A WORD ABOUT HIERARCHY

 

1. Sanat Kumara: He is the planetary Logos, the King that presides over the planetary evolution in general. He resides in the 2nd ether around our Globe in an ashram called to day as "Shambala" - originally known as "Shyama Bala", meaning the Blue boy. The ashram is hidden in the region of Gopi desert, originally known as "Gopi" meaning "The hidden".

The evolution of the planet is three fold - evolution of the beings, of the form of beings and of the social formations of the beings into tribes communities, groups, nations, their inter-relationships at various levels - social, cultural, economic, & spiritual. Sanat Kumara presides over such three fold evolution of the planet. He represents the spiritual will of the planet.

 

2. Lord Maitreya: He is the World Teacher that presides over all global teachings, writings and related activities that enlighten beings. He is the Teacher of the teachers and presides over the Hierarchy of teachers at the Global level. He resides in the caves of Kalapa-North Himalayan range.

 

3. Manu Vaivaswata: He is the Global Archetect that presides over formations of matter - mineral, plant, animal, human, semi-divine. His work is to evolve the moulds of forms (of the beings) that would contribute absorption of greater measure of light. He descends from the Universal Hierarchy of Viswakarma - the Great Architect of the Universe. He is the 7th of the Manus.

 

4. Mahachohan: He is the Global Chief of evolution of civilisations, economics, nations, societies, tribes, groups, communities etc., His work is to build healthy social order that tunes upto the spiritual will.

WISDOM TEACHINGS

 

	1
	The man* who is encountered by an enemy more powerful than him, the man who lost his wealth, the man who is in lust for a woman, and the man that desires to thieve, cannot sleep. They suffer from sleeplessness.   *In the ancient language, "man" means the human soul, the beings that work with mind, and hence it includes woman. It is an equivalent term for "human being".
	2
	The one who is not distant to the knowledge of the self, effectiveness in action, detachment, and the link-up to the Law, is the Knower.
	3
	The one who does acts of goodwill, does not other acts, does not advocate atheism, and does remain attentive (Sraddha), is the Knower.
	4
	The one who keeps at distance uncontrollable anger, self-aggrandizement, vanity, excitement and unmannerliness, is the Knower.
	5
	The one who does more than he speaks, does not give hint of his acts and thoughts of goodwill, and does enable others to know him only through acts, is the Knower.
	6
	The Knower is undeterred by fear, desire, riches, poverty and weather, in accomplishing his acts of goodwill.
	7
	The Knower sticks to the Law in the fields of economics, family and society. None of the three affects his implicit obedience to the Law.
	8
	The Knower is one who neglects not the trivials, listens with care, serves with love and knowledge, serves not with desire, speaks not unless asked, and remains alert in grasp of situations.
	9
	The Knower does not desire the undesirable, broods not over the loss, and drops not wisdom at times of adversity.
	10
	The Knower is stable in will, does not abandon any work half-way, and, transcending the mind, fulfils the purpose of life.
	11
	The Knower gains the love and affection of the righteous, guards the welfare of the beings, and grants splendour to the surroundings.
	12
	The Knower is not flattered by praise and felicitations, is not flattened by criticism and opposition, but flows evenly in gait as a sacred river.
	13
	The Knower is one who knows the nature of the beings, knows the plan and the plan of action, and also knows the skill to accomplish the plan.
	14
	The one whose speech flows like a stream, who knows the worldly patterns, who is capable of argument, who is intuitive, and holds scriptural knowledge, is the Knower.
	15
	The one whose actions demonstrate wisdom, whose wisdom demonstrate action, who is self-reliant, and who does not confuse the Path, is tile Knower.
	16
	The one whose knowledge is incomplete, who lives more in thought and less in action, who gathers wealth through clandestine means, is considered to be a fool.
	17
	The one who abstains from self duty, who engrosses in others' duties, and who damages a friend's work, is considered to be a fool.
	18
	The one who entertains undesirable persons, who neglects the desirable ones, who opposes a stronger one, is considered to be a fool.
	19
	The one who dumps his work on others, who doubts at events, who delays action, is a fool.
	20
	The one who neglects the Pitris* who worships not the Devas** who ignores a friend, is a fool.   * Pitris: lunar Devas. ** Deva: celestial being.
	21
	The one Who presents himself uninvited, who speaks unasked, and who relies on the unreliable, is a fool
	22
	The one who shifts his mistakes onto others, whose anger is uncontrollable, and who mistakes persons, is a fool.
	23
	The one who aspires regardless capacity, regardless desirability, regardless effort, and regardless possibility, is the Fool of the fools.
	24
	The one who commands those who are not subordinates, who makes approaches to others' ladies, and who serves a miser, is a fool.
	25
	The one who gains wisdom, wealth and social position, and yet remains simple, is the Knower.
	26
	The misdeeds of one have a ripple effect on the community. The community karma is experienced and neutralized. But the one that initiated the ripple has to bear the brunt of the misdeed.
	27
	The arrow of the archer may destroy a person. But the mischief of an intellectual can destroy a community. Intellectual aggression is to be feared to mere physical aggression.
	28
	With the help of the One decide the two, and conquer the three. With the help of the four transcend the five, know the six, and relinquish the seven!
	29
	The tolerant one has only one weakness. He has no other. His weakness is tolerance. The people think that he is incapable. He allows them to think so.
	30
	Tolerance is the strength of the weak, and is the ornament of the strong.
	31
	Through tolerance one can conquer all that is. Nothing is impossible for the tolerant one. The weapons of tolerance are more powerful than the weapons of war.
	32
	Tolerance consumes fire, like the cool water. Intolerance is the wild fire that destroys all around oneself.
	33
	Dharma* is the only means to welfare. Tolerance is the only means to peace. Knowledge is the only means to contentment. Harmlessness is the only means to Bliss. *Dharma: the sacred Law.
	34
	There are only two fallen ones upon the Earth: one is the householder who does not work with zeal, the other is the mendicant that works with zeal.
	35
	The King that does not redress the "wrong", and the Brahmin (Initiate) that does not teach, are unworthy to be on Earth.
	36
	The person that is not pungent in speech, and is not tolerant of evil, is considered human.
	37
	There are two mediocre ones in this world: the one who desires what others desire, and the one who believes what others believe. The mediocre has no conviction.
