there is no scope for intelligence. It is very easy to talk a lot but it is very difficult to execute. It is really very difficult to get over others mind.
Do bear the blows and slaps. Do bear the harsh and evil words. People who offend you will come back to you on feeling remorseful. You should speak after understanding the circumstances. You should not make out to others that you are intelligent. We should be humble whereever we go. We should see the houses in the villages and the cities. We should evaluate all people whether great or not great under the guise of asking for alms. You will find something of substance if you meet a lot of people. You may establish friendship with some great people. If you sit idle then nothing happens. So keep moving. One should be attentive at everything. One should understand the prevailing conditions before going to some place. Wherever one may go, one should keep one's conscience. One should read and recite a lot of things. One should do everything to soothe the minds of people. He who offers something that the people ask for is a great person and he is recognised by everyone. A person who is recognised by all is not a common person. Many people abide by what he says. These are the signs of cleverness. One who is clever is not lacking in anything whereever one goes.
People are greedy. The first word that they say is "Dev". "Dev" is a marathi word for God. "Dev" also means "give" in marathi. When people say "Dev" they mean to say "Give Something". This is what they crave for. People are zero on the front of devotion. Still they long for happiness. This is like asking for the payment from the employer without doing any work. There can be no good results without hard work. There can be no kingdom without the hardwork done by the King. You cannot get anything without hard work. He who is lethargic cannot get any result of his work. Those who are of low stature, they just shirk hard work. Those who undergo the pains of hard work at the begining reap the fruits of happiness later. Those who take pleasure in leisure at the begining become sad at the end. Whether it is the material world or the spiritual world what is required is conscience. One should understand the benefits of long term planning. He who spends everything that he earns cannot sustain in the difficult times. They are wise who have a perspective for a long term. Whether it be a spiritual world or a material world, there is a great significance of accumulation of merit. He who does harm to himself is no better than a person committing suicide.
Our mind is restless. It is changing its state every moment. If we try to calculate the total time lost due to restlessness of mind then that will be a very difficult calculation. What people say is that the God does everything. We can realise the God. God can be realised by someone only on the basis of conscience. We can identify conscience among people by making search. God is one but there are many differentiations that are visible. The differentiation is so glaring that we cannot say that it is not there. One should understand the God and also the divine action. People talk about this subject without knowing anything. They speak without sense and make out as if they are very intelligent. They should do something to quench their thirst. Those who have made tremendous efforts have enjoyed good fortune. Others are just babbling. A useless person cannot understand the good qualities of a good person. The intelligent ones understand the foolishness of fools. He who has a mind full of bad methods, how can he understand any good method. He considers bad things as good. He who loses purity of mind can do no good to himself. He is a big zero on the front of intelligent thinking. Only good intelligent thinking helps in the material and spiritual world. Only on the basis of good intelligent thinking we can understand what exists forever and what is for a while.
