Those who are pure in mind, striving through the path of renunciation (tyaga), come to ascertain clearly the deeper imports of the knowledge, which is the theme of Upanishads (Vedanta); they in the end, gain the world of Brahma, and liberating themselves from everything gain the highest immortality.

Not by work, nor by progeny, nor by wealth, but by renunciation (tyaga) alone, immortaility is attained. Higher than heaven, seated in the cave of intellect, It shines, which the seekers attain.

He who eats after entertaining guests (atithi) will reap a harvest even without sowing the fields.

He who receives guests (atithi) one after another will be an honoured guest in heaven.

On seeing the cold look of the host, the face of the guests (atithi) withers like the anicham (a delicate sensitive flower) that withers when smelt.

It is better to speak nice words (Vani) with a sweet smiling face than giving gracious gifts.

Useful, courteous, and pleasant words (Vani) bring happiness and prosperity.

There is scope even for those who have killed every virtue but not for those who have killed gratitude.

By remembering one help rendered, even a dreadful harm is forgotten.

Loss and gain are quite natural in life. But a balanced (samyak) mind is the ornament of the great.