	38
	The multiple desires of the poor, and the anger of the incompetent are the two sharp thorns that drain the poor, and the incompetent.
	39
	The poor that donates, and the competent that tolerates, are at the top of the heaven.
	40
	The double danger with money lies in its non-availability for deeds of goodwill, and its availability for deeds of evil.
	41
	The rich that does not donate and the poor that does not introspect, meet the "dead end".
	42
	The disciple that lives in Yoga, and the soldier that dies in war, transcend the Wheel of the world.
	43
	The seers spot the animal, the human, and the divine in the human beings. Accordingly, they interact suitably.
	44
	Man destroys himself through thieving, aspiring for other's woman, and through loss of friendship.
	45
	The gateways to unhappiness are: anger, vengefulness and miserliness.
	46
	Never let down the one devoted to you, the one that depends on you, and the one who proclaims to be yours.
	47
	The administrator has to be friendly with the knowers, cautious with the flatterers, distant to excessive thinkers and non-thinkers, and detach from the stupid ones at all times.
	48
	The householder has to aid the relative that is aged, the one in adversities, the friend in poverty, and the destitute sister.
	49
	Practise silence, study of Scriptures, and sacrifice, not for social recognition but for self-enlightenment.
	50
	Serve with utmost veneration the parents, the teacher, the fire, and the Soul, to fulfil the journey of life upon Earth.
	51
	The one who serves the Devas, the Pitris, the humans, the mendicants* and the guests, gains undiminishing fame.   *Mendicant: a "Sanyasi" - a relinquished one.
	52
	The friends, the enemies, the associates, the dependants, and the dependable ones, accompany you, wherever you move.
	53
	The seeker of wealth shall have to wriggle out of excessive sleep, laziness, fear, hatred, and excessive thinking, to accomplish the purpose.
	54
	Abandon at once, the teacher that does not guide, the priest that does not recite the Scriptures, the leader that does not protect, and the spouse that is excessively critical.
	55
	Lack of fear and of jealousy, patience and uprightness, generosity and activity, are the qualities of the successful.
	56
	In-flowing wealth, unaffected health, co-operative spouse, obedient son, and useful knowledge, are the pentagon of happiness.
	57
	The thieves live by others' laxity, the doctors live by diseases, the priests live by the theists, the government lives by the ungoverning, the scholars live by the ignorant.
	58
	The cattle, the service, the cultivation, and the friendliness of the uncultured ones, the application of knowledge, and the attention to the wife, need a constant vigil.
	59
	The disciple that gained knowledge, the sons that married, the man that enjoyed the lust, the one that received help, the one that crossed the river, the sick that is cured, tend to forget the teacher, the mother, the woman, the helper, the boat, and the doctor, respectively.
	60
	Health, absence of debts, habitation in the native land, association with men of goodwill, self-employment, and fearless life, are the six sources of happiness.
	61
	Jealousy, discontentment, vengeance, doubt, and dependency on others' wealth, are the five sources of sorrow.
	62
	Weakness for woman, gambling, hunting, alcoholic drinks, pungent speech, punitive attitude, and extravagance in expenditure, are the seven vices.
	63
	Hatred towards the enlightened ones, thieving the wealth of the saints, belittling the men of wisdom, rejoicing at their criticism, admonishing their praise, recklessness in approach to them, are the symptoms of fall.
	64
	Meeting the friend, abundant flow of wealth, embrace of the son, timely advice, honour in the society, fulfilment of aspiration, social respect, and mating with the lady that one loves, are the sources of instant happiness.
	65
	Intelligence coupled with virtues, self-regulation, birth in a high family, knowledge of the world Scriptures, fearlessness, generosity, gratitude, and regulated speech, are the eight qualities that let the person shine.
	66
	The human body is a city of nine gates. It has three pillars and five witnesses. The dweller is within. The one who knows the three and the five can experience the city.
	67
	Know the ten who do not care the Law: The drank, the mistaken, the mad, the stressed, the vengeful, the hungry, the hasty, the avaricious, the coward, and the ever-desiring.
	68
	The one who relinquishes excessive desire and uncontrollable anger, who has clear ability to discriminate, who can intelligently deploy the wealth, who is knowledgeable of the Scriptures, and who does not delay action, is a good governor.
	69
	The one who gains people's confidence, who is capable of rightly judging and punishing the default, and who knows to condone, is a good governor.
	70
	The one who does not insult the weak, who waits with patience in times of adversity, who does not oppose the one stronger than himself, and who does not hesitate to put down lawlessness, is a good governor.
	71
	The one who is not depressed by the unfavourable trend of events, who pursues in silence consistently, and who forbears the ordeals of life, is a good governor.
	72
	The one who departs the family without purpose, who cultivates friendliness with the undesirable, who craves for contact with woman, who is possessed of self-pride, and who succumbs to alcoholic drinks, is a weak governor.
	73
	The one who does not commence any act in anger, who is inclined to truth in speech, who does not indulge in arguments with friends, who is not infuriated by others' slight (at him), who is equanimous and non- critical, who is not at enmity with others, who does not transgress the limits in speech, who demonstrates patience in disputes, is the governor that shines forth.
	74
	The one who is not showy in appearance, who does not flatter himself, who does not indulge in criticism, is the one whom the world loves.
	75
	The one who does not inflame a settled enmity, who does not exhibit arrogance in behaviour, who does not escape from duty, and who does not adopt to questionable means in adversities, is the one who is considered to be an Aryan.
	76
	The one who is not excited by accomplishment, who does not rejoice at others' calamities, who does not repent upon that which is donated by him, is an Aryan.
	77
	The Devas co-operate with the one who conducts charity and worship on a daily basis.
	78
	The one who associates, cultivates friendship, conducts transactions, converses with equals, does not with inferiors, and follows the superiors, is the wise one.
	79
	The one who distributes to dependents, limits self-requirements, works more and sleeps less, and helps even the enemy in distress, is the wise one.
	80
	The one who conceives thoughts of goodwill, plans in detail, and acts in silence, is the wise one.
	81
	The one who strives for the welfare of the beings, holds a soft nature, speaks truth pleasantly, and entertains noble thoughts, is the wise one that shines forth amidst the race.
	82
	The one that repents at his mistakes, holds the mind stable through contemplation upon the unlimited light, and keeps an open mind, is the wise one.
