Commentary:
Whether one is an ordinary human or even a divine being like Nārāyaṇa, once bound by the laws of nature and born on this earth, they are subject to death. No one is beyond it. In daily life, this reminds us to accept the certainty of death with awareness and humility, rather than live in denial or pride. It encourages letting go of arrogance, valuing time, and living meaningfully—because no status, power, or identity can escape the truth of mortality. Remembering this truth can help us live more honestly, kindly, and purposefully.

Meaning:
For a door to be locked, it needs things like latches, bolts, and keys (dalupulu, gaḍiyalu), just as speech must be supported by reason and discipline (nōṭi koppugala niyatulu). In the same way, when a person speaks with a deep understanding of dharma (righteousness or moral order), that person is truly blessed in this world. Vemana emphasizes that just as a lock works only with proper parts, words gain value only when backed by knowledge, truth, and self-control. Mere speaking is not enough—wise, dharmic speech is what makes one truly honorable.

Commentary:
Just as a door needs proper locks, bolts, and keys to be secure, our speech must also be supported by restraint, discipline, and understanding. Speaking without control or knowledge is like a door without protection—open to harm and confusion. In daily life, this means that one should think before speaking, and ensure that words are rooted in truth and dharma (righteousness). A person who understands this and speaks wisely is truly blessed. It reminds us to use our words carefully, with awareness of their impact, making our speech a tool for harmony and truth.

Meaning:
The Brahma ghaṭam (sacred ritual pot) is considered holy in rituals, but to be truly sacred, it must contain life-force (prāṇa). People decorate it with mango leaves, sun and moon symbols, and draw eyes on it, treating it as divine. But Vemana asks—if life itself is said to be Brahman (the Supreme), then why don't we see the same sacredness in living beings as we do in that pot?

Commentary:
He questions ritual hypocrisy: we worship lifeless symbols with grandeur, but fail to recognize the divinity within living beings. The real holiness lies not in outer decoration, but in realizing the presence of Brahman in the living Self. True spirituality, Vemana says, lies in seeing that divinity in all life, not just in lifeless ritual objects.

This teaches that outer decoration or appearance has no value without inner essence or spirit. Just as we honor a lifeless object through ritual, we often forget to recognize the divinity in living beings, especially in ourselves and others. It reminds us to see the sacred in life itself, not just in symbols, and to value inner vitality, sincerity, and awareness over external show.

Meaning:
Some people talk loudly about being a yogi, but they don’t truly practice yoga—instead, they roam around the world, exploiting it, destroying and consuming everything for their own gain. They may look simple or spiritual on the outside, but inside, they are only chasing wealth and selfish desires. Vemana says, even if such a person appears calm or humble, he is not a true yogi.

Commentary:
A real yogi is one who has given up greed, lives with inner detachment, and doesn’t harm or exploit others. Vemana exposes hypocrisy here: yoga is not in appearance or words—it is in one’s actions, self-restraint, and purity of heart.

Meaning:
Just as a beam (kaadhaaramu) supports only half a roof tile (ardha yaMkaNamuna), and yet holds it up at the edge of the roof (yoMTimēda), some people in this world are praised and treated as great leaders or gurus, even if they are not truly worthy. Vemana sarcastically says—just having a bit of support or position doesn’t make one genuinely great.

Commentary:
He points out the hollow leadership seen in society—even someone with no real substance or wisdom (niMTikoka magaMDe) can end up being the head of a household or a community (yillaaMDrunEdguru). The verse is a sharp reminder to not mistake outer roles or positions for true inner worth—real guidance comes from depth, not just title or status.

Meaning:
Among all forms of charity, giving food (annadānamu) is the greatest wealth. One who gives food generously becomes respected even in the world of Yama (the god of death), earning honor beyond this life. Vemana says—food is not just nourishment; it is Brahman itself, the divine essence. Yet, many people fail to recognize this sacred truth.

Commentary:
Through this, Vemana emphasizes that feeding the hungry is the highest form of service, because food sustains life, which is the very embodiment of the Divine. To give food with love is to worship God in living beings—a simple yet profound spiritual act.

Meaning:
A servant (boMdi) cannot use his master's wealth (yevari sommu) to support others—it doesn't belong to him. In the same way, how can you offer your devotion (bhakti) using a life (prāṇa) or body that truly belongs to God? Even wealth (dhanamu) doesn't really belong to us—it is God's wealth, and the only thing that is truly ours is our righteous conduct (dharma).

Commentary:
Vemana beautifully points out that everything we think we own—our body, wealth, even life—is not truly ours. Only our actions rooted in dharma are our real possessions. So, instead of showing off borrowed devotion or charity, one must live with genuine righteousness, recognizing that we are caretakers, not owners, in this world.

Meaning:
Just as a tree or plant is valued for the fruit it produces, in the same way, the world gains meaning through the fruits of one’s actions and inner realization. Even the highest truth (parama nijaṁ) is understood only through the fruit of deep spiritual experience. Vemana points to Prahlāda, who was born in a demon family but became a great devotee of the Lord—showing that it’s not one’s birth or background that matters, but the inner fruit of devotion and truth. True greatness lies in what one becomes, not where one comes from.

Commentary:
In daily life, this teaches that what truly defines us is not our background, appearance, or status, but our inner character, actions, and values. It encourages us to focus on cultivating goodness within, because ultimately, the fruit we produce is what gives our life meaning and worth.

Meaning:
What is the use of all austerity and penance (tapamu) if one cannot even treat women (dhatri janulu)—who are also creations of God—with respect and equality? If a person’s heart is not pure and they look at women with a crooked or impure mind, then even seeing Lord Śiva cannot bring any true spiritual merit.

Commentary:
Vemana says, true inner discipline lies in having a clean and respectful mind, especially toward women. Without that, no amount of spiritual practice has any real value.

Meaning:
When a person lacks good qualities in themselves, but still praises others insincerely, their words are empty and superficial. Such a person may speak sweetly about someone else’s virtues, but in their mind they carry jealousy or judgment. And when they don’t truly understand the goodness in another, especially a virtuous girl (kanyuni), and still go on to blame or criticize her unjustly, that person is truly worthless, says Vemana.

Commentary:
In essence, Vemana warns against hypocrisy and false praise. If one doesn’t have goodness within, and cannot genuinely recognize or respect it in others, their criticism has no value. True virtue comes from sincerity both in thought and action.

Meaning:
Just as you cannot tie water in a net, or see your reflection in muddy water, in the same way, the true Self (ātma) cannot be known through restless or impure means. The root cause of not realizing the Self is a disturbed, unclear mind. Only when the mind becomes calm, pure, and inwardly collected—like clear water reflecting the sky—can one experience the complete and blissful Self (poornamu naMduraa).

Commentary:
Vemana reminds us that spiritual realization is not possible through outward struggle or agitation; it arises only in a mind that is still, pure, and focused, just like still water reveals its depths.

Meaning:
True yogic bliss can only be attained when a person completely lets go of caste and religious divisions. If someone still holds on to caste pride or uses religion to justify social hierarchies, their so-called righteousness is false and self-serving. Vemana reminds us that real spirituality goes beyond man-made labels like jāti (caste) and matamu (religion). As long as one clings to these divisions, they cannot reach true inner peace or liberation. Only by seeing all as equal and shedding ego can one truly walk the spiritual path.

Commentary:
It reminds us that true spirituality is inclusive, rooted in compassion and oneness, not in separation. By letting go of ego tied to caste or creed, we open ourselves to inner peace, harmony, and genuine spiritual growth.

Meaning:
The idea of “you are you” and “I am I” comes only from the way our mind is conditioned to think—it’s just a habit of separation. But when we deeply understand the true essence behind these thoughts, we realize that there is no real difference between self and others. The division is false, created by thought. Once this is seen clearly, the sense of separation fades, and one perceives only the Supreme Oneness.

Commentary:
Vemana teaches that true realization lies in seeing beyond duality, where only the one Self exists.

Meaning:
This verse questions the sincerity of outward devotion when the inner self is still impure. Vemana asks—how can someone dive into water and stay dry, or walk over treasure and not feel its weight? Likewise, how can a person truly bow in devotion when the mind is full of desires, deceit, and impurities? He reminds us that real spirituality cannot arise from a heart filled with hypocrisy or ego. Without inner purity and honesty, all external worship or rituals are meaningless. True devotion begins with cleansing the heart.

Commentary:
This means that outer acts of worship or respect are meaningless without inner sincerity. To live spiritually and truthfully, one must first cleanse the mind and heart, letting go of hypocrisy and cultivating genuine humility and purity within.

Meaning:
From the five-faced Lord (pañcha-mukha)—a form of Śiva—arose the sacred pañchākṣari mantra ("Namah Śivāya"), and from that emerged the five elements or colors (pañcha varṇamulu) that make up the entire world. This means the whole universe is born from and sustained by that divine source. Yet people often try to go beyond or ignore that supreme reality, getting lost in superficial displays or ego.

Commentary:
Vemana reminds us that everything originates from the Divine, especially from the powerful mantra and form of the five-faced Lord, and to honor that source is to align with truth. Trying to go beyond it, or forgetting it in pride or performance, is a loss of spiritual direction.

Meaning:
When ghee and butter are melted together and kept in the same container, after a while they separate naturally—one rises, the other settles. Similarly, even if people live closely and mix outwardly, their true nature (guṇa) will eventually reveal itself. Just as milk and water separate when boiled, a person’s real qualities cannot stay hidden forever.

Commentary:
Vemana teaches that no matter how much someone pretends or blends in, with time, their inner truth will emerge. So it’s important not to be deceived by appearances—true character always reveals itself, especially under pressure.

Meaning:
The human body is like a clay pot placed over a flame—fragile and temporary. It may perish at any moment. But the Self (ātma) does not die; it is eternal. Just as space (gaganaṁ) remains the same, no matter how many pots are broken, the spirit remains unchanged, even as bodies come and go. Vemana highlights the difference between the perishable body and the imperishable soul.

Commentary:
This verse teaches us to not overly identify with the body, which is bound to decay, but instead to recognize and live from the awareness of the eternal Self within. In daily life, this helps reduce fear of death, ego, and attachment to physical appearance or material status. It encourages living with spiritual awareness, humility, and focus on what truly lasts—our inner nature, not outer form. Such understanding brings peace, clarity, and detachment amidst the changing experiences of life.

Meaning:
People search for the Supreme Being (Paramātma) in fire altars, metallic idols, dark caves, stone statues, and painted images on walls, thinking divinity exists only there. But Vemana questions—can one truly find the Paramātma in such external forms without knowing the Divine within oneself? The verse suggests that God is not limited to lifeless objects or external symbols, but is to be realized through inner understanding.

Commentary:
Rather than getting caught up in ritualistic worship or symbolic representations, focus should be on inner discovery and self-realization. True devotion comes not from merely bowing to statues, but from purifying the mind and heart. By turning inward, reflecting on one’s own nature, and living with sincerity, compassion, and awareness, one begins to recognize the divine presence within all beings, including oneself. This shift from outer form to inner essence is the path to real spiritual growth.

Meaning:
Even if just for a moment (nimiShaṁ), if the mind becomes still and pure, and the distinction between the individual self (jīva) and the supreme (liṅga or Śiva) dissolves, that moment becomes a true act of worship. Without disturbance or distraction, when such unity is experienced, the highest spiritual state (pūrṇa padavi) is attained. Vemana emphasizes that the essence of worship lies in inner stillness and realization, not in external rituals alone.

Commentary:
True spiritual progress begins when the mind becomes calm and free from restlessness. Even a single moment of deep inner silence, where ego dissolves and oneness is felt, has more value than hours of distracted ritual. Cultivating such stillness through regular reflection, meditation, or mindful action helps bridge the gap between the personal and the divine. When thoughts quieten and clarity shines, the sacred naturally enters our life—not through outer forms, but through inner realization.

Meaning:
Just as clouds and smoke may temporarily cover the vast sky, but cannot truly stain or affect it, the Supreme Lord Śiva, who is pure and ever-present, remains untouched by worldly impurities. Though unseen by ordinary eyes due to illusion or ignorance, He shines within all beings, waiting to be realized. Vemana explains that the divine is not absent; it is simply hidden by the clouds of ego, desire, and ignorance.

Commentary:
Temporary distractions, emotional turbulence, or ignorance may cloud awareness, but the divine presence within remains untouched and constant. Rather than getting overwhelmed by external confusion or inner negativity, it helps to remember that behind it all lies unchanging clarity. By cultivating self-awareness, patience, and removing the layers of illusion through practice and understanding, the divine within can shine forth clearly, just like the sky becomes visible once the clouds pass.

Meaning:
Just as 𑌪𑌗𑌲𑍁 (day) and 𑌰𑍍ā𑌤𑍍𑌰𑌿 (night) alternate without pause, and 𑌜𑌨𑍍𑌮𑌂𑌬𑍁𑌲𑍍 (births) come and go through karmic cycles, people get caught in the loop of 𑌭𑍍ō𑌗𑌮𑍁 (worldly pleasures) and forget their true nature. All this is driven by the play of the 𑌤𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌗𑍁ṇ𑌅𑌂𑌬𑍁—sattva, rajas, and tamas. Vemana says that only when one walks beyond these three guṇas can one reach 𑌮𑍁𑌕𑍍𑌤𑌿, the path to liberation.

