श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच
यत्र नार्यस्तु पूज्यते मोदन्ते तत्र देवताः |
नारीभिर्ध्रियते धर्मो धर्मेण परमं सुखम् ||
मातृवद्भगिनीवच्च भावयेत्परभामिनीः |
स्वदारेषु परां प्रीतिं कुर्याद्दाशरथिर्यथा ||
तेजस्वी वा यशवी वा तपस्वी वा मनस्व्यपि |
परदाररतो नूनं सर्वतो नाशमाप्नुयात् ||
Shri Sadguru said
Where the women are respected there the Gods are pleased. For only the women safeguard dharma. Only dharma bestows great happiness. The wives of others should be treated as mothers and sisters. On one’s own wife, one should shower affection as Shri Rama did. Inspire of being very strong, famous, courageous and having the strength of severe penance, if one nurtures a desire for the wives of others, he gets totally destroyed.
