1. There has never been a time when you and I have not existed, nor will there be a time when we will cease to exist. As the same person inhabits the body through childhood, youth, and old age, so too at the time of death he attains another body. The wise are not deluded by these changes.
2. At the time of death, according to the thinking, feeling and willing of the mind, which is involved in fruitive activities, one receives a particular body. In other words, the body develops according to the activities of the mind. Changes of body are due to the flickering of the mind, for otherwise the soul could remain in its original, spiritual form.
3. Fear Not. What is not real, never was and never will be. What is real, always was and cannot be destroyed.
4. No work stains a man who is pure, who is in harmony, who is master of his life, whose soul is one with the soul of all.
5. Hell has three gates: lust, anger, and greed.
6. Just as a fire is covered by smoke and a mirror is obscured by dust, just as the embryo rests deep within the womb, wisdom is hidden by selfish desire.