Commentary:
Everything we experience—pleasure, pain, birth, status—keeps shifting like day and night, making it unwise to cling to any of it. The more we chase enjoyment or get stuck in restlessness and ignorance, the more we stay trapped in cycles of desire and sorrow. Real peace comes when one observes these tendencies without getting pulled by them, choosing balance and self-awareness. Stepping beyond the influence of the three qualities leads to inner freedom and clarity, which is the true path to liberation.

Meaning:
When 𑌪𑍍ā𑌲𑍁 (milk) and 𑌨𑍍īṭ𑌇 (water) are mixed together, a 𑌪𑌰𑌮𑌹ṁ𑌸 (realized soul or swan) is said to separate them, drinking only the milk and leaving the water. Similarly, those who are truly wise can distinguish between truth and illusion, essence and superficiality. But if a person is 𑌲𑌜𑍍𑌜𑍁𑌦 (shameless) and 𑌹𑍍ī𑌨𑍁𑌦 (morally low), how can they ever recognize the divine Ś𑌇𑌵 or attain spiritual truth?

Commentary:
To perceive truth, one must develop inner purity and discernment, just like a swan that can separate milk from water. Those driven by ego, selfishness, or lack of moral sensitivity remain blind to higher realities. Cultivating humility, sincerity, and a clean heart enables one to recognize what is real and sacred amidst the distractions of daily life. Without these qualities, even the presence of the divine goes unnoticed, just as a shallow person fails to see the deeper meaning in life.

Meaning:
There is truly no such thing as being 𑌪𑍁ṭṭ𑌉 (born) or not born, because all people on this earth are caught in the illusion of beginnings and endings. No one has clearly seen who came before or where exactly anyone originates from. All ideas of 𑌪𑍁ṭṭ𑌇 𑌗𑌿ṭṭ𑌉 (birth and afterlife) are shaped by belief and confusion, not by direct understanding. Vemana calls these 𑌵ṭṭ𑌇 𑌭𑍍𑌰𑍍ā𑌂𑌤𑍁𑌲𑍁—mere illusions or cycles of misunderstanding.

Commentary:
Many get entangled in questions of where they came from or what happens after death, often leading to fear, pride, or rigid beliefs. Instead of wasting energy on unprovable speculations, focus should be on living fully and wisely in the present moment. Recognizing that birth and death are part of a mysterious cycle we don’t fully grasp can lead to greater humility, compassion, and a deeper urge to seek inner clarity rather than external answers. Letting go of obsession with origin or end helps us live more peacefully and purposefully.

Meaning:
A person who lives with pride or enjoyment based on 𑌪𑌰𑍁𑌲 𑌵𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌤𑌮𑍁 (other people’s wealth) is trapped in deep illusion (𑌭𑍍𑌰𑍍ā𑌂𑌤𑌿), even if he appears outwardly virtuous. Though such a person may be seen as a 𑌪𑍁ṇ𑌯 𑌮𑍍ū𑌰𑍍𑌤𑌿 (embodiment of merit), using or misusing someone else's property or earnings unknowingly gathers 𑌪𑍍ā𑌪 𑌸ñ𑌚𑌿𑌤𑌮𑌗𑍁 (a store of sin). Vemana warns that true purity cannot come from living on what does not rightfully belong to you.

Commentary:
Taking pride or comfort in resources that are not honestly earned—whether wealth, credit, or status—leads to inner imbalance and unseen consequences. Even if society admires such a person, their actions carry hidden debt. Living with integrity means respecting what is yours and not exploiting what belongs to others. Genuine merit comes from honesty, self-effort, and humility, not from living off others while appearing righteous.

Meaning:
A person who gives up their 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑍍āṇ𑌅𑌮𑍁 (life) for the sake of 𑌪𑌰𑌧𑌨𑌂𑌬𑍁 (others’ wealth), who engages in false speech instead of truth, and who indulges in immoral relationships like 𑌜𑍍ā𑌰 𑌦𑌗𑍁𑌨𑍁 (adultery), can never gain the radiant purity associated with noble or learned souls (𑌦𑍍𑌵𑌿𑌜𑍁𑌲𑌮𑌂𑌚𑍁 𑌨𑌿ṁ𑌤𑍍𑌰𑍁 𑌤𑍍ē𑌜). Vemana warns that without moral discipline, one cannot attain true inner strength or dignity.

Commentary:
Chasing after what doesn’t belong to us—whether it’s wealth, relationships, or power—weakens both character and peace of mind. When truth is abandoned and morality is compromised, even the most capable person loses their inner brilliance and respect. Strength and honor come from living with honesty, restraint, and clear values. Upholding truth and avoiding selfish temptation builds lasting dignity that cannot be shaken by outward success or failure.

Meaning:
A person may speak eloquently or even write about moral vows, but that doesn’t make them truly virtuous. What matters is the 𑌵𑍍𑌰𑍍ā𑌤 (vow or discipline) they actually live by, and the 𑌸𑍍ā𑌕𑍍ṣ𑌇 (inner witness) that knows the truth of their conduct. If someone takes a vow but breaks it due to inability or weakness, their failure becomes visible, and the true strength of their character is revealed. Vemana points out that living truthfully is greater than just speaking or writing about it.

Commentary:
Words and appearances can be deceiving if not backed by action. Integrity means living by one’s principles even when it’s difficult, not just declaring them. A person’s true worth is seen in whether they uphold their values when challenged. Holding to one’s word and discipline earns trust and respect, while breaking vows out of convenience shows lack of inner strength. Let actions speak louder than words, and let values guide behavior, not just conversation.

Meaning:
Even two ā𑌕𑌲𑍍𑌲𑍁 (fraudsters or liars) can skillfully pretend to speak like 𑌨𑍍ī𑌲𑌕ṇṭ𑌹𑍁𑌲𑍁 (the blue-throated Śiva, a symbol of truth and divinity), making their lies sound like truth. When people speak falsehood with practiced style, it becomes hard to detect their 𑌨𑍍ī𑌤𑌿 𑌦𑌪𑍍𑌪𑍁 (flaws in moral conduct). However, when a person speaks genuine truth with sincerity, their inner nature—their real form or essence—shines through. Vemana reminds us that truth has a natural brilliance which cannot be imitated by falsehood for long.

Commentary:
Not everyone who speaks smoothly or uses spiritual language is honest; deception can often wear the mask of wisdom. It’s easy to be misled by appearance or polished speech. What truly reveals a person's worth is not how cleverly they speak, but whether their words match their actions and character. Speaking truthfully, even if simple or uncomfortable, creates trust and allows one’s true nature to be known and respected. Let truth, not style, define communication and character.

Meaning:
A person may have 𑌦ś𑌅𑌗ḷā𑌰𑍁 (ten types of relatives), 𑌦𑌮 𑌬ṁ𑌧𑍁𑌵𑍁 (close family), or 𑌲ṭ𑌅ṁḍ𑌰𑍁 (powerful protectors), but when the time comes, none of them can lessen even one part of the destined 𑌦ś𑌅𑌯𑍁 (fate or suffering). Whether one has wealth, influence, or strength, when the appointed 𑌦ś𑌅 (final moment or fate) arrives, all stand helpless. Vemana emphasizes that fate is inevitable, and nothing can change its course when it comes due.

Commentary:
Relying solely on family, wealth, or status gives a false sense of control. No matter how strong our support system is, there are moments in life—especially in suffering or death—where no one can intervene. Recognizing this helps develop humility, reduce attachment, and prepare the mind to face life with strength and balance. Instead of clinging to what is outside, focus should shift toward inner readiness and living with awareness that nothing external can shield us from our destined path.

Meaning:
When a task is done with 𑌤𑍍ā𑌮𑌸𑌮𑍍 (laziness or dullness), without care or attention, even the most important 𑌕𑌾𑌰𑍍𑌯ṁ𑌬𑍁 (work) becomes distorted and harmful. Just as a river flowing too fast becomes dangerous, rushing through tasks without patience or clarity leads to poor results. Trying to eat a raw bitter gourd without properly cooking it will only bring bitterness. Vemana uses these comparisons to show that actions done without the right mindset or process lead to failure or unpleasant outcomes.

Commentary:
Approaching important duties with a restless or careless attitude results in mistakes, waste, or regret. Rushing without preparation or being lazy when diligence is needed both spoil the outcome. Success requires clarity, patience, and right effort. Just like a bitter vegetable must be cooked to be enjoyed, work must be done with focus and proper timing. Cultivating mindful action and avoiding extremes of haste or sloth leads to better results and a more balanced life.

Meaning:
When 𑌧𑌨𑌮𑍁 (wealth) and 𑌸𑍁𑌖𑌮𑍁 (pleasure) are the only goals, people often divide even between 𑌤𑌲𑍍𑌲𑌿-𑌬𑌿ḍḍ𑌅𑌲𑍁 (mother and child), destroying natural love and closeness. Such attachment to material gain makes them lose their sense of connection and values. Though they think they are securing happiness, 𑌗ḍ𑌇ṁ𑌤𑍍𑌰𑍁 (fate) brings them into situations where 𑌘ṇ𑌅 𑌦𑍁ḥ𑌖𑌮𑍍 (intense sorrow) becomes unavoidable. Vemana reminds that prioritizing wealth over relationships leads only to regret.

Commentary:
Chasing wealth or comfort at the cost of human bonds—especially within family—creates inner emptiness and future pain. When love and trust are broken for money, what remains cannot bring lasting peace. True fulfillment lies in nurturing relationships with care, not sacrificing them for temporary gains. Placing values above greed ensures emotional stability, mutual respect, and long-term happiness that no amount of money can buy.

Meaning:$
No matter how many 𑌤𑌲𑍍𑌲𑌿-𑌦ṁḍ𑌰𑍁𑌲𑍁 (parents) one may have, the first true gurus are always the parents, as they give birth and shape the early life. Even 𑌫𑍍ā𑌰𑍍𑌵𑌤𑍍ī-𑌭𑍍𑌹𑌵𑍁 (Lord Śiva), known as the supreme teacher, joyfully accepts the role of a guru. Vemana warns that showing disrespect or betrayal toward one’s gurus—especially in the world where many serve as teachers—is a serious 𑌦𑍍𑌰𑍍ō𑌹𑌮𑍁 (wrong or sin).

Commentary:
Respecting those who guide us—be it parents, teachers, or mentors—is fundamental to personal growth and ethical living. Forgetting the debt owed to those who shaped our lives, or dishonoring them through arrogance or ingratitude, damages not only relationships but one’s inner integrity. Humility, reverence, and loyalty toward genuine guides keep us grounded, wise, and open to learning. Honoring the role of gurus ensures continued progress in knowledge, values, and self-awareness.

Meaning:
When an important 𑌕𑍍ā𑌰𑍍𑌯ṁ𑌬𑍁 (task) is done with 𑌤𑍍ā𑌮𑌸𑌮𑍍 (laziness, carelessness, or dullness), it loses its value and can even become harmful. A fast-flowing river that is not guided properly turns dangerous, just as uncontrolled speed ruins direction. Similarly, eating a 𑌪𑌚𑍍𑌚𑌿𑌕𑍍ā𑌯 (raw bitter gourd) without cooking it makes it bitter and unpleasant. Vemana uses these examples to show that anything done without right effort, patience, and understanding will not yield good 𑌫𑌲𑌮𑍍 (results).

Commentary:
Approaching work or decisions with impatience, negligence, or haste leads to poor outcomes, no matter how important the task is. True success comes from balancing enthusiasm with thoughtfulness. Just as a vegetable must be cooked to become tasty, effort must be refined with care and clarity. Rushing or dragging through responsibilities spoils both the process and the result. Cultivating awareness, discipline, and the right pace ensures that actions become meaningful and fruitful.

Meaning:
There is truly no definite beginning or end to 𑌪𑍁ṭṭ𑌉 (birth) and 𑌗𑌿ṭṭ𑌉 (death), as all people on this earth are caught in illusions about their origin. No one clearly knows who their exact 𑌪𑍍ū𑌰𑍍𑌵𑍁𑌲𑍁 (ancestors) were or where life truly started. All beliefs about birth, rebirth, and identity are part of ongoing 𑌵ṭṭ𑌇 𑌭𑍍𑌰𑍍ā𑌂𑌤𑍁𑌲𑍁—cycles of delusion and misunderstanding, shaped more by imagination than certainty.

Commentary:
Fixating on origins, family pride, or rigid beliefs about life and death leads only to confusion and division. Rather than being trapped by inherited identities or imagined beginnings, it is wiser to focus on present actions, clear understanding, and inner growth. Letting go of ego tied to birth or ancestry opens the door to equality, humility, and spiritual clarity. Living fully in the present, without the weight of imagined pasts, brings greater freedom and peace.

Meaning:
This vast 𑌭𑍂𑌮𑌿 (earth) is like an unmeasured 𑌦𑍍ē𑌬𑍇𑌲𑍁 (weighing scale) that cannot be enclosed or defined. In such an infinite and mysterious world, who truly knows what someone was at birth (𑌬𑍁ṭṭ𑌇) or what they become after death (𑌗𑌿ṭṭ𑌉)? The distinctions people make—based on birth, status, or end—are shallow. Can the 𑌚𑍇ḍ𑌅𑌲𑍁 (faults or sins) within birth be clearly labeled as belonging only to birth or to death?

