Salt, cooked food, honey, oil, ghee, fruits, and sacred items must never be sold—they’re symbolic of purity and charity.
Even the formless one takes dual forms for a unique purpose—what beauty lies in divine contradiction and mysterious manifestation!
Talking reason to a fool is like churning chaff; kindness to the wicked is like pouring ghee on sand.
Acts done without thought bring ruin—like Ravana’s unthinking abduction of Sita led to his downfall.
One who hasn’t conquered himself but seeks to conquer enemies will fail; without mastery of self and ministers, one loses power.

The resolution of dual meanings and complete perception arises from knowing the unknown and confirming the known.
