Though there is the difference
of
insult and honour, there are (really) no

causes for discontent for a man except his

ignorance; for, in (this) world, men are

different because of their own actions.

परितुष्येत्ततस्तात तावन्मात्रेण पूरुषः ।

दैवोपसादितं यावद्वीक्ष्येश्वरगतिं बुधः ॥
 

"Therefore, dear child, the wise man

should content himself with that which

destiny has provided for him, under-

standing the design of the Master.
 

 
'अथ मात्रोपदिष्टेन योगेनावरुरुत्ससि ।

यत्प्रसादं स वै पुंसां दुराराध्यो मतो मम ॥

Further, He whose grace you desire to

obtain through the Yoga taught by your

mother, He, I consider, is hard to be

propitiated by men.

यतिष्यति भवान्काले श्रेयसां समुपस्थिते ।
 

"Therefore, may you turn back; this

tenacity of thine is futile; thou shouldst

make (all these) efforts when the

propitious time comes.