Commentary:
Social divisions based on birth, labels of status or purity, and judgments about people’s lives are all meaningless in the face of life’s vast mystery. Rather than measuring others by their origin or end, it is wiser to cultivate understanding and compassion. Avoiding arrogance and seeing all as equal in the journey of life allows one to live with fairness, humility, and inner peace. What matters is not where one comes from or goes, but how one lives and acts in the space between.

Meaning:
A person is 𑌬𑍁ṭṭ𑌇 (born) in the 𑌲𑍍ō𑌕𑌮𑌂𑌦𑍁 (world), grows up in it, and lives entirely within its framework. Yet, unable to bear the 𑌲𑍍ō𑌕 𑌵𑌿𑌭𑌵𑌮𑍍 (wealth and grandeur of the world) rightly, he becomes greedy and falls into wrongdoing. Driven by 𑌲𑍍ō𑌭ṁ (desire), the same person who is a part of the world ends up harming both himself and others, losing his natural balance.

Commentary:
Human beings, though shaped by society and its offerings, often lose their way when they become consumed by greed. Instead of using worldly opportunities wisely, they crave more, compare constantly, and make unethical choices. The key is to live in the world with awareness, enjoy its gifts with restraint, and not let desire control the mind. Contentment and self-control protect one’s dignity and prevent the downfall caused by uncontrolled ambition.

Meaning:
A 𑌪𑍍ū𑌜 (act of worship) performed with heartfelt 𑌮𑌦𑌿 (intention or devotion) pleases even the 𑌮𑌦𑌨𑍍ā𑌰𑌿 (the Divine Mother or consort of Cupid), and yields meaningful results equal to the depth of the 𑌮𑌨𑌸𑍁 (mind) behind it. But a ritual done without genuine feeling or presence of mind is no better than offering a handful of mud—it carries no value. Vemana highlights that it is not the outer act, but the inner sincerity that makes worship meaningful.

Commentary:
Mechanical rituals or duties done without mindfulness and heart are hollow, no matter how grand they appear. True value lies in sincerity—whether in prayer, relationships, work, or daily actions. When attention and feeling are fully present, even the smallest act becomes sacred and impactful. Cultivating mindful presence and genuine intent brings depth and purpose to everything, while action without awareness becomes empty and ineffective.

Meaning:
When a person gives 𑌦𑍍ā𑌨𑌮𑍁 (charity), people may praise them, but often the one receiving it is 𑌬𑍂𑌨𑍁𑌦𑍁 (truly noble), because they give the donor a chance to practice goodness. If someone receives a gift with grace, and the donor behaves arrogantly or without humility, the true dignity lies with the receiver, not the giver. Even if the donor walks on a 𑌰𑍍āṇ𑌇 𑌪𑌧𑌮𑍍 (royal path), it is the receiver who is truly 𑌧𑌰𑍍𑌮𑌾𑌤𑍍𑌮𑍁𑌦𑍁 (righteous) when they maintain dignity and humility.

Commentary:
Charity should be offered with humility, not with pride or a sense of superiority. The one who accepts it gives an opportunity for the giver to practice virtue. Respecting those we help, recognizing their grace, and giving without ego brings true merit. Looking down on beneficiaries only empties the value of the act. Practicing kindness with respect, and seeing giving as mutual upliftment, cultivates compassion, balance, and true dharma.

Meaning:
When someone is filled with 𑌮𑌦𑌮𑍁 (pride or arrogance), they forget wise words they once knew or spoke, and fall into ignorance. They ignore the warnings of death (𑌮𑍍ṛ𑌤𑍍𑌯𑍁 𑌸𑌦𑍍𑌦𑍁𑌲𑍁), get deceived by illusions, and walk blindly into harm. A person who has such 𑌮𑍍ō𑌸𑌪𑍁𑌚𑍍𑌚𑌿 (deluded behavior) and becomes a 𑌕ṣṭ𑌹𑍁ḍ𑌉 (fool) due to pride—can such a one truly be called a 𑌗𑍁𑌰𑍁𑌵𑍁 (wise or respected person)? Vemana questions the worth of wisdom without humility.

Commentary:
Pride clouds judgment, weakens memory of truth, and distances a person from inner growth. No matter how much knowledge one may have, if ego takes over, it leads to downfall and deception. Real wisdom requires humility and awareness of life’s impermanence. Staying grounded, listening to truth with openness, and not letting success or learning inflate the ego keeps one on the right path. True leadership or guidance comes not from pride, but from clarity, compassion, and self-awareness.

Meaning:
The 𑌮𑌨𑌸𑍁 (mind) itself is the 𑌮𑍍ā𑌯𑍍ā 𑌮𑍍ṛ𑌉𑌗𑌮𑍁—the illusory deer we endlessly chase. What use is all mental effort if the mind keeps wandering outward and never turns inward? Unless the mind conquers itself, there is no true liberation. Vemana declares that only when one grasps the mind with the mind can one attain 𑌮𑍁𑌕𑍍𑌤𑌿 (liberation).

Commentary:
The restless mind constantly chases desires, thoughts, and illusions, pulling us away from peace. Trying to control the world without first understanding our own mind leads only to exhaustion. When attention turns inward and the mind observes itself, clarity begins to emerge. Training the mind through self-awareness, meditation, or mindful living allows one to overcome confusion and attachments. Mastery over the mind is the key to freedom, not external achievements.

Meaning:
People often chant a 𑌮𑌂𑌤𑍍𑌰𑌮𑍁 𑌓𑌕ṭ𑌇 and then go on to worship a different deity (𑌮𑌱𑌿 𑌦𑍍ē𑌵𑌤), thinking they are gaining spiritual merit for themselves. Others recite the 𑌵𑍍ē𑌦 𑌪ṭ𑌹𑌨 (Vedic hymns) only for show or status, not for genuine understanding or transformation. Vemana criticizes such practices, pointing out that they lead nowhere—those who engage in such misaligned or superficial rituals ultimately do not progress but remain spiritually stuck.

Commentary:
True spiritual practice requires sincerity, consistency, and alignment between thought, word, and action. Using mantras or sacred texts without understanding or with mixed motives only leads to confusion and self-deception. Genuine devotion comes from inner clarity, not external performance. To grow spiritually, one must approach practice with integrity—honoring what is chanted, understanding what is read, and living what is believed. Only then can transformation happen and the path become meaningful.

Meaning:
The so-called 𑌯𑍍ō𑌗𑌿 in a 𑌮ṭ𑌹𑌮𑍁 (monastery) may appear wise but could be deeply caught in 𑌮𑍍ā𑌯𑌲𑍁 (illusions). Just like a pot may contain only water, while looking heavy and full from the outside, one must recognize what’s truly within. Vemana questions how such a person—who speaks with impressive words but lacks true experience—can be called a 𑌗𑍁𑌰𑍁 (teacher). A true guru is one whose words arise from real understanding, not just outward learning or show.

Commentary:
Outward appearances, spiritual titles, or impressive speech do not guarantee true wisdom. Real understanding is recognized not by what someone wears or where they live, but by the depth and alignment of their actions, words, and inner clarity. Before placing trust in someone as a guide, observe whether their life reflects what they teach. True leadership and learning come from those who live with humility, insight, and freedom from illusion—not from those who merely perform the role.

Meaning:
When the time comes to depart from this world (𑌤𑌿𑌰𑌿𑌗𑌿 𑌵𑌚𑍍𑌚𑍁 𑌵𑍍ēḷ𑌅), there is no returning (𑌮𑌰𑌲𑌿 𑌪𑍍ō𑌯𑍇𑌦𑌿 𑌵𑍍ēḷ𑌅). At that moment, no amount of 𑌧𑌨𑌮𑍁 (wealth) or companions can follow along or offer help. Still, people spend their entire lives chasing wealth, thinking it gives them purpose. Vemana questions the wisdom of such a life, where one forgets mortality and clings to what cannot be taken beyond death.

Commentary:
Running behind wealth without awareness of life’s impermanence leads to regret. Money and possessions have their place, but they cannot accompany us when life ends. What truly matters is how we live, whom we serve, and what values we uphold. Prioritizing inner growth, kindness, and meaningful relationships over blind material pursuit brings lasting fulfillment. Recognizing the limits of wealth helps build a life rooted in balance, purpose, and deeper joy.

Meaning:
People are driven by endless āś𑌅𑌯𑌮𑍁 (desire), yet are unable to fully achieve what they long for. Pulled down by 𑌮𑍍ō𑌹 (attachment) and clouded 𑌬𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌿 (intellect), they sink deeper into worldly struggle. Even those who live in 𑌖𑍍āś𑌇 𑌵𑍍ā𑌸 (the sacred city of Kashi, considered a gateway to liberation) may not attain 𑌮𑍍ō𑌕𑍍ṣ𑌅𑌮𑍁 (liberation) if they remain bound by inner ignorance and craving. Vemana reminds us that mere physical presence in a holy place or spiritual setting doesn’t guarantee freedom.

Commentary:
Freedom from suffering comes not from where we live, but from how we think and act. Desires and attachments, when left unchecked, cloud the mind and prevent real peace. Even in the most sacred environments, one remains trapped if the heart is full of longing and confusion. True liberation begins with inner clarity, detachment, and self-understanding. Letting go of obsessive desires and cultivating awareness leads to real spiritual progress, regardless of external conditions.

Meaning:
When the 𑌚𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌤𑌮𑍁 (mind or inner will) becomes weak, even the natural world—𑌪𑍍𑌰𑌕𑍍ṛ𑌤𑌿—which once stood firm like a tree, begins to collapse. A strong tree falls only when its roots loosen, just as a grand 𑌗𑍍ō𑌰𑍍𑌕𑍁𑌲𑍁 (mansion or tall structure) collapses when its 𑌪𑍇𑌦𑍍𑌦𑌕𑍋𑌮𑍍𑌮𑌲𑍁 (main beams or supports) weaken. Vemana compares the fall of great things in nature and life to the collapse of a person's stability when their mind loses strength and clarity.

Commentary:
Mental strength is the foundation of resilience, purpose, and balanced living. When the mind becomes scattered, restless, or directionless, everything else—health, relationships, values—starts to weaken, no matter how strong they once seemed. Maintaining a clear, focused, and steady mind is essential for sustaining inner and outer stability. Just like a tree or building needs strong roots and support, life needs a well-grounded mind to stand tall through challenges. Nurturing the mind through reflection, discipline, and calmness strengthens the entire life structure.

Meaning:
One who does not get lost in 𑌭𑍍ō𑌗𑌂𑌬𑍁𑌲𑌨𑍁 (worldly pleasures), and who transcends the play of 𑌰𑍍ā𑌗-𑌦𑍍𑌵𑍍ēṣ𑌅ṁ𑌬𑍁 (attachment and hatred), quickly reaches the state of 𑌮𑍍ō𑌕𑍍ṣ𑌅 𑌪𑌦𑌮𑍁 (liberation). Vemana says the true 𑌯𑍍ō𑌗𑌿 is one who does not entertain 𑌰𑍍ā𑌗ṁ (craving) and lives without clinging to either desire or aversion.

Commentary:
Freedom and inner peace come when one rises above the pull of desires and dislikes. Pleasure, when chased endlessly, traps the mind; hatred binds just as strongly. Letting go of both allows the mind to become still, clear, and free. Real spiritual growth happens not by denying the world, but by engaging with it without obsession or repulsion. Cultivating balance, detachment, and equanimity in thought and action opens the path to lasting fulfillment.

Meaning:
Countless 𑌚𑌨𑍁𑌵𑍍ā𑌰𑍇𑌲𑍁 (noble souls) have taken birth in this world and lived lives of 𑌪𑍁ṇ𑌯 (merit) and 𑌸𑌤𑍍𑌕𑌥𑌲𑍁 (virtuous deeds and stories). But unless one makes the effort to 𑌵𑌿𑌨𑌵𑌲𑍇 (listen), 𑌗𑌨𑌵𑌲𑍇 (reflect), and 𑌮𑌨𑌵𑌲𑍇 (absorb and live by them), their greatness remains unknown. Vemana says even the most precious knowledge is useless to one who is 𑌮ś𑌉𑌲𑍁 (ignorant or unmindful), as it remains out of reach despite being available.

Commentary:
Wisdom and inspiration are all around—through the lives, words, and actions of noble people past and present. But without genuine interest, reflection, and application, such knowledge makes no impact. Just hearing about goodness is not enough; it must be received with attention, understood with the mind, and lived through action. Cultivating a mindset that seeks truth, values learning, and applies it in daily conduct transforms awareness into wisdom and life into a meaningful journey.

Meaning:
All people are bound and pulled by āś𑌅𑌯𑌮𑍁 (desire), like being tied with strong 𑌤𑍍𑌰𑍍ā𑌲𑍍𑌲 (ropes). Because of this bondage, they are unable to reach 𑌮𑍁𑌕𑍍𑌤𑌿 (liberation), no matter how close it may seem. Vemana asks—can’t one take up the 𑌜𑍍ñā𑌨 𑌖ḍ𑌗𑌮𑍁 (sword of knowledge) and cut through these bindings? The path to freedom is available, yet people remain entangled in craving.

