Bhramin speaks “Oh! Rajan, 4) I have learned a lesson from the water that has the nature to keep flowing until it merges in the ocean.  It has the nature of sweetness and coolness; therefore we should adopt that coolness and sweetness in communication as well. The mind and intellect originated from the supreme soul have to be utilized for contemplating upon its origin, this process is known as Bhramakaravriththi, and it is the practice of constant contemplation upon supreme Lord who is supreme Bhramam, with intense love and devotion. 5) I have learned a lesson from Agni/fire that has nature to accept all that offered to it and burn into ashes; therefore it is often compared to wisdom,  to purify the intellect and mind it is essential to have the supreme knowledge of ‘self’, that could easily remove the cluster of unwanted thoughts. 6) I have learned a lesson from Chandra/moon and its processing of waning and waxing, hence all that in the Prakrithi undergoes transformation and ruin, the supreme soul is changeless and eternal. 7) I have learned a lesson from Ravi/Surya that spread its brilliance from the early hours of dawn and set in the hours of dusk, a disciplined life contributes wellness to mental and physical health; an undisciplined life contributes miseries and ailments.  The mind and intellect should be fed with fruitful and creative thoughts to shines like the brilliance of Surya.”

Brahmin continues “ Oh! Rajan, 8) I have learned a lesson from Kapotha/dove, I shall narrate the story of a family of male and female dove with its children lived in a beautiful nest, the mother bird go in search for food and father bird take care of the children, once a hunter shot the children, the mother dove could not control her grief, she voluntarily took leap on the  trap of the hunter, soon the father bird followed her, as he could not live in the absence of his wife. Oh! Rajan, this is how the over-attachment to people causes grief, it take away the serenity of the mind, therefore we should not live like the female duck that gave away its life in the hunter’s trap at the death of her children and the male duck followed her with the fear of living in her absence.  The human body is the Mukthidhwaram/way to achieve the path of liberation from the cycles of birth and death.  The human mind has the ability to eradicate sufferings, pain, grief, guilt, sin, miseries, sorrows; it should be utilized to achieve the highest of the piousness known as Mukthi.”