	83
	Let not the mind engage in conspiracy, and in short term benefits, gained through unlawful means. Let not the mind weaken at short term losses, suffered through lawful means. Let the mind ideate the future consequences of the present actions, to "check-mate" the present attitudes that bring future sufferings.
	84
	Let not prosperity let loose the conduct. Misbehaviour destroys prosperity, like old-age destroys the youthful beauty.
	85
	Avarice entices you to mishap. Look at the fish that entangles to the bait.
	86
	The wise one eats that which is acceptable and nourishing to the body. Likewise, he does that which is socially acceptable and personally comforting.
	87
	Unripe fruit yields not juice. Unripe action yields not the desired result. Ripened fruit, not only yields juice, but also gives the seed to further the species. Mature actions, likewise, give birth to series of acts of goodwill.
	88
	The honey-bee draws honey pleasantly from the flower. The wise man draws work from others with equal skill.
	89
	Think before you plunge into action. Accept the consequences of your actions. Foolish are those who act without foreseeing the consequences. Peevish are those who do not accept the consequences of their own actions. They do not adopt the remedial actions.
	90
	Commence not actions that yield no results. Plant not trees that yield not fruits or flowers.
	91
	Many not a man who is poor. Accept not a master who is ever angry. They cannot serve the purpose.
	92
	Wisdom lies in reaping bounties through actions simple and yet profound. A good farmer knows how to reap a rich harvest.
	93
	Let your looks of equanimity enable the flow of ever-nourishing Love and Light.
	94
	Wisdom is never at exhibition. It manifests through speech and action, like a lightening, and returns to the source. Displayed wisdom is susceptible to abuse. Does not the ripened fruit hide behind the leaves?
	95
	Control through fear is a beastly act. There is always the danger of a coup by the subjugated. Contact through love is a divine act. It allows freedom with responsibility. It gives not scope for revolt.
	96
	The wise one looks at the inheritance as a responsibility but not as a privilege. The sense of privilege depletes the inheritance. The sense of responsibility augments the splendour of the inheritance.
	97
	The lawless governor mutilates himself like the leather in the fire.
	98
	Self-defence is the quality of the aggressive.
	99
	Kingdom/property/ wealth, gained and administered lawfully, remains, and even keeps growing. As long as the Law is the presiding principle, the wealth diminishes not.
	100
	Intelligence lies in utilization. There is no waste thing in creation to the intelligent one. He knows how to utilize, and this brings forth gold from the earth, work from the lazy, and service from the selfish.
	101
	Wisdom lies in the intelligent collection of things from nature. The bird lives on grains left out in the field, through patient collection. The wiseman lives on collection of the wisdom statements of the Initiates.
	102
	The Initiate lives with wisdom as the basis. The King lives with secret intelligence as the basis. The trader lives with money as the basis. Others live with that which they seek in the world as the basis.
	103
	Resistance is the cause of all suffering. The wealth that one holds is meant more for others than for himself. The wisdom that one holds is also meant for others, than for himself. The cow holds milk for others, not for herself. When resisted to offer, they are put to suffering.
	104
	The one who bends to the Law of nature is not further bent. Nature bends beings towards the Law through time. The iron is heated and struck till it is moulded.
	105
	The rainy cloud is the best friend to the cattle. The minister is the best friend to the king. Wisdom is the best friend to the Initiate. The husband is the best friend to the wife.
	106
	The Law, the Truth, the wisdom science, its practice, and the group of goodwill, are the sources of protection.
	107
	The measure protects the paddy. Nursing protects the horses. Superintendence protects the cow. Periods protect the woman.
	108
	Conduct courses one to happiness or unhappiness - be it a king or a common. Conduct alone is responsible for one's own misery or mastery.
	109
	There is no respite to the one who is jealous of others' wealth, health, strength, happiness, prosperity, and of others' beauty.
	110
	The ornaments augment the beauty of a person. But there are persons who are ornamental even to the ornaments.
	111
	In the hands of the righteous, the wisdom and the wealth shine forth. In the hands of others, they are just ornamental.
	112
	When the unrighteous seek help, the righteous help and forget. But when the unrighteous help the righteous, they flatter themselves to be greater than the righteous. They look forward to aggrandize themselves at the slightest opportunity.
	113
	The Initiates rely on the righteous only. The righteous need to rely on the righteous only. Even the unrighteous need to relay on the righteous at times of adversity. But the righteous should never rely on the unrighteous, even in times of utter difficulty.
	114
	The one well dressed gains the attention in a gathering. The one well tuned to light gains mastery over earthy objects. The one who has a good vehicle progresses well on the path. The one who has good conduct accomplishes all.
	115
	Good conduct is the keynote of human life. It steers life towards fulfilment through time. The one who lacks it, is the "living dead".
	116
	The ones who get timely, tasty, fresh and nourishing food, are rich in life. The others who work for it, are poor in life.
	117
	The rich have plenty to eat; but they cannot digest. The poor can digest plenty, but they do not get as much. One needs to find the meeting point.
	118
	The low class fear lack of food and shelter, the middle class fear death, the rich fear loss of wealth, and the cultured fear ignominy.
	119
	Among all sources of pride, the pride of riches is the worst. It causes instant fall.
	120
	The senses engaged in the sense objects cause hindrance to the flow of the Soul energy, just as the transit planets disturb the flow of the space energy though their qualities.
	121
	Indulgence in the sense objects causes depletion of the Soul energy. The senses grow from strength to strength to bind the Soul to the Earth.
	122
	The king that does not heed to the advice, and the mind that does not heed to wisdom, are bound to fall through time.
	123
	Learn to see the enemies in your thoughts instead of seeing them in persons. Weed out the inner enemies. Then, even the outer enemies are weakened.
	124
	The ability to tame the horses that draw the chariot decides the fate of one's travel. The ability to train the senses decides one's travel in life. The wild horses can even destroy the chariot. The wild, untrained senses can destroy the body. In either case the travel is hindered, and the traveller is stranded.
	125
	The man driven by the sense objects grows distant to the Law and the purpose of life, and loses the splendour, the wealth, the family, and even the life.
	126
	Unless a master of wealth is also a master of senses, he is bound to fall from the coveted status.
	127
	Grip the Soul with the help of the will. Then, the Soul energy flows into the mind, and from the mind into the senses and the body. The Soul is the only friend to the individual soul.
