Be silent when others cowardly speak; Speak when others are cowardly silent.Refrain when others foolishly give, Give when others foolishly refrain.Wise men see divinity in every face when, Fools see demons in every one.Wise men respond to attack with love in their hearts when, Fools react with fear and anger.Be not like fools who judges others, But be wise in judging thyself foremost.Seek not short-lived pleasures which cause thee to die as a mortal, But seek eternal values that thou may transform into an immortal.Be wise, live and act with soul purpose, Unlike fools who live and act carnally.Thoughts bring pain, thoughts bring pleasure, Transcend such ambiguity by transcending thoughts.Fools flee problems only to face them again, Be wise, face problems that thou may rise higher.Deceit, violence, selfishness–these maintain mortality, Honesty, non-violence, selfishness–these evokes immortality.Fools believe what they are not, to be what they are. Wise men understand what they are, to be what they are.Fools are slaves to Nature; Wise men are her handmaidens.Fools are attracted to the pseudo-gods in the forms of darkness, Wise men are attracted to the One God in the form of Light.There is release and benefit in knowing Truth; There is bondage and harm in being deceived by the false.Fools are attracted to appearances and are thus deceived, Wise men know their essence and are thus liberated.The values of men are foolishness to God, The values of God are foolishness to men.Death is a stranger to and feared by fools, To wise men, “death” is a friend and welcomed.Fools accuse all but themselves for their personal problems; Wise men blame themselves alone for the problems of the world.Fools pursue instant development and attainment–their acquisitions are subsequently instantly lost; Wise men work diligently upon their own development and attainment–their acquisitions are permanently gotten.Fools seek the quick way and thus unknowingly tread the long path; Wise men seek the right way and knowingly tread the quick path.Fools look down and laugh, Wise men look up and sigh.Fools are arrogantly complacent with their abundance, Wise men give thanks for their mere pittance.A fool is a wise man at a certain stage of spiritual progress, Just as a wise man is a fool at a certain stage of spiritual progression.Fools believe complexity to be of value, Wise men know simplicity to be of true value.Wise men believing themselves wise are foolish, Fools knowing themselves foolish are wise.The purpose of the Soul a fool does ignore, The purpose of the false ego the wise dismiss.False beliefs create the false ego, True knowledge manifests the True Soul.Fools are asleep and dead to Reality, Wise men are awake and alive to it.
