Weapons cannot harm the soul, fire cannot burn the soul, water cannot wet and air cannot dry up the soul.
Man with limited understanding is always attracted towards personal material pleasures of the world. This personal material pleasure only provides pleasure to senses of human body. These pleasures are temporary and do not provide peace of mind.
When a desire is not fulfilled instantly then anger is generated and that anger is so dangerous that it destroys the person and society.
A person with uncontrolled mind does not get peace of mind
in this world good people has got two kinds of faith. 1st Faith in Action and 2nd. Faith in Knowledge
A person can not achieve anything with knowledge alone. Action must be mixed with knowledge in order to achieve success
Work for the betterment of society. You will definitely gain a lot without demanding. Perform the action without focussing on fruits. You will certainly get what you deserve.
Sacrifice is very important to perform action without demanding sense satisfaction and pleasure. Sacrifice is the key to achieve great success.
You must give more in order to get more.
Great person never stops working no matter how big they achieve.
As a mirror is covered by dust, knowledge is coved by lust.
Sometimes the mode of passion becomes prominent, defeating the mode of goodness. And sometimes the mode of goodness defeats passion and at other times the mode of ignorance defeats goodness and passion.
The faith of human being comes from perception of mind
Those who works hard and sacrifice in right direction is considered in goodness.
There was a great king in ancient time; he used to donate a lot to poor people. Seeing this, one great saint becomes happy and comes to that king and said to him “ask me what you desire” your desire would be fulfilled provided it should not be selfish desire else my boon could take adverse effect. Listening this king become so happy and said “Give me a lot so that no poverty recedes in this world”. Soon the king lost his kingdom, he lost all his wealth, all his income and he become so poor that now he can not give to anyone. Now Bettal asked this question to king Vikram Q: Why did that

He should have asked “Make this world so prosperous that no poverty recedes”. Bettal laughed and said “what a great answer Vikram” and he disappeared,
If a rich person gives up everything and become sage then it is considered good, but a poor person becomes sage in order to get daily free food is crime. Great sage first achieves everything by his efforts and then quit.
Krishna: controlling the mind with determination of giving up the objects of sense gratification is great.
