(4) Mind affects the health of the body. Leave the
thought of sickness, concentrate on health, and
control yourself with the power of the mind.
42. Pride is bad but so is the lowering oneself before every
body by considring oneself as inferior. A man should
have his own self respect, and then the people will also
pay respect to him. Have self confidence and courage.
43. Make a promise after deliberate thinking. But when
you do it, fulfil it. Observe the timings. If you have
given an appointment, stand by it. Learn the value of
the time. Spend the time of holiday in your progress.
Don't waste time, it is so valuable.
44. Good conduct makes one popular. Good conduct is
necessary in getting up, sitting, walking, meeting the
people, in a talk, eating and drinking, going in
Associations and societies, participating in banquets,
passing on urine and stool, taking a bath; and in fact
in every sphere of life. These jobs can be performed
in a good manner and as per the principles of society,
and conversely by useless talk and negative approach.
Good conduct expresses the status and the strength
of character.
Habits once taking root, do not go away easily. As
such do not pick up the bad habits. Habits develop
unknowingly and a vigilant eye should be kept on them.
45. A man of bad character gets a disrepute in the world.
He always falls into trouble. He remains sick and is of
smaller longevity of life; but a person of good
character even not having the benefit of education;
remains happy and lives for a hundred years (Manu).
