आश्वाघान्तेऽवसायिभ्यः कामान् संविभजेद्यथा । अप्येकामात्मनो दारां नृणां स्वत्वग्रहो यतः ।। ७-१४-११ ।।

sanskrit

Dogs, fallen persons and untouchables, including caṇḍālas [dog-eaters], should all be maintained with their proper necessities, which should be contributed by the householders. Even one’s wife at home, with whom one is most intimately attached, should be offered for the reception of guests and people in general. ।। 7-14-11 ।।

जह्याद्यदर्थे स्वप्राणान् हन्याद्वा पितरं गुरुम् । तस्यां स्वत्वं स्त्रियां जह्याद्यस्तेन ह्यजितो जितः ।। ७-१४-१२ ।।

sanskrit

One so seriously considers one’s wife to be his own that he sometimes kills himself for her or kills others, including even his parents or his spiritual master or teacher. Therefore if one can give up his attachment to such a wife, he conquers the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is never conquered by anyone. ।। 7-14-12 ।।

कृमिविड्भस्मनिष्ठान्तं क्वेदं तुच्छं कलेवरम् । क्व तदीयरतिर्भार्या क्वायमात्मा नभश्छदिः ।। ७-१४-१३ ।।

sanskrit

Through proper deliberation, one should give up attraction to his wife’s body because that body will ultimately be transformed into small insects, stool or ashes. What is the value of this insignificant body? How much greater is the Supreme Being, who is all-pervading like the sky? ।। 7-14-13 ।।

सिद्धैर्यज्ञावशिष्टार्थैः कल्पयेद्वृत्तिमात्मनः । शेषे स्वत्वं त्यजन् प्राज्ञः पदवीं महतामियात् ।। ७-१४-१४ ।।

sanskrit

An intelligent person should be satisfied with eating prasāda [food offered to the Lord] or with performing the five different kinds of yajña [pañca-sūnā]. By such activities, one can give up attachment for the body and so-called proprietorship with reference to the body. When one is able to do this, he is firmly fixed in the position of a mahātmā. ।। 7-14-14 ।।

देवान् ऋषीन् नृभूतानि पितॄनात्मानमन्वहम् । स्ववृत्त्यागतवित्तेन यजेत पुरुषं पृथक् ।। ७-१४-१५ ।।

sanskrit

Every day, one should worship the Supreme Being who is situated in everyone’s heart, and on this basis one should separately worship the demigods, the saintly persons, ordinary human beings and living entities, one’s forefathers and one’s self. In this way one is able to worship the Supreme Being in the core of everyone’s heart. ।। 7-14-15 ।।