Commentary:
Desire is the root cause of restlessness, suffering, and bondage. It disguises itself as ambition, pleasure, or even duty, silently tying the mind in knots. Only the sharp clarity of true knowledge—of the Self, impermanence, and detachment—can cut through these layers. Recognizing the grip of desire and cultivating insight through reflection and awareness is the key to inner freedom. Rather than being slaves to wants, becoming masters of the mind leads to peace, strength, and liberation.

Meaning:
When an 𑌅𑌤𑌿𑌥𑌿 (guest) arrives, some people hesitate to receive, delay in offering even basic respect, and finally give something only after much reluctance and discomfort. Their 𑌚𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌤𑌮𑍁 (mind) becomes hard and closed. Vemana points out that such people do not understand that 𑌧𑌰𑍍𑌮 (righteous conduct) must come before 𑌕𑌰𑍍𑌮 (mere action). Without the right intention and spirit, even an act of giving loses its virtue.

Commentary:
Hospitality and kindness should come from a genuine heart, not from social pressure or obligation. The value of any action lies in the intention behind it. Offering help grudgingly, or with ego, empties the act of its meaning. Approaching duties with openness, warmth, and humility transforms ordinary acts into true dharma. Practicing heartfelt generosity and honoring others with sincerity builds character and nurtures both human and spiritual connection.

Meaning:
A person assumes that whatever they desire should happen, and expects even others to act according to their own 𑌵𑌲𑌚𑌿𑌨 (wishes). But when things don't go as expected, they claim that the world is not cooperating. In truth, the world doesn’t move according to anyone’s 𑌤𑌾𑌵 (will). Vemana says that all such 𑌪ṭāṭō𑌪𑌂𑌬𑍁𑌲𑍁 (prideful displays) and personal 𑌮𑍍ā𑌯𑌲𑍁 (illusions) are useless—they hold no real power or value in this world.

Commentary:
Expecting the world or people to follow one’s desires leads only to frustration and arrogance. The belief that everything should bend to personal will is rooted in ego. True peace arises when one accepts that the world moves on its own rhythm, not by individual command. Letting go of pride and unrealistic control allows one to live with humility, patience, and balance. Adjusting to reality with understanding, rather than forcing it to fit one's mind, leads to wiser, more harmonious living.

A person may know how to 𑌮𑍍āṭ𑌅𑌲𑍍āḍ𑌅 𑌵𑌚𑍍𑌚𑍁 (speak well), but lacks a steady 𑌮𑌨𑌸𑍁 (mind or heart); may be able to 𑌤𑍇𑌲𑍁𑌪 𑌵𑌚𑍍𑌚𑍁 (teach) something, yet not truly 𑌤𑍇𑌲𑌿𑌯𑌲𑍍ē𑌦𑍁 (understand) it within. Just as someone may wear royal robes like 𑌸𑍁𑌰𑌿𑌯𑌬ṭṭ𑌅, that alone doesn’t make them a 𑌸𑍍ū𑌰𑍁ḍ𑌉 (king). Vemana highlights the gap between outer display and inner reality, urging us to recognize true worth beyond surface appearances.

Commentary:
Fluent speech, outer knowledge, or impressive appearance mean little without genuine understanding, inner stability, or true character. It is easy to perform or pretend, but real value lies in what one truly knows, lives, and embodies. Speaking truthfully, understanding deeply, and acting with authenticity make a person trustworthy and wise. Avoid being deceived by appearances—seek and cultivate depth, sincerity, and substance within yourself and in others.

Meaning:
Whatever 𑌸𑍁𑌭𑌿𑌕𑍍ṣ𑌅𑌮𑍁 (prosperity) or 𑌭𑌗𑌂𑌬𑍁 (fortune) one experiences comes only when the time is right for them (𑌤𑌨𑌕𑍍ē 𑌨𑍍āḍ𑌉). Until that destined moment arrives, no matter what efforts are made, it may not materialize. Vemana emphasizes that everything unfolds according to one’s own 𑌦ś𑌅𑌕𑍈 (timing or fate), and it is best to live with awareness and patience in the heart, accepting that all things come in their time.

Commentary:
Forcing outcomes or comparing one’s journey with others only leads to frustration. Each person’s life unfolds at its own pace, and trusting that allows for peace of mind. Effort should be sincere, but without anxiety or greed for immediate results. Cultivating patience and inner acceptance helps reduce mental agitation and builds quiet confidence. True wisdom lies in doing one’s best while trusting that results will come when the moment is right.

Meaning:
A 𑌨𑍋𑌕ṭ𑌅 ḍ𑌅𑌵𑌿𑌨𑌿 (small bitter fruit) might grow even on a tree that once bore the sacred 𑌨𑌂𑌦𑌗𑍍𑌨𑌿 (sacrificial fire). Similarly, even in a respected 𑌵ṁś𑌅𑌮𑍁 (lineage of wise and virtuous people), a single person with 𑌦ṇḍ𑌇 (cruel or wicked) nature can be born. Vemana observes that despite the nobility of one's background, a 𑌚ṇḍā𑌲𑍁 (person of fierce, ignorant temperament) can arise, behaving in opposition to the family's values.

Commentary:
Lineage, heritage, or family reputation do not automatically define a person’s character. One’s actions and choices determine their true worth, not the family they are born into. Pride in ancestry is hollow without personal virtue. Cultivating humility, learning, and right conduct matters more than clinging to inherited identity. This awareness encourages self-responsibility and reminds us that every individual must earn their own respect through character, not lineage.

Meaning:
Even if a wise and noble person (𑌸𑍁𑌜𑌿𑌨𑍁ḍ𑌉) clearly knows the 𑌨𑌿𑌜𑌮𑍁 (truth), they must speak it only when appropriate and not just to please others (𑌪𑌰𑍁𑌲𑌕𑍋𑌰𑌕𑍁). If speaking the truth leads to unnecessary conflict, pain, or harm, it is better to endure silently than to speak just for the sake of it. Vemana says that truth should not be forced if it serves no good, even if one must suffer or sacrifice for withholding it.

Commentary:
Truth is sacred, but its expression requires wisdom and timing. Blunt or ill-timed truth can hurt more than heal. Speaking with compassion, discretion, and purpose ensures that words uplift rather than harm. Sometimes, remaining silent is wiser than speaking what one knows, especially when truth may cause more damage than benefit. Practicing mindful speech, guided by empathy and context, preserves harmony and reflects deeper understanding.

Meaning:
When someone gives 𑌦𑍍ā𑌨𑌮𑍁 (charity), people often admire the donor, but sometimes the 𑌬𑍂𑌨𑍁𑌦𑍁 (receiver) is the one truly noble, especially if the gift is accepted with dignity and calmness. If the donor shows pride and lacks humility, then even if they walk on a royal path (𑌰𑍍ā𑌨𑌿 𑌪𑌧𑌮𑍁), the real 𑌧𑌰𑍍𑌮𑌾𑌤𑍍𑌮𑍁ḍ𑌉 (virtuous person) is the one who maintains grace while receiving. Vemana reminds us that goodness lies not just in giving, but in how both giver and receiver behave.

Commentary:
Giving should be done with humility, not arrogance. A gift offered with pride loses its true value, while a receiver who maintains self-respect and gratitude reflects real strength. Recognizing that charity is meaningful only when done with respect and compassion encourages generous yet humble action. Equally, receiving with dignity without exploitation or entitlement honors the spirit of giving. True virtue lies in mutual respect and the absence of ego in both roles.

Meaning:
A person may hear but not truly listen (𑌵𑌿𑌨𑌿𑌯𑍁 𑌵𑌿𑌨𑌕𑌯𑍁𑌂𑌡𑍁), or see but not truly perceive (𑌕𑌨𑌿𑌯𑍁 𑌗𑌨𑌕𑌯𑍁𑌂𑌡𑍁), and may appear to think but lack real reflection (𑌤𑌲𑌚𑌿 𑌤𑌲𑌪𑌕𑍁𑌂𑌡𑍁). Such a person is not a true 𑌯𑍍ō𑌗𑌿, even if they receive admiration or worship from others (𑌮ṇ𑌇 𑌪𑍍ū𑌜 𑌗𑍋𑌨𑍁𑌚𑍁𑌂𑌡𑍁). Vemana criticizes shallow behavior that mimics wisdom without genuine awareness.

Commentary:
Appearances of wisdom—like listening quietly, seeing deeply, or thinking silently—are empty if not backed by real attention and understanding. Merely acting wise or calm to gain respect from others leads to self-deception. True learning and spiritual growth come from sincere listening, mindful seeing, and deep reflection. Cultivating genuine awareness instead of imitating it builds character, clarity, and authenticity, which is far more valuable than public praise.

Meaning:
One who holds 𑌵𑍇𑌨𑍍𑌨 (butter) in hand but cannot distinguish or extract the 𑌘𑍍ṛ𑌉𑌤𑌮𑍁 (clarified butter or essence) is like someone who puts in effort with no understanding of the core. Similarly, a person who considers themselves divine but doesn’t truly contemplate or realize the divine (𑌦𑍈𑌵ṁ 𑌦𑌲𑌚𑍁𑌨𑍁) is deluded. Vemana points out that thinking oneself to be divine without grasping the deeper truth is shallow and misguided.

Commentary:
Knowing the outer form or claiming greatness is not enough; one must grasp the essence through understanding and introspection. Spirituality is not about labels or appearances but about realizing truth through sincere effort. Just as ghee must be carefully extracted from butter, true wisdom and divinity must be uncovered from within through reflection, humility, and clarity. Pretending or assuming spiritual status without depth leads nowhere; what matters is the inner realization, not outer show.

Meaning:
A person's 𑌰𑍍ū𑌪𑍁 (appearance) often gives rise to a 𑌪𑍍ē𑌰𑍁 (name), and over time, that name becomes firmly established. Based on that name, people begin to form expectations and assign 𑌕𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌯𑌲𑍁 (actions or roles). Vemana points out that as long as one is caught in 𑌨𑍍ā𑌮-𑌰𑍍ū𑌪-𑌕𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌯—the cycle of name, form, and action—they remain bound and cannot escape 𑌨𑍍āś𑌅𑌮𑍁 (destruction or impermanence).

Commentary:
Identifying too strongly with one’s name, looks, or societal roles leads to attachment and ego, keeping one trapped in illusion. These identities are temporary and ever-changing, and clinging to them causes suffering. Real freedom begins when one sees beyond superficial labels and realizes the changeless self within. Letting go of rigid self-images and roles helps cultivate humility, detachment, and a deeper sense of being, untouched by outer fluctuations.

Meaning:
When a person is driven by 𑌲𑍍ō𑌭𑌮𑍁 (greed), 𑌮𑍍ō𑌹𑌮𑍁 (attachment), and the influence of 𑌪𑍍𑌰𑍍ā𑌭𑌵𑌮𑍁𑌲𑍁 (ego or social power), even their thoughts and actions go astray, leading ultimately to downfall. Yet, if the mind focuses on just one thing with purity and devotion—especially on the 𑌦𑍈𑌵𑌮𑍁 (Divine)—then that very thought can elevate the person to a divine state. Vemana highlights the contrast between being scattered in desires and being centered in truth.

Commentary:
Greed, attachment, and ego cloud judgment, distort behavior, and pull the mind in many directions, causing confusion and suffering. But when the mind is focused, pure, and anchored in a single higher aim—whether truth, purpose, or the divine—it brings clarity, strength, and transformation. Centering the mind on what is essential, and letting go of distractions, leads to inner peace and spiritual growth. A focused, devoted mind is more powerful than a thousand scattered intentions.

Meaning:
It is śā𑌂𑌤𑌮𑍁 (calmness or inner peace) that truly conquers people and wins hearts, not aggression or argument. A true 𑌗𑍁𑌰𑍁𑌵𑍁 is known by their peaceful presence, not by loud words or displays. One who lacks this calm nature is still caught in 𑌜𑍍āḍ𑌅 (ignorance or dullness). Vemana reflects on the power and grace of a śā𑌂𑌤 𑌭𑍍ā𑌵 (peaceful state of mind), and wonders why people fail to recognize and cultivate it.

Commentary:
Inner calm has far greater influence than force or noise. A peaceful person brings clarity, strength, and respect without needing to assert power. Cultivating calmness in thought, speech, and action helps resolve conflicts, earn trust, and deepen understanding. When peace becomes one’s natural state, it transforms not only the individual but also those around them. Real strength lies not in domination, but in stillness and gentle presence.

Meaning:
One who constantly changes their 𑌵𑍍ēṣ𑌅ṁ (appearance or disguise) cannot be easily 𑌵𑌿ś𑌵𑌸𑌿ṁ𑌪 𑌗𑌰āḍ𑌉 (trusted), because such external displays often conceal deeper flaws. Even scriptures warn that relying solely on outer appearance leads to misjudgment. Vemana reminds us that even 𑌰𑍍ā𑌵ṇ𑌉, the great deceiver, once came in a saintly disguise—showing that a person’s outer look doesn’t always reflect their true nature.

Commentary:
Judging people by their dress, title, or outer conduct can lead to false trust and disappointment. Authenticity is not in appearance but in consistent, truthful behavior. Being mindful of who we trust, and valuing substance over show, protects us from deception. Likewise, we must avoid putting on false appearances ourselves to gain favor. Integrity, not image, builds lasting trust and respect in relationships and society.

