sanskrit

There is no limit for knowing the science of life i.e. Ayurveda. Therefore, one should dedicate himself to it (i.e., study Ayurveda) continuously and without any carelessness. This is worth-doing and to be followed. Further one should keep good behavior with everyone, without pointing the defect in other’s qualities. Because for the wise the whole world is a teacher, while for the unwise it is enemy. Consequently, the wise, after due consideration, should follow the advice which is prosperous, promoting fame, life-span, strength and useful to the society even if it comes from an enemy. After that he (the teacher) should speak this, “You should always behave properly (worship) to gods, fire, brahmanas, preceptors, elders, accomplished ones and teacher, thus this fire along with all the perfumes, eatables, gem, grins and aforesaid gods would bless you with prosperity, and if you behave in opposite manner they would curse you. When the teacher has said like this, the disciple should say ‘Yes’ (will behave similarly). If the disciple follows these instructions then he should be taught, otherwise not. The teacher when teaches such a worthy disciple obtains the aforesaid fruits of teaching and enjoins the disciple and himself with other not mentioned beneficial qualities. Thus, the method of teaching is said.