	128
	Wisdom is the Law for the enlightened one. The Law binds the beings when wisdom is abandoned. Excessive desire and anger are the abettors for abandonment of wisdom.
	129
	The one dominated by the senses is already conquered by the enemies-internal. The enemies can conquer him effortlessly.
	130
	The righteous are affected by the mere association with the unrighteous. The fruit rots in association with a rotten one.
	131
	The selfish one cannot be beyond jealousy, straight forward, contented, pleasing in behaviour, self-regulated, and stable.
	132
	The selfish one cannot be fearless, dispassionate, lawful, trustworthy, generous, and enlightened.
	133
	Harsh and critical speech hurts people. In turn it hurts the speaker too, in time. The ability to pardon a critical speech elevates the subject beyond the personality, and settles him in the Soul awareness. Silence is therefore a good response to harsh and critical speeches.
	134
	Evil deeds are the strength of the wicked. Administration is the strength of the governor. Service is the strength of the woman. Patience is the strength of the virtuous.
	135
	If one is hurt physically, the wound heals through time. But if one is hurt vocally, the wound remains for life.
	136
	The sharp speech hurts deeper than a sharp arrow. It not only hurts, but humiliates the victim days and nights. The wise one never therefore uses the pungent speech.
	137
	Equanimity of mind surpasses all spiritual practices, and stands out as a means for reflection of the subtle upon the gross.
	138
	The lady that lost the affection of the husband, the gambler that lost money, and the person that lies, cannot have sound sleep.
	139
	The man that deviates from Truth for earthly riches, destroys himself as also his clan, in due course of time.
	140
	The man who deviates from the path of Truth for the sake of his kith and kin, and for the sake of earthly possessions, destroys himself.
	141
	The Devas are unlike the shepherd. They protect only the righteous, and leave the unrighteous to the consequence of their actions.
	142
	Goodwill should be the basis for all actions, to realize peace in this world, and in the world beyond.
	143
	The Vedas* and their knowledge are of no use (support or assistance) to the one who is manipulative at the thought world.   * Vedas: the "revelation", or "divine knowledge".
	144
	The fight, the vengeful attitude, promotion of conflict between the couple, differences with the co-born, working against the government, and addiction to alcohol are avoidable acts.
	145
	Wisdom disappears from the wise one through acts of ill-will, just as daylight concedes to the darkness of night.
	146
	The palmist, the thief turned into businessman, the superstitious one, the doctor, the enemy, the friend and the actor, are not desirable witnesses in a court of Law.
	147
	Practice of mantras, performance of Homa* study of wisdom science, and acts of goodwill, continuously protect man. If these are done for publicity, they generate conflict in man.   *Homa: Fire ritual.
	148
	The one that sets fire to houses, the one that poisons others, the one that sells wisdom, the one that prepares deadly weapons, the one that spreads conflict, the one that belies others' confidence, the one that molests a lady, the one that causes abortion, the one that desires the teacher's wife, the wise one that drinks alcohol, the one that persist to hurt, the one that believes not in the world beyond, the one that slights the Scriptures, the one in government that collects bribes, the initiate that doesn't sing Gayatri*, the capable one that does not protect, are criminals.   *Gayatri: a most sacred Mantra of the Vedic hymns addressed to the Lord of Omnipresence.
	149
	Fire reveals the objects in darkness. Behaviour reveals righteousness. Transaction reveals goodwill. Bravery reveals in times of danger. Poise reveals in times of adversities. Friend or enemy reveals in times of need. Know them through the appropriate occasions.
	150
	Old age destroys the bodily beauty, avarice destroys stability, death destroys life, jealousy destroys righteousness, anger destroys wealth, association with a "lowly person" destroys character, desire destroys decency. Pride destroys all.
	151
	Wealth generates auspicious deeds. Wealth grows through intelligent action. Wealth establishes through capacity to sustain good deeds. Wealth remains when one remains humble and serviceable.
	152
	Man shines forth through intelligence, birth in noble family, education, courage, pleasant speech, generosity, self-restraint, and gratitude.
	153
	Of the eight qualities, four associate with the man of goodwill. The other four need to be accomplished. Acts of goodwill, generosity, self-study, and contemplation, associate with men of goodwill. Self-restrain, treading the path of righteousness, equanimity, and compassion, are to be accomplished. The first set of four qualities may be practised by some people for social recognition. But the second set of four qualities is beyond those who hold not to goodwill.
	154
	The court is not when it contains not the wise. The wise is not when he is not emphatic of Dharma. Dharma is not when it carries not Truth, and Truth is not when it is covered by conceit.
	155
	Birth in noble family, beauty in form, truth in action, study of wisdom science, contemplation, good character, mental and physical strength, wealth, valour, and pleasant expression, lead man to heavenly life upon Earth.
	156
	Indulging in acts of evil, man eats the fruits of evil. Indulging in acts of goodwill, man enjoys the fruits of goodwill. Acts of evil dim the light of discrimination. Devoid of light, the acts of evil grow beyond proportions, until they destroy the doer. Acts of goodwill enhance the light of wisdom, and lead man into the realms of light, the subtle world of Divinity.
	157
	Jealousy, victimization, unpleasant expression, vengeance, and deceit, are the seats of evil.
	158
	The wise draws wisdom from the Initiates, and treads a lighted way of life. The ignorants use the Initiates otherwise, and hence cannot find the path of life and light.
	159
	Qualitative action during the day contributes to the comfort of night's sleep. Qualitative action meets the providence of the rainy season of life. Qualitative action during the middle age contributes to the comfort in the old age. Qualitative action in life contributes to the life after death in a congenial way.
	160
	The food that is well digested, the lady that is well behaved, the warrior that wins, and the aspirant that realises truth, are honoured.
	161
	The wealth gained through means unlawful, disturbs the rhythm of life in general.
	162
	The Master guides those whose heart is open. The King commands the subjects, and even punishes the lawless. The Lord of Death punishes those who carry out acts of evil in secrecy.
	163
	One can never gauge the wisdom of the Master, the current of the river, the power of the Seers, and the patterns of reaction of woman.
	164
	The King that honours the Initiates, harmonises the community, distributes the resources with discretion, conducts well in the court, rules the kingdom for long years.
	165
	The King that protects, the teacher that guides, the worker that serves, and the businessman that distributes, gather golden flowers from the garden called "Earth".
