Having taught the Vedas, the teacher says: "Speak the truth. Do your duty. Neglect not The scriptures. Give your best to your teacher. Do not cut off the line of progeny. Swerve not From the truth. Swerve not from the good. Protect your spiritual progress always. Give your best in learning and teaching. Never fail in respect to the sages. See the divine in your mother, father, Teacher, and guest. Never do what is wrong. Honor those who are worthy of honor. Give with faith. Give with love. Give with joy. If you are in doubt about the right conduct, Follow the example of the sages, Who know what is best for spiritual growth. This is the instruction of the Vedas; This is the secret; this is the message."
