Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such friendships will never give you any happiness.

Never above you. Never below you. Always beside you.

The biggest guru-mantra is: never share your secrets with anybody. It will destroy you.

There is no guarantee what will give you happiness any which way. I know many married people who are unhappy.

They're above the tracks and we're below the tracks.

How can people be made happy in a petty kingdom? What peace can we expect from a rascal friend? What happiness can we have at home in the company of a bad wife? How can renown be gained by instructing an unworthy disciple?