	166
	The acts are four in kind: the physical, the emotional, the mental, and the super-mental. One is superior to the other in the given order.
	167
	Continuity of purpose, poise, truthful and lawful nature, and equanimity, are the qualities of the Initiate.
	168
	The Initiate is undisturbed of others' misbehaviour towards him. Consequently the misbehaviour boomerangs to the source of its emanation.
	169
	The Initiate indulges not in criticism nor does he insult others. He engages not in his personality praise. He speaks not to spread conflict. Pungent speech is foreign to his nature.
	170
	Pungent speech affects the heart, the bones, and burns up the life force. Hence, the wise ones avoid such speech as poison.
	171
	The hard-hearted one, the sharp-tongued one, the humiliating one, and the incisively critical one, are the toppers among the low class of humans.
	172
	The Initiate absorbs through silence the sinful talks and actions of the wicked, and thereby weakens the latter.
	173
	Just as the cloth covering the myrrh gains the latter's fragrance, the association with men of goodwill, with men of evil, with an aspirant or with an Initiate, enables transmission of their respective qualities.
	174
	Initiate not, or indulge in irresponsible talk. Let not acts of lowly nature initiate from you. Learn to be tolerant. The tolerant one is eagerly awaited even in the heavenly abode.
	175
	Silence is better than speech. Truthful speech is better than silence. Pleasant expression of Truth is better than mere truthful speech. Let not pleasantness in expression deviate from Truth.
	176
	Man becomes that which he associates with, and that which he strongly desires.
	177
	Man attaches to qualities, to desires, and to the world through his interest towards them, and detaches from them through disinterestedness.
	178
	Man needs to gain the knowledge of right attachment.
	179
	There is neither conquering nor conceding, neither praise nor insult, neither aggression nor regression, neither allegry nor sorrow, neither enemy nor friend to the "equi-poised" one. He remains one in all -but not as one to one.
	180
	The man that trusts not himself does not trust the world. The man that treads not truth trusts not the Scriptures. The man that sees not the Divine in Creation trusts not the Law. Such man destroys himself through "miss-trust".
	181
	Serve the men of wisdom to remain in the splendour of life. Serve not the mediocre ones unless inevitable. Serve not the evil even if it is inevitable.
	182
	Man may gain money through strength, through effort, and through aggression. But he cannot gain a place in the hearts of the beings unless his acts are hearty.
	183
	Acts of goodwill gain the hearts of the beings. The surrounding life submits with all its qualities to the man of goodwill.
	184
	Seven are the qualities of the Divine, the Divine among the human. They are: self contemplation, self restrain, self knowledge, sacrifice, conduct of sacraments, wealth, and feeding the hunger.
	185
	Dependability, service to parents, loving understanding, and truthful conduct, are the qualities of the Divine among the human.
	186
	Man falls through inferior marital association, non conduct of sacrificial acts, aversion to the laws of nature, indifference to the Scriptures, abuse of wealth, exploitation of the Teacher, and through insulting the elders.
	187
	Man gains order through study of Scriptures, through serving the Initiates, and through utilization of his resources for others' welfare.
	188
	Good conduct in the long run gathers right wealth, that bestows contentment. Good conduct is to be protected with effort at all times. The ignorants try to protect wealth and fame. The wise ones try to protect good conduct.
	189
	There cannot be lasting wealth, name and fame, and knowledge, when good conduct is lacking.
	190
	Abandon from your circle any person who victimizes an Initiate. Such one is the source of your fall.
	191
	The person of good conduct lives only to serve the surrounding life.
	192
	Forbearance is the king of the qualities.
	193
	Trust is the basis of friendship. Fear and doubt are enemies of friendship. Where there is no trust, there is only a superficial relation.
	194
	The inconsistent one, the one that-does not serve the elders, and the one who does not rely upon discrimination, cannot retain friendship.
	195
	Wealth disappears from the hands of the one who is indulgent, ignorant, and inconsistent.
	196
	The clouds move as per the wind. The anger and the pleasure of the wicked are as unpredictable as such clouds. The flesh and blood of them are unworthy to be touched even by the animals.
	197
	Mental conflict weakens the vitality, dims the knowledge, feeds the disease, and mutilates the beauty of the form.
	198
	Sorrow does not enable accomplishment of the desired. It bums the body. Further, it pleases the enemies. Hence, entertainment of sorrow is foolish.
	199
	Man is born repeatedly. He dies repeatedly. He grows, develops, and retreats. He begs many times. He responds to others' begging. He weeps for others, and is the object of others' weeping. There are series of sequences of events which bring in happiness and unhappiness, profit and loss, birth and death. No one is an exception to this sequence. Therefore, the wise one neither swells nor depletes with the events.
	200
	Beware of the six holes to the path of wisdom. They are the five senses and the objective mind. The holes drain the wisdom unless regulated.
	201
	Peace is incompatible with avarice, sensuousness, lack of introspection, and ignorance.
	202
	Wisdom dispels fear. Contemplation bestows stability. Serving the Teacher bestows knowledge, and Yoga bestows peace and poise.
	203
	Liberation is a reality to the one who transcends the pair of likes and dislikes. Such state is more natural and normal than the liberation attempted through donations, rituals, and study of the Scriptures.
	204
	When you are tensed-up due to internal conflict, neither the comfort of bed, nor the comfort of woman, or the comfort of praise, neutralize the tension.
	205
	Conspiracy keeps man away from the law, peace, poise, as also from the comfort of mind. Friendly advice is bitter to them.
	206
	Wealth is associated with cattle. Knowledge is associated with the Initiate. Inconsistency is associated with woman. Fear is associated with equals.
	207
	Futile is the vanity demonstrated upon the Initiate, the woman, the friend, and upon the cow. Fall is certain to such vanity.
	208
	The tree standing alone, however strong, can be uprooted by the gale. Likewise, the man standing aloof, however strong, can be defeated by enemies.
	209
	Never affect the life of the Initiates, the infants, the women, the cows, the host, the relatives, and the ones who seek protection.
	210
	Health and wealth are the two wings that enable the flight of life. Poverty affects the flight, and disease kills it.
	211
	Lift up from self-pity to be in peace. Self-pity is distasteful, worse than sickness, makes life heavy, turns man rigid, causes aversion to friends, and stimulates wrong actions. It is unworthy to fall into self-pity.
