If the people use the wealth bestowed on them by God for themselves alone or for treasuring it, it is like a corpse. But if they decide to share it with others, it becomes sacred food.

Far from wife and son am 1, far from land and wealth and other notions of that kind. I am the Witness, the Eternal, the Inner Self.

Even Kings and emperors with heaps of wealth and vast dominion cannot compare with an ant filled with the love of God.

The food eaten by hermits in the forest, milk, Soma juice, meat which is not prepared with spices , and salt unprepared by art, are called, on account of their nature, sacrificial food.

The morning sun, the smoke rising from a ,burning corpse, and a broken seat must be avoided. Let him not clip his nails or hair, and not tear his nails with his teeth.

Nor ,the food given by those who knowingly bear with paramours ,of their wives , and by those who in all matters are ruled by women, nor food ,given by men whose ten days of impurity on account of a death have not passed, nor that which is unpalatable.
