Task Performed By An Unintelligent

Lakshmi, The Goddess Of Wealth, Comes Of Her Own Accord Where Fools Are Not Respected, Grain Is Well Stored Up, And The Husband And Wife Do Not Quarrel.

There Is Poison In The Fang Of The Serpent, In The Mouth Of The Fly And In The Sting Of A Scorpion; But The Wicked Man Is Saturated With It.

A Still-born Son Os Superior To A Foolish Son Endowed With A Long Life. The First Causes Grief For But A Moment While The Latter Like A Blazing Fire Consumes His Parents In Grief For Life.

The Poor Wish For Wealth; Animals For The Faculty Of Speech; Men Wish For Heaven; And Godly Persons For Liberation.

By Means Of Hearing One Understands Dharma, Malignity Vanishes, Knowledge Is Acquired, And Liberation From Material Bondage Is Gained.