	212
	Sickness is the real ill-luck. It causes continuous worry. It does not enable enjoyment of wealth. It grows averse to wisdom. Sickness is avoidable through right behaviour.
	213
	Dharma (the Law) should be acted upon at once. There should not be delay in dharmic action. It is not Dharma (Adharma) to exploit the soft-natured beings. Such exploitation depletes gradually the wealth of the exploiter. Protection of the soft opens the doors of fortune for generations.
	214
	One cannot straighten the rainbow, nor can he bend the sunray. Likewise, Righteousness cannot be manipulated.
	215
	Man leads himself towards the path of sorrow by, 1) commanding the superiors 2) serving the enemy 3) praising himself, and 4) opposing the one stronger than him.
	216
	Man leads himself towards the path of sorrow by, 1) lack of contentment, 2) insulting women, 3) seeking favours from the unworthy, and by 4) desiring the undesirable.
	217
	Man leads himself towards the path of sorrow by, 1) teaching the indifferent ones, 2) planting seeds in others' fields, 3) seeking good from the evil ones, and 4) by refusing to fulfil the promises.
	218
	The thorn in the foot is plucked out with the thorn only. Strategy should be met by strategy only. Meet the other at the same level as the other meets you.
	219
	Desire knows no decency.
	220
	Serving the wicked distorts one's own character.
	221
	Pride, Irresponsible speech, fury, anger, selfishness, unlawful acts, and breaching the trust are the five weapons that cut short the longevity. Death overtakes him.
	222
	One conquers death, if he is generous and soft in disposition, eats only sacrificial food, does not hurt, follows the Law, obeys the wisdom teachings, is truthful in action, is of unquestionable conscience, and comprehends the "One" in all.
	223
	There are many who speak pleasant though not truth. There are few who speak truth though not pleasant. The latter are friends in spirit, while the former are worldly.
	224
	The one that lives in the Law advises when asked, and his advice is in tune with the welfare of the questioner. He who cares not if the advice is bitter to the questioner, is a real helper. The doctor cares not if the appropriate medicine prescribed is bitter to the patient. Such ones are real helpers.
	225
	Prefer the community to a person. Prefer the village to a community. Prefer the nation to a village. Prefer the Earth to a nation. Abandon the part if necessary, for the sake of the whole.
	226
	Do not entertain manipulative persons in preference to the "leonine" ones. Manipulation leads to sorrow, in the long run.
	227
	Success of one depends upon his ability to choose the advisers, and also his readiness to follow the given advice. Many listen but do not act.
	228
	Treat the adviser as you treat yourself.
	229
	A good arbitrator is one who is capable but not proud, timely in action, compassionate, decent in behaviour, healthy in disposition, incorruptible, skilful, and tactful in speech.
	230
	Do not confront evil without weighing the consequences. Strategy and opportunity are the keynotes to meet and put down evil.
	231
	The King that is not stern, the lady that has not the character, and the man dismissed from a high office, are unfit for strategic transactions.
	232
	The man that bathes during the dawn and the dusk hours gains strength, beauty, good speech, good sense of touch, purity, splendour, softness, and even the friendliness and confidence of ladies of high honour.
	233
	The man that regulates the habit of intake (food) gains health, longevity, strength, happiness, and progeny devoid of sickness.
	234
	Do not entertain at home the lazy, the glutton, the one that hates the world, the manipulative, and the pretenders. They blot your awareness.
	235
	Do not seek help from the miser, the talkative, the foe, the brute, the gambler, the protector of the lowly, the non-compassionate, the vengeful, and the ungrateful.
	236
	Let not the overactive, the forgetful, the liar, the faithless, the unfriendly, and the self-praising ones gather around you.
	237
	Those who assist you, seek benefits from you. Seek not assistance without bestowing. Give to receive and receive only to give. Such is the law in Creation.
	238
	Poor is the parent that depends upon the progeny. Rich is the parent that shows the path to the progeny to live in honour, and thereafter retires into solitude.
	239
	Acts involving general welfare, yielding, self-contentment, promising a better tomorrow, are the acts recommended to be done.
	240
	Fear of livelihood exists not where there is hard work, clear decision, power in execution, pious disposition, and peaceful progress.
	241
	Evil-minded are disinclined to know the virtues of others. Divine-minded are disinclined to know the vices of others.
	242
	If you wish lofty accomplishments, you need to base upon noble conduct. Noble conduct develops the magnetic field that in turn attracts good luck by way of inflow of right resources.
	243
	The clean mind is capable of discrimination of natural and unnatural thoughts in himself and in others.
	244
	Link the desire to the Law; then the resources flow in. Link not the desire to the resources. Devoid of Dharma (the Law) the resources deplete. Link the resources that flow in to Dharma; the desire remains regulated.
	245
	The one who contains anger and excitement, and who remains stable in adversities is fit to hold fortunes.
	246
	The five strengths of the human are: 1) strength of self-awareness, 2) strength of wisdom and wealth, 3) strength of the family lineage, 4) strength of good advisers, and 5) strength of hands. Each of the five strengths is stronger than the other in their ascending order. (From n. 5 to n. 1)
	247
	Never underestimate the impending danger from the one warring against you.
	248
	Let not pride, fear, want of money, opinion of associates, deter you from respecting the man of wisdom.
	249
	It is the Law that thou shall not sell salt, thou shall not sell food, and thou shall not sell wisdom.
	250
	The mendicant is one who conquered anger, gained equanimity, overcame sorrow, neutralized the polarities in him, and is peaceful.
	251
	The arms of the righteous are longer than they appear. They reach out to affect the wicked.
	252
	Do not repose confidence in infidels. Also not completely confide in any if you are an administrator. An administrator should believe in himself more than believing others.
	253
	One is considered (hu)manly, if he has overcome jealousy, protects the dependants, speaks pleasant, is admired by the people, and is not influenced by any, including the ladies.
	254
	The women in the house are a representation of the Divine Mother. They need to be attended to with love and tenderness. They need to be protected as one would protect wealth.
	255
	The wise one organizes to conduct business through assistants, and to worship the Initiates through progeny.
	256
	Remember that fire is latent in the water/ valour is latent in the Initiate, and metal is latent in the stone. They emerge in emergency.
	257
	The man of wisdom remains hidden like the fire in the wood.