Meaning:
Wearing 𑌇ṁ𑌗𑌲ṁ𑌬𑍁 (sacred ash) on the body, or associating with a 𑌸𑌲𑍍𑌪𑍁𑌤 (disciple or seeker), and even being close to saints, learned people, or the pious will not save one from death. Whether one keeps company with the noble (𑌪𑌰𑍁𑌨𑌿) or the fallen (𑌪𑌤𑌿𑌤𑍁𑌤𑍍ōḍ𑌅), or leads a life of enjoyment and ease, 𑌚𑌾𑌵𑍁 (death) is the inevitable 𑌮𑍍ū𑌲𑌮𑍁 (end) for all. Vemana stresses that no external mark or association can stop the certainty of mortality.

Commentary:
Mortality is universal—no appearance, association, or lifestyle can escape it. This truth urges us to look beyond outward forms and focus on inner growth. Living with awareness of death helps cultivate humility, reduce ego, and inspire meaningful action. Instead of relying on symbols or associations for spiritual identity, one should seek sincerity, self-reflection, and purpose. True spiritual strength lies not in whom we know or what we wear, but in how deeply we live with awareness, integrity, and detachment.

Meaning:
𑌐𑌕𑌮𑌤𑍍𑌯ṁ (unity or harmony) is the one essential strength that holds everything together. No matter how strong or powerful something may seem, without unity it cannot last. Vemana says that even a simple 𑌬𑍇ṭṭ𑌇 (twig) tied with dry 𑌗ḍḍ𑌇 (grass) can form a strong bundle if it’s bound with unity. Without it, even grand efforts fall apart.

Commentary:
The true strength of any group—be it family, community, or team—lies in mutual understanding and cooperation. Without unity, even the most capable people or plans collapse. Fostering shared purpose, respect, and collaboration brings lasting success and peace. Holding together through trust and humility transforms weakness into strength, proving that what binds people is more powerful than what separates them.

Meaning:
A significant 𑌕𑍍ā𑌰𑍍𑌯ṁ𑌬𑍁 (task) done with 𑌤𑍍ā𑌮𑌸𑌮𑍍 (laziness, dullness, or carelessness) loses its value and may even cause harm. A fast-moving river, if not properly guided, becomes dangerous. Likewise, trying to eat a 𑌪𑌚𑍍𑌚𑌿𑌕𑍍ā𑌯 (raw bitter gourd) without cooking makes it unpalatable. Vemana questions whether any meaningful 𑌫𑌲𑌮𑍍 (result) can come from such hasty, thoughtless effort.

Commentary:
Work done without the right mindset, discipline, and care leads to poor results or even damage. Hurrying through responsibilities without understanding or preparation spoils the outcome, just like consuming something raw without refining it. Success comes from thoughtful, steady action—where energy is balanced by clarity. Practicing patience, focus, and right timing in what we do not only improves results but also brings confidence and inner satisfaction. Quality effort is more important than rushed effort.

Meaning:
Some people, driven by the desire for 𑌧𑌨𑌮𑍁 (wealth) and 𑌸𑍁𑌖𑌮𑍁 (comfort), go so far as to create 𑌤𑌗𑌵𑍁 (conflict) between their own 𑌤𑌲𑍍𑌲𑌿-𑌬𑌿ḍḍ𑌅𑌲𑌕𑍁 (mother and children), disrupting natural love and harmony. They justify it by saying it's necessary for a better life. But 𑌗ḍ𑌇ṁ𑌤𑍍𑌰𑍁 (fate) brings such people into situations where they face deep, lasting 𑌦𑍁ḥ𑌖ṁ (sorrow). Vemana warns that harming close relationships for selfish gain leads only to suffering.

Commentary:
Sacrificing relationships, especially within the family, for money or personal gain ultimately causes pain and regret. Wealth acquired at the cost of love, trust, and connection loses its meaning. True well-being comes not just from what we earn, but from how we nurture bonds with sincerity and care. Prioritizing people over possessions, and love over greed, leads to lasting peace and fulfillment. Choices rooted in compassion build a life that is both meaningful and harmonious.

Meaning:
If 𑌮𑍍ō𑌕𑍍ṣ𑌅𑌮𑍁 (liberation) could be attained just by speaking like a thief (𑌦𑍋ṁ𑌗 𑌮𑍍āṭ𑌅𑌲𑍍āḍ𑌅), then even a deceiver would achieve the highest state. But words alone, without genuine action or 𑌚𑍍ē𑌤𑌗 (effort), are meaningless. A person may speak sweetly, but if their mind is filled with falsehood or arrogance, that speech becomes 𑌚𑍍ēṭ𑌉𑌦𑍇𑌚𑍍𑌚𑍁—useless and harmful. Vemana states that being a 𑌗𑍁𑌰𑍁𑌵𑍁 (teacher or leader) is not about position or speech, but about inner character and purity of mind.

Commentary:
Pretending to be wise or spiritual through clever talk, without sincerity or right conduct, leads nowhere. True respect and growth come from aligning words with values and actions. Speaking truthfully, living honestly, and purifying the mind are what define real wisdom. Titles and appearances are hollow unless supported by inner integrity. Choosing to be genuine rather than impressive creates a life of trust, peace, and deeper realization.

Meaning:
When a person sits among 𑌨𑌲𑍁𑌗𑍁𑌰𑍁 (a group of people), speaks with grace and humility, and shows 𑌦𑌲 (respect or gentleness), they are seen as 𑌧𑌨𑍍𑌯𑍁𑌦𑍁 (a blessed or noble person). But someone who acts rude or arrogant (𑌦𑌲𑌚𑍇ḍ𑌇 𑌯𑍍ā𑌤ḍ𑌉), yet pretends to be wise by constantly talking, is easily exposed. Vemana stresses that it’s not how much one speaks, but how one behaves and expresses themselves that reveals true character.

Commentary:
Respectful and thoughtful communication earns trust and admiration more than loud or boastful talk. Humility, kindness, and clarity in speech reflect maturity and depth. Speaking less but with meaning is far more powerful than dominating conversations without substance. Practicing gentle presence and choosing words with care helps build harmony, encourages understanding, and reveals true wisdom. Character is shown not in how much one says, but in how well they speak and treat others.

Meaning:
One who walks with pride (𑌨ḍ𑌉𑌚𑍁 𑌨𑌿𑌚𑍍𑌚𑍁 𑌨𑌤ṇ𑌇), dons fine clothes, and donates food generously (𑌕ḍ𑌉𑌪𑍁 𑌚𑌲𑍍𑌲 𑌜𑍍ē𑌸𑌿) may appear to be great in society. But if they lack 𑌨ḍ𑌉𑌪 𑌨𑍍ē𑌰—inner discipline, balance, and right conduct—they are not truly noble. Vemana points out that real greatness lies not in outer display but in the ability to walk the path of virtue with inner steadiness and 𑌨𑌤ḍ𑌉 𑌨𑍍ā𑌲𑌿 𑌮𑍁𑌚𑍍𑌚𑍍ē—true grace and humility.

Commentary:
Actions done for show, even charity or good conduct, lose their value without sincerity and inner balance. Outer appearance and public praise mean little if there’s no inner truth or discipline. True nobility is revealed through quiet humility, self-restraint, and consistent integrity. To live meaningfully, one must cultivate inner character along with outer deeds, ensuring that intentions and behavior remain pure and steady, regardless of praise or recognition.

Meaning:
A person who constantly talks excessively and boastfully (𑌪𑌦𑍁 𑌗𑍁𑌰𑍍āḍ𑌉 𑌮𑍍āṭ𑌅) loses 𑌧𑌰 𑌜𑍇𑌲𑍍𑌲𑍁—the weight and value of their words. On the other hand, one who speaks just a word or two (𑌓𑌕𑍍𑌕ḍāḍ𑌉 𑌮𑍍āṭ𑌅) at the right time, and with meaning, gains more respect. Vemana notes that society tends to disregard the one who speaks too much without depth, while a person of few, thoughtful words is valued and listened to.

Commentary:
Measured, meaningful speech carries more strength than constant chatter. When someone speaks with clarity and restraint, their words have greater impact and credibility. Too much talking often leads to misunderstanding, devaluation, or even ridicule. Practicing silence, thinking before speaking, and choosing one’s words with care helps preserve dignity, build trust, and convey wisdom. Power lies not in how much one says, but in how well one says it.

Meaning:
A bitter 𑌪𑌤𑌕 𑌮𑌂𑌦𑍁 (medicine) cures pain, tiny 𑌰𑌤𑍍𑌨𑌮𑍁𑌲𑍁 (gems) possess immense value, and soft, delicate 𑌬𑌂𑌗𑍍ā𑌰𑌂𑌦𑍁 (gold) carries significant weight. Vemana uses these metaphors to emphasize that true worth is not in outward appearance or volume but in inner quality. Just because something looks simple or is small in size, it doesn’t mean it lacks value—unlike 𑌇𑌤𑌰 𑌲𑍍ō𑌹𑌮𑍁 (ordinary metals), which may appear strong but lack preciousness.

Commentary:
Substance outweighs appearance. Quiet wisdom, subtle strength, and deep character may go unnoticed by the eye, but they hold far greater power and value than flashy exteriors or loud words. It's important to recognize true worth by looking deeper, whether in people, actions, or things. Cultivating internal virtues and appreciating the quiet strength in others leads to wiser choices and more meaningful relationships.

Meaning:
Merely worshipping many 𑌜𑌨𑍍𑌨𑌮𑍁𑌲𑍁 (deities) and offering endless respects to their 𑌜𑌨𑍍𑌨𑌿𑌯𑌲𑍁 (forms or symbols) is of no use if one does not live with righteousness. All such devotion is fruitless if not backed by moral conduct and inner purity. Vemana questions the value of outward ritual when 𑌨𑍍ī𑌤𑌿 (ethical behavior) is absent.

Commentary:
True devotion lies not in elaborate rituals or external worship, but in leading a life rooted in integrity and compassion. Without honesty, kindness, and righteous living, no amount of prayer or ceremonial offering carries meaning. The essence of spiritual practice is reflected in how one treats others, fulfills duties, and upholds truth. Practicing righteousness is the real worship.

Meaning:
Even if one speaks wrongly unintentionally or in haste, and even if the act was done carelessly without much thought, 𑌲𑌕𑍍𑌷𑍍𑌮𑍍ī (prosperity) will shrink away from such a person. Just as water cannot stay in a pot that has a hole in it, fortune cannot remain with someone who lacks purity in speech and action.

Commentary:
Careless or dishonest speech—even when not meant with malice—can erode trust and drive away good fortune. Words, once spoken, have power; and if used thoughtlessly, they bring unintended consequences. Maintaining integrity in speech and being mindful of one’s words helps preserve relationships, respect, and blessings. Like a vessel must be whole to hold water, a person must be sincere and careful in communication to retain grace and harmony in life.

Meaning:
If someone says, “The earth belongs to me,” the very 𑌭𑍂𑌮𑌿 (earth) laughs at that arrogance. When a miser boasts of charity, 𑌧𑌨𑌮𑍁 (wealth) mocks him. And when a coward talks proudly about valor, even his own 𑌕𑌾𑌲𑌮𑍁 (time of death or destiny) laughs at him. Vemana uses sharp irony to expose the hollowness of false claims and hypocrisy.

Commentary:
Arrogance, especially when not backed by genuine action or truth, leads to self-deception and public ridicule. One cannot truly own the earth, be praised for generosity without giving, or be called brave while living in fear. Humility, authenticity, and integrity are essential. Claims should align with character, and actions must reflect truth—only then can one earn respect and avoid becoming a subject of mockery by life itself.

Without the lamp of 𑌨𑍍ī𑌤𑌿 (righteousness), one cannot attain 𑌨𑌿𑌰𑍍𑌮𑌲𑌂𑌬𑌗𑍁 𑌨𑍍ē𑌦𑌿—true inner purity or clarity. No matter how much pride or power a person possesses, it is useless without virtue. Even if someone has great 𑌧𑌨𑌮𑍁 (wealth), they cannot attain or realize the divine without righteousness.

Commentary:
Wealth, status, or ego alone cannot lead a person to peace or spiritual fulfillment. What truly illuminates life is virtue—living with integrity, justice, and a clean heart. Like a lamp lights the path in darkness, righteousness guides one through confusion and suffering. Cultivating ethical behavior is essential, not just for worldly harmony, but for any hope of divine realization or lasting inner peace.

Meaning:
Even when a person attains 𑌗𑍍ō𑌪𑌮𑍁 (fame) or fulfills intense 𑌕𑍍ō𑌰𑍍𑌕𑍇𑌲𑍁 (desires), or is born in a 𑌬𑌰𑌜𑌨𑍍𑌮𑌂𑌪𑍁 (high caste), these alone do not grant liberation. Even deep 𑌭𑍍ē𑌦𑌮𑍁 (knowledge of distinctions) is not sufficient. Only when one rises above the influence of the 𑌤𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌗𑍁ṇ𑌅𑌮𑍁𑌲𑍁 (three qualities: sattva, rajas, tamas), can one attain firm 𑌮𑍁𑌕𑍍𑌤𑌿 (liberation).

