1. Perform your obligatory duty, because action is indeed better than inaction.
2. Whatever happened was good, what’s happening is going well, whatever will happen, will also be good. You need not have any regards from the past. Do not worry for the future. Live in the present.
3. As a human being puts on new garments, giving up old ones, the soul similarly accepts new material bodies, giving up the old and useless ones.
4. There is nothing lost or wasted in the life.
5. Those who are motivated only by desire for the fruits of action are miserable, for they are constantly anxious about the results of what they do.
6. Better indeed is knowledge than mechanical practice. Better than knowledge is meditation.
7. The wise work for the welfare of the world, without thought for themselves.
8. You have the right to work, but never engage in actions for the sake of rewards, nor should you long for inaction.
9. No one who does good work will ever come to a bad end, either here or in the world to come.
10. A gift is pure when it is given from the heart to the right person at the right time and at the right place, and when we expect nothing in return.