	258
	The King whose strategy is unknown to the ones within and outside the palace, remains successful.
	259
	Speak of acts of goodwill done. Speak not of the acts of goodwill to be done. Let actions speak. Let not speeches be made about actions.
	260
	The personal adviser needs to be not only wise but also friendly. A friend who is not wise, and a wise one who is not friendly cannot be given the status of personal adviser.
	261
	The man that looks into his actions, and verifies his accounts on a daily basis, never falls from wealth.
	262
	The Initiate knows the Initiate. The lady knows her man. The minister knows the King. The King knows the King.
	263
	Let not your anger target at the Devas, the Initiates, the King, the old, and the infants.
	264
	The man whose grace and anger are infructuous, is unfit to be administrator, just as the eunuch is unfit to be husband.
	265
	Neither wisdom nor ignorance is the means of wealth. There are wise who are not wealthy and ignorant who are wealthy. Mysterious is the means of wealth. The knowledgeable one knows that in this world things are topsy turvy.
	266
	Only the stupid ones heckle at wisdom, character, and wealth.
	267
	Ignorance, misconduct, jealousy, hasty speech, and anger are the gateways for calamities to approach oneself.
	268
	Generosity that knows no manipulation, conduct that does not exceed limits, and speech that is appropriate, is the triplicity that opens the gates for co-operation of the beings.
	269
	The capable that does not manipulate, the grateful, the righteous, and the one of soft character, never lose the support of associates, even in times of adversity.
	270
	Regulated mind, sense of stability, purity, kind disposition, friendliness, and pleasant speech augment a man's wealth.
	271
	Do not serve a man that is selfish, shameless, ungrateful, evil-minded, or that eats for himself.
	272
	The ones that respond to the times of need, and remain distant at other times, are the true knowers. They are unlike the over-bearing vampires.
	273
	The man who falls for the flattery of the gamblers, for the prostitutes, and for the flatterers, has little future.
	274
	The luck or ill-luck of a person is beyond rational. Man cannot master them. Wisdom recommends one to accept that which is offered by life.
	275
	Even Jupiter, the Lord of Speech, suffers insult from unthoughtful speech. Hence, ensure right speech.
	276
	Some are admired of their generosity. Some others are admired of their flowery speech. Yet others are admired of their power/wisdom. But the admirable-natured are ever admired. Be admirable.
	277
	When you dislike a person, you do not wish to cognize his virtues. When you like a person, you do not wish to cognize his vices. Either way your judgement suffers error.
	278
	The wise do not respect the growth tinged with manipulation. Such growth is bound to fall. They respect rather the suffering that paves way to healthy growth.
	279
	The suffering that leads to prosperity is no suffering. But the prosperity that leads man to suffering is unworthy.
	280
	Some are rich in wealth, some others are rich in virtues. If you need to choose, choose the latter in preference to the former.
	281
	The righteous cannot be passive to acts of evil done to beings.
	282
	Do not associate with people that criticize others, inflict others, and promote conflict. Never seek obligations through such people.
	283
	Keep away from criminals at once, lest you get implicated one way or the other.
	284
	The evil-minded is not contented with your suffering. He pursues until you are eliminated.
	285
	The one that assists the poor, the weak, the destitute, and the sick, prospers with his progeny for a long time.
	286
	Help the friends and relatives around you without expectation. It rewards you well in the long run in unexpected ways. Do not count upon their merits when you help.
	287
	The one who wishes to be happy shall have to assist those surrounding him to be happy.
	288
	The actions that lead you to utter sorrow should be avoided right away. Council the conscience on this.
	289
	If the listener is deaf, it is wise not to speak. If the student is disinclined, it is wise not to teach. If the consultee is closed in mind, it is wise that the counsellor does not advise.
	290
	Wisdom tells us not to initiate actions that cause unhappy consequences.
	291
	Pride, negligence, reliance upon the unreliable, excessive sleep, and unclever messenger, are the gateways for strategic failures.
	292
	No man can grow wise unless he serves an Initiate, and studies Scriptures under the tatter's guidance.
	293
	The advice to the disinclined, the teaching to the non-seeker, and the article sunk in the ocean, are wasted for ever.
	294
	Consult your experience, verify with your knowledge, enquire from well-wishers, ascertain yourself, and infer for yourself, whenever you launch upon a long-term association.
	295
	Humility eliminates ignominy. Courage eliminates crisis. Patience eliminates anger. Good conduct eliminates fall.
	296
	A man's culture can be gazed through the place of birth, the family, the food he eats, the clothes he wears, the personal effects he carries, and above all, by the way he speaks.
	297
	The man that transcends the bodily conditioning accepts that which is offered to the body. The others live by the bodily demands.
	298
	It is wise to take good care of a friend who is righteous, who has many good friends, who is admired in general, and who carries a tongue of good report.
	299
	Do not judge a man by his birth (in low or high family). Judge him by his conduct. The man that does not trespass the soft-natured, the righteous in behaviour, and feels ashamed at unsocial acts, is a high soul regardless the birth-status.
	300
	When there is agreeability in conscience, in confidence, and in awareness, friendship survives.
	301
	Abandon friendship with such person whose motives are impure, who lacks in discrimination, whose heart is not transparent.
	302
	Abandon friendship with such person who is head-strong, adamant, angry, hasty, and negligent.
	303
	Friendship demands gratefulness, uprightness, morality, love, stable mind, courage, to stand by in adversities, and non-exploitation.
	304
	Self-restrain is nobler than conquering death. Poking into others' affairs destroys even the divine.
	305
	The righteous desire to regain lost wealth through righteousness.
	306
	Man loses not the track of life if he is alert of the present, aware of the past, and the consequence of the future.
	307
	The thought that a man holds constantly is the one that holds him, moulds him, and leads him. Hence, hold the thought of goodwill.
	308
	Association with men of goodwill implants the seeds of goodwill in you.
	309
	Effort is the keynote of success.
	310
	Patience is the keynote of the competent for glory.
	311
	Enjoy the pleasure things that do not hinder the Law.
	312
	Wealth does not stay stable with persons who are negative in their attitude, who disbelieve the world beyond, who are lazy, and who are indulgent.
	313
	The good-natured are considered weak by the wicked.
	314
	Wealth does not stay stable with the risky person.
	315
	The Goddess of Wealth is like a mad cow that moves vaguely.