Commentary:
Social status, intellectual ability, or fulfillment of worldly desires may bring temporary satisfaction, but they are not the path to lasting freedom or peace. True liberation comes when one transcends the pull of emotions, actions, and ignorance—the play of the three gunas. Detachment, self-awareness, and a steady mind rooted in truth lead one toward real spiritual stability.

Meaning:
A 𑌕𑍂𑌡𑍁 (meal) without 𑌪𑌪𑍍𑌪𑍁 (dal) is hard to eat and unappealing—just like a person who is not helpful to others. One who has no 𑌯𑍁𑌪𑍍𑌪𑍁 (humility or yielding nature) may appear strong, but lacks depth. But the one who lives without 𑌮𑍁𑌪𑍍𑌪𑍁 (arrogance or pride) is the true wise person—the 𑌸𑍁𑌜𑍍𑌨𑍍ā𑌨𑌿 in the fullest sense.

Commentary:
The verse emphasizes the value of inner character over outer appearances. A life without humility and service to others is empty, no matter how strong or powerful one appears. Real strength lies in gentleness, and real wisdom lies in the absence of pride. Just as food is incomplete without essential ingredients, human character is incomplete without kindness, humility, and selflessness.

Meaning:
One may diligently take care of 𑌪𑌰𑍁𑌲 𑌦𑌤𑍍𑌤𑌂 (property donated by others), but that does not grant the same satisfaction or merit as caring for what is genuinely earned or given to oneself—𑌸𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌤𑍍𑌤𑌂 (one’s own rightful share). However grand the other's donation may seem, it doesn’t bring true fulfillment or lasting value.

Commentary:
Taking responsibility for things that rightfully belong to you brings real contentment. Depending on or boasting about what others gave—whether property, power, or position—can never equate the value of what is earned or deserved through one’s own merit. Authenticity and rightful ownership bring true peace, while borrowed glory is shallow and impermanent.

Meaning:
When a person speaks 𑌨𑌿𑌜𑌮𑍁 (truth), the entire world often turns against them and criticizes them. The 𑌨𑍀𑌚𑍁𑌲𑍁 (low-minded people) especially cannot tolerate or accept the truth. Even a truly 𑌮𑌹𑌾𑌤𑍍𑌮 (great soul) must face hardship and isolation if they choose to stand firmly by truth and speak it fearlessly.

Commentary:
Upholding truth often invites resistance, misunderstanding, or even hostility, especially from those who feel threatened by it. Yet, it is a mark of greatness to remain firm in honesty despite opposition. Speaking the truth with courage is not always easy, but it is noble. One must be prepared to stand alone if necessary, for truth is rarely popular, but always powerful.

Meaning:
A person who speaks ten words casually and carelessly may stir up serious consequences in the world, while even a single sharp or harsh word can spread far and cause lasting damage. Yet, ironically, the one who spoke them feels no pain or responsibility for the hurt caused—𑌵𑍂𑌰𑌕𑍁𑌂𑌡𑍁 (he remains undisturbed), while others suffer.

Commentary:
Words have power—much more than we often realize. Careless or hurtful speech can deeply wound others, even if the speaker feels unaffected. It is important to speak mindfully, with awareness of the impact one’s words can have. Just because we escape the consequences doesn't mean the damage hasn't been done. True wisdom lies in thoughtful, compassionate communication.

Meaning:
One who praises others out of jealousy or with hidden bitterness in his heart—speaking artificially just for show—is a truly lowly person. Such a life, full of pretence and double-speak, is like a heap of ashes: worthless and devoid of true warmth or light.

Commentary:
Flattery or sweet words that come from a heart full of comparison, envy, or falsehood have no real value. Authenticity in speech and emotion is essential. Pretending to admire while secretly resenting not only corrupts one’s character but also makes life hollow. Honesty in appreciation and freedom from comparison bring dignity and peace to both speech and living.

Meaning:
Fear is natural to the body, which is perishable, but the firm resolve and fearlessness belong to the 𑌪𑌰𑌮𑌾𑌤𑍍𑌮 alone. The individual self (𑌜𑍀𑌵𑍁𑌦𑍁) is subject to dissolution (𑌲𑌯𑌮𑍁), whereas victory and permanence belong to the Supreme Self (𑌆𑌥𑍍𑌮). Hence, says Vemana, understand who truly wins in this world.

Commentary:
Fear and anxiety arise when we identify solely with the body and the ego-bound self. But true fearlessness emerges when one aligns with the inner self, the unchanging 𑌆𑌤𑍍𑌮𑌨𑍍, which is beyond decay and death. Recognizing this truth helps us face challenges with calm strength, knowing that the deepest part of us is untouched by worldly loss or fear.

Meaning:
When a person claims, “The earth is mine,” the earth silently mocks him, knowing that no one truly owns it. Wealth laughs at the miser who hoards and never gives. Time laughs at those who fear death and conflict, for it moves on unaffected. All these reveal the futility of ego and attachment.

Commentary:
Possessiveness, miserliness, and fear all stem from illusion. The earth, wealth, and time are indifferent to our claims and emotions—they persist, while we pass. Letting go of ownership pride, sharing generously, and facing life without fear brings wisdom and harmony with the natural order.

Meaning:
A person who speaks without listening is a fool. One who only listens but never speaks or expresses themselves cannot be called truly human. True communication and understanding happen only when both listening and speaking go hand in hand.

Commentary:
Effective communication is a balance between speaking and listening. Speaking without understanding others shows arrogance, while staying silent despite knowing the truth indicates passivity or fear. Wisdom lies in listening carefully and speaking thoughtfully—this balance leads to meaningful relationships and growth.

Meaning:
If one speaks in alignment with the understanding of another’s heart and intentions, bringing joy and contentment through thoughtful words, such a person is truly admirable. But someone who talks without grasping the feelings of the other is simply making noise without purpose.

Commentary:
Words carry value only when they connect with the listener’s mind and heart. Speaking without sensitivity to others' emotions leads to misunderstanding or hurt. It is far more meaningful to be someone who speaks with empathy and insight—such speech builds trust, harmony, and peace in relationships.

Meaning:
One who listens to malicious words and turns against their own brothers or loved ones is truly foolish. Such a person, who lets himself be swayed and separates from family because of someone else’s words, is like a dog caught and dragged by a leash—it loses both freedom and dignity.

Commentary:
Letting anger or suspicion take over because of what others say can damage close bonds. Instead of reacting blindly, it’s wiser to pause, reflect, and understand the truth before judging those close to us. Loyalty and reason must prevail over hearsay and manipulation.

Meaning:
One who has realized true knowledge (𑌜𑍍𑌞𑌾𑌨) should be revered, for such a person sees the Supreme even in ordinary humans. By finding joy in everything and living in harmony with the world, the wise earn the admiration of even the divine beings.

Commentary:
True wisdom lies in seeing divinity in all beings and not making distinctions based on status or appearance. When the mind is filled with contentment and reverence for life itself, happiness naturally follows, and even the highest ideals honor such a life.

Meaning:
One who holds unwavering faith in 𑌃𑌅𑌰𑌿 (the Supreme Being) will never face true harm. Such a person is indeed noble and spiritually exalted even while living on this earth. With firm dedication and steady focus, one remains untouched by worldly downfall.

Commentary:
When inner conviction is rooted in the divine and supported by sincere effort and discipline, external challenges cannot destabilize one’s peace or purpose. Steadfastness in values and unwavering trust in the good keep a person resilient and elevated amid life’s uncertainties.

Meaning:
A petty person always speaks boastfully, flaunting their limited knowledge or virtue, whereas a truly noble person speaks gently and humbly. Just as gold does not make a loud noise like bronze when struck, the truly valuable remain quiet and dignified.

Commentary:
True worth is often silent and unpretentious. Those who constantly seek attention or brag are usually lacking in depth, while the genuinely wise or good-hearted let their actions and quiet presence speak for them. Cultivating humility and restraint in speech reflects inner strength and character.

Meaning:
One may study the 𑌨𑍍𑌯𑌾𑌯𑌶𑌾𑌸𑍍𑌤𑍍𑌰 (science of logic) but apply it unjustly, use the 𑌧𑌰𑍍𑌮𑌶𑌾𑌸𑍍𑌤𑍍𑌰 (scriptures of righteousness) to support cruelty, and distort 𑌜𑍍𑌯𑍋𑌤𑌿𑌷 (astrology) to mislead people instead of guiding them with truth.

Commentary:
Knowledge and sacred disciplines should be used with integrity and compassion, not twisted for selfish purposes. When logic is manipulated, dharma is used to justify harm, or astrology is abused for profit, the true purpose of these sciences is lost. Wisdom lies not in mere learning but in righteous application for the upliftment of others.

Meaning:
Though people often imagine 𑌦𑍇𑌵𑍁𑌡𑍁 (God) as residing in some distant land or separate realm, Vemana says that the divine is always present within the 𑌦𑍇𑌹𑌿 (embodied being) itself. Just as a driver sits within a vehicle to operate it, God resides within the body and drives all its actions.

Commentary:
Divinity is not to be searched for elsewhere—it is intimately present within each living being. Realizing that the divine is not distant but ever-present within oneself leads to a shift in how we treat others and ourselves. Respecting life, acting with humility, and seeking the divine inwardly becomes the truest form of worship.

Meaning:
All that arises from the earth—𑌭𑍂𑌸𑌾𑌰𑌮𑍍 (the wealth and matter of the world)—originates from the earth itself. Likewise, all principles and truths (𑌤𑌤𑍍𑌤𑍍𑌵𑌮𑍍) are inherent within the human body. The fruits of labor, too, are born from effort. Ultimately, everything is contained within oneself—nothing truly comes from outside.

Commentary:
Self-awareness is the foundation for discovering truth. The resources of the world, the knowledge of life, and the fruits of one’s work are not foreign—they emerge from within and through our actions. Seeking external validation or chasing illusions distracts from recognizing our own inner completeness. Turning inward with effort and awareness brings real fulfillment.

Meaning:
The divine power (𑌦𑍈𑌵𑌂𑌬𑍁) is greater than the ritual vow (𑌵𑍍𑌰𑌾𑌤𑌕𑌂𑌟𑍇), but no vow is greater than one’s action (𑌚𑍇𑌤𑌕𑌂𑌟𑍇). The one who performs the vow is the true doer (𑌕𑌰𑍍𑌤), and the action of the hand holds more weight than the vow itself. Simply put, deeds matter more than intentions or formal observances.

Commentary:
Rituals and vows have value, but they are secondary to meaningful action. What we do with sincerity and responsibility in our daily conduct is more important than rigidly following ceremonies without understanding or involvement. True spiritual merit lies in action rooted in purpose, not in blind ritual.

Meaning:
A drop of water confined in a shell becomes a pearl (𑌮𑍁𑌤𑍍𑌯𑌂𑌬𑌯𑍍𑌯𑍇), while the same drop falling into plain water simply merges into it. Only when something falls or reaches the right place (𑌬𑍍𑌰𑌾𑌪𑍍𑌤𑌿 𑌗𑌲𑍁𑌗𑍁 𑌚𑍋𑌟) does it yield meaningful results; otherwise, it goes in vain (𑌤𑌪𑍍𑌪𑍁𑌰𑌾).

Commentary:
The value of effort or talent depends on the right environment and context. Even a small quality or act, when nurtured in the right setting, can shine brilliantly. But in an unsuitable or inattentive environment, even something precious may go unnoticed or wasted. It reminds us to seek the right company, atmosphere, or purpose that allows our inner potential to blossom.

Meaning:
When 𑌨𑍀𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌰𑍁𑌡𑍁 (God) is present in every home (𑌇𑌂𑌟𑌿 𑌇𑌂𑌟𑌿𑌲𑍋𑌨), why go wandering (𑌯𑌡𑌵𑍁𑌲𑌂𑌦𑍁) unable to see Him? Failing to recognize the divine within and around, some still roam begging, acting like 𑌜𑍋𑌗𑍁𑌲𑍈 (mendicants), looking for what is already near.

Commentary:
True divinity resides within us and in our immediate surroundings. Searching for God or truth outside, while ignoring what's already accessible in our own hearts and homes, leads to unnecessary struggle. Recognizing the sacred in everyday life, relationships, and self is the beginning of real spiritual awareness.

Meaning:
Only that merit (𑌪𑍁𑌣𑍍𑌯𑌂𑌬𑍁) which is performed with a pure heart (𑌚𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌤𑌶𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌿) bears real fruit. Just as even a small stream (𑌨𑌦𑌿𑌯𑍁) cannot swell unless there is rain, mere acts without inner sincerity don’t lead to growth. Like a small seed (𑌵𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌤𑌨𑌂𑌬𑍁) growing into a vast 𑌮𑌰𑍍𑌰𑌿 𑌵𑍃𑌕𑍍𑌷𑌮𑍍 (banyan tree), a little virtue done with purity can bring great transformation.

Commentary:
What matters is not the size of an action, but the purity of intention behind it. A small good deed done sincerely is more powerful than a grand act done for show. Cultivating inner purity and genuine intentions makes even modest efforts spiritually meaningful and impactful.

