One, who makes a pledge, but does not fulfill it, is a worthless person before God and men.

Those who have adopted opportunism as their religion are always able to impress people with words.

Why?

Because it is in their own selfish interest to do so.

For them it is not right or wrong that matters; there is no set standard guiding them.

If a man has a difference with another, he can settle it by argument.

But it is not proper for him to denigrate the other person, defame him and make him the target of allegations.

While the first course of action is legitimate, the second is not.

Those who resort to calumny, do so because they see that their worldly position is safe and strong.

It is the special characteristic of a tree that it makes the whole world its ‘dining table’, and in this way develops from the stage of a seed to establish itself on the earth as a majestic tree.

In the present world a man spends his life along with other human beings.

Every man has to do his work among many other men.

For this reason, great importance is given to mutual confidence and trust.

The spinning of cotton involves the hard work of combining separate fibres so that articles useful to man may be woven from it.

In the present world, the test of a man is that he should recognise falsehood.

When a man is given advice which goes against his whims and fancies, he immediately becomes annoyed.

In the present world, Satan has been at pains to glamourize wrongdoing and has taught the worshipper of untruth to present his case in the most appealing way.

The fact is that, honesty and hard work embrace all the necessary qualities.

If anyone provides information about another which takes the form of allegations against the latter, ready acceptance of this news on simply hearing it is absolutely against the precautions imposed by the Faith.

It is essential on the part of the hearer of the news to make the necessary investigation about it, and whatever opinion he forms should be after impartial inquiry and not before.

It frequently happens that when information of this kind is received, there are immediate suggestions of taking punitive action.

Every utterance a man makes is permanently preserved in the shape of sound waves in the air.

As a rule, secret whispering is an undesirable action.

However, sometimes for some good reason, secret whispering has to be resorted to.

In this case, the decisive factor is intention.

If it is done with good intentions, it is legitimate but if it is done with evil intentions, it is sinful.

There should be consistency in a man’s sayings and doings, even if he is required to pay the price of facing all sorts of difficulties and has to become exceptionally patient.
