1847.] Catechetical Dialogue of Sook. 1233 



28. Who is a great brute? He who having fully learnt the Shas- 

 tras, does not lead a virtuous life. 



What is that poison which seems like nectar ? Woman. 

 Who in the shape of friends, are enemies? One's offsprings. 



29. What are as fleeting as the lightning? Wealth, youth and 

 life. 



What is desirable wealth ? That which is bestowed on deserving 

 objects. 



What should one, even at the risk of life, refrain from committing ? 

 A foul act. And what should he do ? Worship Siva. 



30. What objects are difficult of acquisition? A true Gooroo ; 

 society of the good ; the knowledge of Brahm, relinquishment of all 

 worldly things, and the knowledge of Siva. 



What is difficult to all men to conquer ? Love. 



31. What should one do ? Love Moorari. 



What should not one make his abiding place ? The world, which is 

 like the sea. 



On what should one meditate night and day ? On the vanities of the 

 world and on the excellence of Siva. 



32. By rehearsing or hearing these questions and answers, which is 

 like a string of gems, joy will be diffused into the hearts of the wise as 

 'tis done by the hearing or rehearsing the delightful history of Krishna 

 and Siva.