Meaning:
Lord Rama shot 𑌅𑌗𑍍𑌨𑌿𑌬𑌾𑌨 (a fiery arrow) into the ocean (𑌯𑌂𑌬𑍁𑌧𑌿), commanding it to give way. When the ocean did not respond, Rama stood firm and determined (𑌨𑌿𑌲𑌿𑌚𑌿), eventually summoning the 𑌵𑌨𑌾𑌰𑌸𑍇𑌨 to gather trees and rocks (𑌚𑍇𑌟𑍍𑌲𑍁 𑌗𑌿𑌰𑍁𑌲𑍁) to build a mighty bridge (𑌸𑍇𑌤𑍁𑌵𑍁) across it. Thus, what seemed impossible was achieved with perseverance and resolve.

Commentary:
When faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles, determined action combined with strategic effort can lead to success. Even the vast ocean yielded when met with unshaken will. Challenges in life can be overcome through inner strength, patience, and collaborative action, just as Rama transformed adversity into achievement through resolve and leadership.

Meaning:
Though a hand has five fingers, only when they act in unity does it become strong and capable (𑌐𑌦𑍁 𑌵𑍇𑌳𑍍𑌲𑍁 𑌬𑌲𑌿𑌮𑌿 𑌹𑌸𑍍𑌤𑌂𑌬𑍁 𑌪𑌨𑌿𑌚𑍇𑌯𑍁). If one finger is missing (𑌓𑌕𑌂𑌡𑍁 𑌵𑌿𑌡𑍍𑌡), the function is hampered. Just like that, a single person's strength or effort alone is insufficient without collective harmony. Division (𑌜𑍇𑌡𑍁𑌕𑌦𑌾) weakens power and purpose.

Commentary:
Unity is strength. Whether in a family, community, or team, working together with mutual cooperation creates effectiveness and resilience. Individual brilliance cannot match the power of a coordinated group working with shared intent. Collaboration brings true success where isolated effort might fail.

Meaning:
Through the awareness of the Self (𑌆𑌤𑍍𑌮𑌬𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌿), one realizes that everything in existence is none other than the Self itself (𑌨𑌖𑌿𑌲𑌂𑌬 𑌤𑌾𑌨𑌯𑍍𑌯𑍇). But through identification with the ego and individuality (𑌜𑍀𑌵𑌬𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌿), a person considers himself merely a limited being (𑌜𑍀𑌵𑍁𑌡𑌯𑍍𑌯𑍇). True realization dawns only when this delusion (𑌮𑍋𑌹𑌬𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌿) dissolves.

Commentary:
The difference between bondage and liberation lies in one’s perspective. When the mind is clouded by attachment and ego, one sees separation and limitation. But when awareness shifts to the Self, everything is seen as one, leading to inner freedom. Cultivating Self-knowledge and shedding false identification is the path to peace and clarity.

Meaning:
How can one boast of their caste (𑌕𑍁𑌲𑌮𑍍) if they lack good qualities (𑌗𑍁𑌣𑌮𑍁𑌲𑍁)? Even if someone is born in a high lineage, what is the use if they do not cultivate noble virtues or contribute positively to society? A worthless person without good traits is no better than a blind monkey (𑌗𑍁𑌡𑍍𑌡𑌿𑌗𑌵𑍍𑌵𑌯𑍁𑌲𑍇𑌦𑍁), no matter their birth or background.

Commentary:
True worth lies not in one’s birth or caste but in the virtues one cultivates—kindness, knowledge, humility, and integrity. Respect should be earned by character, not inherited by birth. This challenges us to judge people by their actions and values, not by their social labels.

Meaning:
If a son is born to parents but lacks compassion and love toward them, what value does his birth (𑌪𑍁𑌟𑍍𑌟𑍁) or existence (𑌗𑌿𑌟𑍍𑌟𑍁) have? Such a person, though born, is no better than the thorns (𑌚𑍇𑌦𑌲𑍁) that grow among useful plants—they are born, but only cause harm. Simply being born is not meaningful if one fails to show love and duty towards parents.

Commentary:
Being born into a family is not enough—it is compassion, gratitude, and responsibility that define a worthy life. A person who does not honour their parents or care for them with affection is like a wasted birth. It reminds us to uphold our duties with a kind and loving heart, especially toward those who gave us life.

Meaning:
Even a small surge of 𑌕𑍋𑌪𑌮𑍁 (anger) can destroy one's dignity (𑌘𑌨𑌤). Anger diminishes all good qualities (𑌗𑍁𑌣𑌮𑍁) and clouds one’s judgment. A person who is constantly driven by anger has no true desire or purpose left—they are consumed by their rage.

Commentary:
Anger not only ruins one’s character but also distances them from clarity, peace, and meaningful goals. Controlling anger is essential to retain dignity and preserve the good qualities within. Cultivating patience and inner calm protects relationships and personal growth.

Meaning:
You may bring a white buffalo hide and soak it for a whole year, but it will never become white if it is inherently black. Similarly, if you carve a doll out of unfit wood, it won’t become a skilled dancer. Outer efforts cannot change the intrinsic nature of something that is fundamentally unsuitable.

Commentary:
Trying to reform someone or something that lacks the core disposition or capability may be futile. True transformation must arise from within, not merely through external conditioning. It's wise to recognize potential before investing time and effort.

Meaning:
If power or authority is handed over to a person of 𑌅𑌲𑍍𑌪𑌬𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌿 (limited intelligence), it will only lead to disaster, even for the wise and capable. Giving instructions to such a person is as futile as offering sugarcane to a dog—it cannot appreciate its value.

Commentary:
Leadership or responsibility should be given only to those with the maturity and wisdom to handle it. When authority is placed in the wrong hands, it harms not just the system but even affects those who are good and deserving. Discretion in choosing who to trust with responsibility is essential for harmony and success.

Meaning:
Effort without understanding is fruitless. One who lacks the strength or eligibility to take up a task cannot accomplish it just by trying. Even if someone attempts something blindly without the needed capacity or commitment, success remains distant. Rather than letting go or holding on without purpose, it is wiser to assess whether the goal is truly worth pursuing.

Commentary:
Blind persistence without inner readiness or capability only leads to frustration. It’s important to discern whether what we’re holding on to is genuinely valuable and within our reach. Letting go of unsuitable pursuits and focusing energy on meaningful efforts leads to wiser living.

Meaning:
Just as a tummacheTTu (milk hedge plant) grows on its own without being deliberately planted, and seeds sprout from within the soil unexpectedly, so too wisdom (buddhi) can sometimes arise even in the heart of a foolish person (moorkhudu), without formal training or prior intent.

Commentary:
Wisdom can emerge spontaneously, regardless of one’s background or perceived intelligence. Labels like “foolish” or “uneducated” don't always define a person’s potential for insight. Remaining open to unexpected sources of truth or inspiration allows us to learn from all kinds of people and situations.

Meaning:
What is the use of wandering in forests (vipina bhoomi) wearing fake ascetic disguises (kapaTi vEShamu) and letting the body suffer hardships (kaDagaMDlu paDanEla)? Liberation (mukti) is not found in outer rituals or appearances but is attained through sincere yupamu—discipline and inner truth.

Commentary:
Authentic spiritual progress doesn’t come from external show or artificial practices but from genuine inner discipline and detachment. Pretending to be spiritual or subjecting oneself to meaningless suffering is futile. Real transformation lies in self-control, sincerity, and inward purity, not in rituals done for display.

Meaning:
One who doesn't fit a place or context (anuvugaani chOTa) cannot be called a leader or superior (adhikulamanaraadu). Something that lies just a little ahead (koMchemuMduTella) does not necessarily lead or dominate (koduvakaadu). Just because something sits on the slope (koMDa yaddamaMdu), it doesn’t mean it is on top (koMchamai uMDadaa).

Commentary:
True greatness or leadership cannot be claimed by mere position or appearance. Being slightly ahead or in an elevated place doesn't automatically make one superior. It is inner worth, wisdom, and right conduct that determine true leadership and value—not superficial advantage or temporary placement.

Meaning:
To realize the deepest truths hidden within one’s own mind (manasulOnunna marmamaMta erigi), one must stabilize the mind (sthiramu chEsi) and clearly recognize the Self (aatma tETaparichi). Only then can the vessel—that is, the body or mind (GaTamu)—be properly aligned, and true realization of the supreme (GanataliMkETiki) becomes possible.

Commentary:
Inner clarity and self-realization are not attained through external rituals or superficial knowledge. Only by understanding the subtle truths of the mind and establishing mental steadiness can one truly align with the higher Self. This calls for inner discipline, reflection, and quiet observation to recognize the divine essence within.

Similarly, one who doesn't know the true nature of the Divine (dEvunerugaka) ends up worshipping all sorts of external deities and symbols (paradavEtala dalachu) without understanding their essence.

Commentary:
Without clarity of spiritual understanding, people often run behind countless external rituals and deities, mistaking them for the ultimate goal. Just as a shepherd needs direction to find his lost goat, a seeker needs discernment (viveka) to recognize the one Truth behind all names and forms. Only then can spiritual practice become focused and meaningful rather than scattered and confused.

Meaning:
What is the use (kalimigalganEmi) of having great wealth (kalimi) if one lacks compassion (karuNa lEkuMDina)? Even with riches, if a person commits cruel and unrighteous acts (duShTakarmulakunu), that wealth only leads them towards destruction (teruvuna bOvadaa), like a sharp-edged sword pointed at oneself.

Commentary:
Wealth without compassion can be dangerous—not only to others but also to oneself. Material success has value only when guided by kindness and righteousness. When one uses resources to harm, exploit, or ignore the suffering of others, that very wealth becomes a path to ruin. True prosperity lies in using one’s blessings to uplift and not degrade.

Meaning:
A single spark (eMDina maanokaTaDavini) can ignite a blazing forest fire (maMDina naMdagni). Similarly, even in a lineage of great warriors (daMDigala vaMSamellanu), one chaMDaaluDu—a person considered low-born or from an unlikely background—can arise and excel in chaduvu, or education and wisdom.

Commentary:
Greatness does not depend on birth, lineage, or background. Just as a small spark can cause a mighty blaze, a person from humble origins can rise through knowledge and virtue. Dismissing someone based on their birth or social status is ignorance; true respect lies in recognizing inner fire, learning, and effort. Society thrives when merit is valued over pedigree.

Meaning:
A blind person (kanulu pOvuvaaDu) and a lame one (kaaLlu pOyinavaaDu)—each lacking a vital ability—can still achieve progress when they join forces (ubhayularayugooDi yuMDinaTlu). Likewise, even the poorest of the poor (pEda pEda gooDi) can rise and live with dignity (penagoni yuMDunu) through unity and mutual support.

Commentary:
When individuals join hands, sharing strengths and compensating for each other's limitations, even the most disadvantaged can thrive. Collaboration, empathy, and mutual aid are powerful tools for progress. No one is truly weak when they stand together with others in solidarity and shared purpose.

Meaning:
One who can speak wisely (maaTalaaDu galgu) and understands deeper truths (marmamulerigina) need not be judged by age or seniority (pinnapeddatanamu lennavaladu). After all, doesn’t a lamp held in the hand of a child (pinnachEti divve) shine just as brightly as any other, regardless of who holds it?

Commentary:
Wisdom and insight do not always come with age. Even someone young or seemingly inexperienced may possess clarity and depth. Judging value based only on age or position blinds us to the brilliance that can come from any source. Just as light has its own radiance no matter who carries it, true understanding should be recognized wherever it appears.

Meaning:
A foolish man (moMDi vaani) may boast of arranging grand festivities on a hilltop wedding (koMDamuchchu peMDliki) with countless names and extravagance (kOti pEraMTaalu), but a truly wise person (hituDu) stays grounded and humble like a rock (baMDavaaDu). Just as a shapeless lump (duMDageeDu) cannot become a hill, one without inner maturity cannot attain greatness, no matter the show.

Commentary:
True worth is not in appearances or grand claims but in strength of character and grounded wisdom. Loud talk and pretentious displays cannot substitute genuine substance. Maturity, like a solid hill, comes from within, not from shallow gestures. Let actions reflect inner stability rather than superficial grandeur.

Meaning:
Just as pure water (𑌝𑍁𑌷𑌮𑍁 𑌨𑍀𑌰𑍁) becomes scalding hot when placed over fire (𑌵𑍇𑌡𑌲 𑌜𑌚𑍍𑌚𑍁𑌟𑍇), but loses its heat when removed from it (𑌨𑍀𑌟𑌨𑍁𑌂𑌡𑌨𑍇𑌨𑌿), similarly, the influence or brilliance of someone who shines only in the presence of others (𑌅𑌂𑌡𑌤𑍋𑌲𑍁𑌗𑍁 𑌨𑍇𑌡𑌲) fades when that association ends (𑌨𑌂𑌦𑌰 𑌪𑌨𑌿 𑌅𑌟𑍍𑌲𑍇).

Commentary:
Borrowed strength or second-hand knowledge may give temporary shine, but it doesn't last when the source is gone. It is important to develop one’s own understanding, values, and character rather than relying on the presence or influence of others to appear wise or powerful. True excellence radiates from within and is not dependent on external support.

