Know that if one’s power and influence becomes too large, the water of suffering overflows!
Know that your own impure appearances cause negativity to adhere to you.
Know that those who, though they sicken and age, don’t think about it and are not mindful of death, are childish.
Know that a human life spent not making provisions for future lives is empty and mistaken.

Know that human life without practice of Dharma, ageing yourself in being a custodian of others, is without purpose.
Know that if you don’t attain the path of liberation now, at this time, you will wander endlessly in samsara.
Know that human life will be but a one -time pleasure if you don’t give up caring about worldly opinion.
If you would listen to this ācārya, understand that working on yourself is more important than trying to look after many people.