	316
	The purpose of wealth is to enjoy and to help. The purpose of Scriptures is to inspire for self-transformation. The purpose of rituals is to systematize oneself.
	317
	The wealth gained through wrong means is never useful to right purposes.
	318
	Men of poise are unaffected even in impending danger, in disheartening situations, in the worst adversities, and in dangerous pathways of the wild forests.
	319
	Penance is the strength of the mendicant. Self is the strength of the realized. Patience is the strength of the virtuous. Violence is the strength of the wicked.
	320
	Water, roots, fruit, milk, obedience to the Teacher, tonic for health, support the one on task.
	321
	In a nutshell, Dharma is "Not doing that which you do not want others to do unto you".
	322
	Conquer anger with peace, evil with goodness, miserliness by donation, and untruth by truth.
	323
	Never rely on the man that molests woman, the lazy, the timid, the furious, the proud, the thief, and the ungrateful.
	324
	The one that always serves the elders as also the Initiates, grows in span of life, in fame, and in strength.
	325
	Let not the mind entangle in tasks difficult to achieve, that tempt you to wrong means, and lead you to compromise with evil.
	326
	The man without education, the family life in conflict, the progeny without food (to eat), and the kingdom without the king, are pitiable.
	327
	Travel deteriorates the body. The water-flow deteriorates the banks. Excessive speech deteriorates the mind.
	328
	Non-practice is death to knowledge. Lack of self-restrain is death to the Initiate. Untruth is death to man. Estrangement is death to woman. Excessive desire leads all to death.
	329
	Gold excretes silver, silver excretes copper, copper excretes mercury, and mercury excretes excrete!
	330
	The fuel for the fire, the alcohol for the drunkard, and the sleep for the lazy, ' are insatiable.
	331
	The accomplished one shares with the friend, feeds the family to fulfilment, and eliminates opposition.
	332
	The beings live by nature's support. The cobbler, the barber, the potter, the trader, the soldier, the King, all are supported -one way or the other. Hence, living for livelihood is ignorance.
	333
	All the wealth of the planet Earth is not equal to a man of wisdom, for he is not enchanted by its treasures, namely, the precious minerals and metals, the crops, the animals, the cattle, and the woman.
	334
	The subjects of the kingdom are like the children to the King. The real King treats alike his children and the subjects in relation to administration of the Law.
	335
	The wise one lives not on others' administration. He lives to accomplish acts of goodwill, while admiration may follow him as a shade.
	336
	Admiration carries criticism as its shade. The one who looks for admiration should be ready to face the criticism too!
	337
	One should abandon An unlawful act However grand it may be, just like the snake that sheds its sheath as it wears out. Lest it would be deadly.
	338
	Victory through unlawful means, Miserliness of a king, An imprisoning a man of wisdom, are unparalleled acts of evil.
	339
	Self-praise, Disinclination to serve, and thoughtless action arise out of utter ignorance.
	340
	To the self-transforming aspirants, the following are the obstacles: laziness, pride, mistake, fickle-mindedness, non-adaptability, arrogance, and miserliness (possessiveness).
	341
	To the one who seeks wisdom/ comfort should be secondary. To the one who seeks comfort/ wisdom is beyond reach. Wisdom and personal comfort do not move hand in hand.
	342
	Avarice destroys peace and poise. Time destroys the body. Anger destroys wealth. Miserliness destroys reputation. Lack of surveillance destroys cattle. The anger of the righteous destroys a nation.
	343
	Manu Vaivasvata* recommends the following to be held by the householder: I) cattle, II) sandalwood, III) Veena,** IV) mirror, V) honey, VI) ghee,*** VII) metal, VIII) copper vessel, IX) conch, X) sacred stone, XI) cow dung. They are auspicious for use during the worship of Devas, Initiates, and guests.   * Vaivasvata: the Manu of the 5th Root-race. ** Vina or Veena: musical instrument. ***Ghi or Ghee: clarified butter.
	344
	Do not abandon the Law for the sake of desire, fear, possessiveness, and even for the sake of life.
	345
	The Law and the Soul are eternal. Associate with the Law, and be in Soul awareness. It gives contentment and plenitude. Disassociation with the Law detaches you from the Soul, and imprisons you in the fabric of Creation.
	346
	The King of glory pass on, leaving the kingdoms and the glory. The wealthy too pass on, leaving behind the wealth for others' enjoyment. The householder also passes on, leaving behind the kith and kin. All that the individual carries with him is the merit or demerit of his actions as seeds for future experience.
	347
	Beyond the mind there is the world of light. Below the mind there is the world of magical illusion. Mind has access to either of the two worlds. Appropriate use of mind and senses enables one to be in light. Otherwise, illusion prevails.
	348
	The individual life is like that of a sacred river. The individual is Truth represented. Truth is like the ocean. The quality of Truth is stability. The river joining the ocean becomes stable. So too, the individual joining the Truth, gains stability.
	349
	Consult the Law, the conscience, and the Teacher before you embark upon significant actions.
	350
	Protect the stomach and the genitals with will. Protect the body with the eye. Protect the eye and the ear with the mind. Protect the mind and the speech with acts of goodwill.
	351
	There is no fall for the aspirant that bathes daily, prays punctually, studies Scriptures regularly, eats not unholy food, speaks truth, and serves goodwill.
	352
	Sacrifice for the welfare of the meek and the weak, for the sake of the Law, and for the sake of the righteous, leads one to the realms of light.
	353
	Intelligent utilization of resources through business for the good of the society enables the businessman to walk into the realms of light.
	354
	The employed that serves the society in variety also treads the path to light by serving the society through employment.
	355
	Welfare is the keynote of activity in Creation. Let welfare of beings prevail in all walks of your life. You are then bound to be in light.
	356
	Let not malice overtake you. Let not worldly profits tempt you to unlawful ways. Let welfare prevail. Let light prevail.
	357
	Be virtuous for your sake. Do not market them.
	358
	It is wise to resign from the work that breeds conflict, and inflicts the worker, however splendours the work is.
	359
	If one is to choose between the Law and the life, better choose the former to the latter. Life devoid of Law is unworthy of living.
	360
	Uphold the Law in Creation. The Law upholds you at the levels of Creation. The Law is the Lord in Creation. The Lord exists as the Law (Dhanna) in Creation. Follow the Law and visualize the Lord.