Meaning:
One who cannot recognize the pain and affection of a mother (𑌤𑌲𑍍𑌲𑌿𑌯𑍇𑌡𑍍𑌵 𑌵𑌿𑌨𑌕) even after giving birth to many children (𑌤𑌨𑌯𑌾𑌲𑍁 𑌵𑌗𑌚𑌿𑌨), and remains indifferent or unemotional (𑌜𑌾𑌲𑌿𑌪𑌡𑍇𑌡𑍁 𑌵𑌾𑌡𑍁 𑌜𑌡𑍁𑌡𑍁 𑌸𑍁𑌮𑍍𑌮𑌿), is no better than a beast that lacks the ability to discern emotional nuances and hierarchies (𑌤𑌾𑌰𑌤𑌮𑍍𑌯 𑌮𑍇𑌰𑍁𑌗𑌨𑍇𑌰𑌨𑌿 𑌪𑌶𑍁𑌵𑌦𑌿).

Commentary:
Recognizing and respecting the sacrifices, love, and emotional bonds of our parents—especially the mother—is a mark of true humanity. Someone who is emotionally disconnected from such sacred relationships lives a dull and senseless life, much like an animal. Cultivating empathy, gratitude, and emotional intelligence toward those who nurture and care for us is essential for becoming a complete and wise individual.

Meaning:

How can a meaningful or dignified life come from someone like that? (𑌅𑌟𑍍𑌟𑌿𑌵𑌾𑌨𑌿 𑌬𑌤𑍁𑌕𑍁𑌟𑌦𑌿 𑌏𑌲 𑌮𑌂𑌟𑌿𑌕𑌾?)

Commentary:
True character is revealed in how one speaks and behaves, especially when there is no advantage to be gained. Flattery born of selfishness reduces personal dignity and trust. One must speak with integrity and courage, not just to please or manipulate others. A life built on sycophancy lacks substance and respect.

Meaning:
Even if one tends cows for a living (𑌗𑌂𑌗𑌿 𑌗𑍋𑌵𑍁𑌪𑌾𑌲𑍁 𑌗𑌰𑌿𑌟𑌡𑍈𑌨𑌨𑍁 𑌚𑌾𑌲𑍁), or ends up as a servant in someone’s house (𑌕𑌡𑌵𑍇𑌡𑍈𑌨𑌨𑍁), or bears the burdens of hard labor (𑌨𑍇𑌮𑌿 𑌖𑌰𑌮𑍁𑌪𑌾𑌲𑍁), all that is enough and worthy—if one possesses true devotion (𑌭𑌕𑍍𑌤𑌿𑌕𑌲𑍍𑌗𑍁𑌕𑍂𑌡𑍁). Even a lowly position is noble when adorned with genuine faith.

Commentary:
What matters most is not our status, profession, or wealth, but the sincerity and devotion in our heart. Humble work done with integrity and spiritual intent holds more value than prestigious positions lacking meaning. Fulfillment and dignity arise not from outer roles but from inner devotion and purpose.

Meaning:
When one is trapped or constrained (𑌚𑌿𑌕𑍍𑌕𑌿𑌯𑍁𑌨𑍍𑌨𑌵𑍇𑌳), even a lion becomes helpless. On the other hand, when conditions are favorable, even a weak dog (𑌬𑌕𑍍𑌕 𑌕𑍁𑌕𑍍𑌕𑌯𑍈𑌨𑌾) can cause harm. Without strength or the right circumstances (𑌬𑌲𑌿𑌮𑌿𑌲𑍇𑌨𑌿 𑌵𑍇𑌳), even rightful claims or inheritance (𑌪𑌂𑌤𑌮𑍁𑌲𑍁) cannot be secured.

Commentary:
Success is not solely determined by one's capability or merit but also by timing, support, and circumstances. Even the most talented individual can feel powerless when caught in unfavorable situations, while the undeserving may thrive due to temporary advantage. Recognizing this truth encourages humility during triumph and resilience during setbacks.

Meaning:
The sweetness of affectionate words from loved ones surpasses even the taste of 𑌪𑌨𑌸 𑌤𑍋𑌣𑌲 (jackfruit pods), 𑌪𑌂𑌚𑌦𑌾𑌰𑌲 (five types of sugar delicacies), 𑌜𑍁𑌂𑌟𑌿𑌤𑍇𑌨𑍇 (pure honey), and 𑌜𑍁𑌨𑍍𑌨𑍁 (colostrum pudding).

Commentary:
True emotional nourishment comes not from food but from love, care, and the warmth of kind words. A single expression of genuine affection can uplift the heart more than any physical indulgence. This reminds us to value emotional connections over material pleasures and to speak with kindness to nurture the relationships that bring true joy.

Meaning:
A 𑌨𑌿𑌂𑌡𑍁 𑌨𑌦𑍁𑌲𑍁 (full river) flows steadily and with 𑌗𑌂𑌭𑍀𑌰𑌮𑍍 (dignity), while a 𑌵𑍇𑌱𑍍𑌰𑌿𑌵𑌾𑌗𑍁 (shallow stream) rushes noisily. In the same way, people of depth and wisdom remain calm and composed, whereas shallow-minded individuals are restless and loud in their behavior.

Commentary:
Those who possess true knowledge or strength do not need to be boastful or impatient. Inner richness shows itself in patience, humility, and steady action. By practicing measured speech, composed behavior, and avoiding needless showiness, one can earn quiet respect and influence without noise or display.

Meaning:
A dish without 𑌉𑌪𑍍𑌪𑍁 (salt) cannot please the taste buds, and food without 𑌪𑌪𑍍𑌪𑍁 (lentils) has no true nourishment. Likewise, a person free from 𑌅𑌪𑍍𑌪𑍁 (debt) is truly wealthy, regardless of how much material possession he has.

Real prosperity is not measured by the amount of money or property one owns, but by the freedom from burdens that drain peace of mind. Living within one’s means, avoiding unnecessary loans, and maintaining financial discipline ensures lasting stability and contentment, even with moderate income.

Meaning:
Cows may differ in color, yet their milk is the same; flowers may vary in type, yet they are all used in pooja; places of worship may be many, yet the divine is one. This highlights the essential unity behind outward differences.

Commentary:
Recognizing the single 𑌦𑍈𑌵𑌂𑌬𑍁 behind diverse forms fosters harmony and respect among people of different beliefs and traditions. By looking beyond external distinctions and focusing on the shared essence, it becomes easier to build mutual understanding and reduce conflicts born from superficial differences.

Meaning:
Killing an enemy with one’s own hand is not the highest act of valor; causing harm without just cause is never right. Offering help to an adversary and inspiring them towards goodness is a far greater virtue, says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
True strength lies not in revenge but in transforming hostility into harmony. By showing compassion even to those who oppose us and choosing to uplift rather than destroy, we cultivate moral courage and create the possibility for lasting peace.

Meaning:
A true relative is known in times of danger, genuine friendship is proven in moments of fear, and the virtue of a wife is revealed when poverty strikes, says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
Real bonds and qualities are not measured in comfort but in hardship. Standing by loved ones during crises, supporting friends when they are vulnerable, and remaining loyal in adversity are marks of integrity that deepen trust and relationships.

Meaning:
Just as salt and camphor may look similar but differ greatly in taste and fragrance, among people too, outward appearances can be deceiving—there are virtuous individuals and there are others who merely seem so, says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
Judging a person solely by their looks, speech, or outward manner can lead to false conclusions. True worth is revealed through one’s actions, values, and consistency over time. Developing discernment helps in choosing trustworthy companions and avoiding those who only appear virtuous.

Meaning:
When there is no 𑌆𑌤𑍍𑌮 𑌶𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌦𑌿 (inner purity), any 𑌯𑌾𑌚𑌾𑌰𑌮𑍍 (ritual or religious conduct) becomes meaningless. Just as cooking in a pot without 𑌭𑌾𑌂𑌡𑌶𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌦𑌿 (cleanliness of the vessel) ruins the food, performing 𑌶𑌿𑌵𑌪𑍂𑌜 without 𑌚𑌿𑌤𑍍𑌤𑌶𑍁𑌦𑍍𑌧𑌿 (purity of mind) holds no true value, says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
True spiritual practice starts from within. Without cleansing the mind of jealousy, ego, and greed, even the grandest acts of worship lose their essence. Before engaging in any prayer or ritual, one must cultivate sincerity, humility, and compassion so that actions spring from genuine devotion rather than mechanical habit. Inner purity transforms rituals into meaningful acts that uplift both oneself and others.

Meaning:
Just as 𑌯𑌿𑌨𑍁𑌮𑍁 (iron) that does not break can be heated and reshaped multiple times, but cannot be used to make fine 𑌗𑍍𑌰𑌮𑌮𑍁 (delicate ornaments), a 𑌮𑌨𑌸𑍁 (mind) that has once broken in trust or loyalty cannot be truly joined back together, says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
Trust, once shattered, is extremely difficult to restore to its original wholeness. Relationships and bonds thrive on integrity, and even a single act of betrayal can leave lasting cracks. Careful speech, honest action, and respect for others’ feelings help preserve trust, making relationships stronger and more enduring.

Meaning:
Whether one calls it 𑌕𑍁𑌂𑌡 or 𑌕𑍁𑌂𑌭𑌮𑍍 (pot), 𑌕𑍋𑌂𑌡 or 𑌪𑌰𑍍𑌵𑌤𑌮𑍍 (mountain), 𑌨𑍁𑌪𑍍𑌪𑍁 or 𑌲𑌵𑌣𑌮𑍍 (salt), they are not different in essence — only the names vary. In the same way, languages and expressions may differ, but the underlying 𑌪𑌰𑌤𑌤𑍍𑌵𑌮𑍍 (ultimate truth) remains one, says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
Different words, cultures, or traditions should not be mistaken as divisions in truth. The essence of goodness, wisdom, and the divine is beyond labels. Recognizing this unity helps overcome prejudice, fosters respect for diversity, and builds harmony in relationships and society.

Meaning:
Just as a tree steadily grows and bears sweeter fruit day by day, and as a sugarcane becomes sweeter with time, a person’s actions and character ripen and improve through sincere 𑌸𑌾𑌧𑌨𑌮𑍁𑌨 (practice and effort). Good deeds performed with dedication eventually bring completeness and value to life, says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
Consistent effort and inner refinement are key to meaningful progress. Like a fruit or sugarcane that matures slowly, virtues and skills develop gradually through disciplined practice. Patience, persistence, and dedication ensure that one’s work, relationships, and inner growth become sweeter and more fulfilling over time.

Meaning:
A stone in the shoe, a buzzing sound in the ear, a grain of sand in the eye, or a thorn in the foot — all cause constant irritation and pain until removed. In the same way, conflicts and disharmony within the household make living there unbearable, says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
Small but unresolved issues can cause great discomfort and spoil peace of mind, just as minor physical irritants can disturb the whole body. Addressing misunderstandings, removing grudges, and fostering harmony at home ensures a peaceful environment where everyone can live without constant mental strain.

Meaning:
Those who always find faults in others carry such criticism everywhere, in every group they join. They overlook their own flaws and fail to realize that they too have shortcomings, says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
Constant fault-finding not only strains relationships but also blinds one to self-improvement. Cultivating self-awareness, acknowledging personal mistakes, and focusing on solutions instead of criticism builds mutual respect and harmony in interactions.

Meaning:
A chili seed looks black on the outside but holds intense heat within; similarly, truly good people may appear simple or unremarkable outwardly, but their inner nature is filled with strength, virtue, and moral warmth, says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
Judging worth based only on outer appearance often leads to misjudgment. Real value lies in a person’s character, principles, and actions, which may be hidden beneath a humble exterior. Taking time to understand people deeply helps in recognizing and respecting true goodness.

Meaning:
A 𑌮𑍇𑌡𑌿𑌪𑌂𑌡𑍁 may appear smooth and fine on the outside, but when split open, it can be filled with worms. In the same way, the mind of a 𑌪𑌿𑌰𑌿𑌕𑌿𑌵𑌾𑌨𑌿 (coward) may seem normal outwardly but is rotten within, lacking courage and strength, says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
True worth is measured by inner strength and integrity, not by outward appearance. Building courage, self-reliance, and moral firmness ensures that one’s character remains sound and trustworthy, unaffected by external pretence.

Meaning:
When a tree is affected by root-boring insects, it decays from below; when infested by leaf-eating pests, it withers from above. Likewise, the company of corrupt people destroys even a 𑌗𑍁𑌣𑌵𑌂𑌤𑍁 (virtuous person), says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
The influence of bad association can gradually erode even the strongest virtues. Choosing companions wisely and avoiding those whose values are harmful is essential to preserving one’s moral strength and integrity.

Meaning:
Simply wearing 𑌕𑌾𑌷𑌯𑌵𑌸𑍍𑌤𑍍𑌰𑌮𑍁𑌲𑍍 (ochre robes) and speaking in a spiritual 𑌭𑌾𑌷 (language) does not grant 𑌮𑍁𑌕𑍍𑌤𑌿 (liberation). If the mind remains burdened with desires and impurities, it is no different from a head without wisdom — outward form means little without inner transformation, says 𑌵𑌿𑌶𑍍𑌵𑌦𑌾𑌭𑌿𑌰𑌾𑌮 𑌵𑍇𑌮.

Commentary:
True spiritual progress comes from inner purity, discipline, and clarity of thought, not just from symbolic dress or speech. External identity should reflect genuine inner change, reminding us to focus on cleansing our thoughts and intentions rather than seeking recognition through appearance.
