There is no disease so destructive as lust; no enemy like infatuation; no fire like wrath; and no happiness like spiritual knowledge.
A man is born alone and dies alone; and he experiences the good or bad consequences of his karma alone; and he goes alone to the hellish planets or to the supreme abode.
Heaven is but a straw to him who knows spiritual life (a life devoted to Sri Krishna); so is life to a valiant man; a woman to him who has subdued his senses; and the universe to him who is without attachment for the world.
Learning is a friend on a journey; a devoted wife in the house; medicine in sickness; and religious merit is the only friend after death.
