| Great vigilance must be maintained at all times when dealing in areas about which we do not have great understanding. This, of course, is where science can help. We consider things to be mysterious only when we do not understand them. I realize that results of inquiries are dependent on the experiments employed to achieve them. However, not finding something does not mean that it does not exist. It only proves that the experiment was incapable of finding it. It is also important to keep in mind the limitations imposed by nature itself. |

| Chapter 3 : prudence in speech 01 Do not start a quarrel with a hot-mouthed man, 02 nor needle him with words. 03 Pause before an intruder, bend before an attacker, 04 sleep (on it) before speaking. 05 A storm that bursts like fire in straw, 06 such is the heated man in his hour. 07 Withdraw from him, leave him alone. 08 The god knows how to answer him. 09 If You make your life with these (words) in your heart, 10 Your children will observe them. |

| Quote of the moment |
| Within oneself, within each single person, one finds many inconsistencies and contradictions. Sometimes the disparity between one's thoughts early and late in the day is so great that one spends all one's energy trying to figure out how it can be resolved. This can lead to headaches. So naturally, between two persons, between parents and children, between brothers and sisters, there are differences. Conflicts and disagreements are bound to happen. If so, then how do we deal with them? If we have confidence in our capacity for reconciliation then we will be able to deal with these situations. |
