Almighty God is a friend to him who takes pains to know Him and He is unfriendly to him who does not take pains to know Him. A man of wisdom is always forgiving and a man of ignorance is always treacherous. If you want to be honoured, be gentle to others and if you want to be disgraced be harsh to others. One who is noble by birth is gentle at heart, and one who is ignoble by birth is crude at heart. One who transgresses (the divine limits) is caught up in a sad plight.
