-Make a shield from knowledge,
for there is no stronger shield against calamities.
Who so ever own the shield of knowledge
will not suffer from the blow of Time.
-Among the wise, a person without virtue
does not fit well:
It's like a string of pearls where in the centre
a stone is placed.
-If you would light up a lamp within your heart
make knowledge and action your wick and oil.
- If you wish to dwell in the meadow of mercy and blessing,
graze on knowledge and action today.
Moisten the seed of action with knowledge,
for the seed will not grow without moisture.
- The world is like a house along the way,
where people pass through quickly, rank on rank.
Brother and father and mother have all passed through.
How long then will you linger on this journey?
- The world is a deep ocean,
its water is time;
your body is like a shell,
your soul the pearl.
If you wish to have the value of a pearl,
Raise up the pearl of your soul by learning.
