The wise man should restrain his senses like the crane and accomplish his purpose with due knowledge of his place, time and ability.

The foolish man conceives the idea of 'self.' The wise man sees there is no ground on which to build the idea of 'self;' thus, he has a right conception of the world and well concludes that all compounds amassed by sorrow will be dissolved again, but the truth will remain.

The wise man makes an island of himself that no flood can overwhelm.

An egoist can be won over by being respected, a crazy person can be won over by allowing him to behave in an insane manner and a wise person can be won over by truth.

Even a pandit comes to grief by giving instruction to a foolish disciple, by maintaining a wicked wife, and by excessive familiarity with the miserable.

He shall despise none, but hear the opinions of all. A wise man shall make use of even a child's sensible utterance.
