मनः शीघ्रतरं वाताच्चिन्ता बहुतरी तृणात् ॥ ६५१

Mata gurutara bhumeh khat pitoccharastatha
Manah shighrataram vatacchinta bahutari truant

Mother is weightier than earth, father is higher than the sky.
Mind is faster than wind, worry is lighter than straw.

स हि भवति दरिद्रो यस्य तृष्णा विशाला ।
मनसि च परितुष्टे कोर्थवान् को दरिद्राः ॥ ६५२

Sa hi bhavati daridro yasya trushna vishala
Manasi cha paritushte korthavan ko daridrah

He is the poor one whose desires are limitless
When one is mentally satisfied, who is wealthy, who is poor?

जानामि धर्मं न च मे प्रवृत्ति: जानाम्यधर्मं न च मे निवृत्ति:  
केनापि देवेन हृदि स्थितेन यथा नियुक्तोऽस्मि तथा करोमि ६५३

Janami dharmam na cha me pravruttih janamyadharmam na cha me nivruttih
Kenapi deven hrudi stithena yatha niyukto asmi tatha karomi


I know what is dharma yet I cannot get myself to follow it. I know what is adharma yet I cannot refrain from it. It is as if some force dwells in my heart and impels me to do what I do.

वाक्सायका वदनानिष्पतन्ति यैराहतः शोचति रात्र्यहानि ।
परस्य नामर्मसु ये पतन्ति तान्पण्डितो नावसृजेत्परेषु ॥ ६५४

Vaksayaka vadananishpatanti yairahatah shochati ratryahani
Parasya namarmasu ye patanti tanpandito navasrujetpareshu

Barbed words emerge from the mouth, if they are aflame they cause commotion.Such words reaching others will offend them, wisemen never shoot barbs at others.

श्रवणायापि बहुभिर्यो न लभ्यः शृण्वन्तोऽपि बहवो यं न विद्युः।
आश्चर्यो वक्ता कुशलोऽस्य लब्धाश्चर्यो ज्ञाता कुशलानुशिष्टः ॥ ६५५

Shravanayapi bahubhiryo na labhyah shrunvato api bahavo na vidyuh
Ashcharyo vakta kushalo asya labdhashcharyo jnata kushalanushishtah

Not possible to find many who have heard him, the many who have heard him remain unaware, it is a wonder to find someone who can speak about him and one who knows him (God)
