Choose friends who will stick to
you till the end, through thick and thin.
Meditate on what you read and think
of God.
I
give my devotees whatever they ask, until they ask for what I want to give.
You should not stay for even one
second at a place where people are speaking disrespectfully of a saint.
If you do not want to part with
what you have, do not lie and claim that you have nothing, but
decline politely
saying that circumstances or your own desires prevent you.
