Those who abide by sadaachaar (good conduct) as described in the sanctified
scriptures, i.e. this Shikshapatri, will attain happiness both in their current
life and their next. (Slok 8)
However, those who transgress and defy the rules of sadaachaar will suffer
immense pains both in this life and in their next. (Slok 9)
Therefore, all of my disciples should live life devotedly adhering to these
holy commandments with the utmost of attention, but must never contravene them.
(Slok 10)
The rules for all, both men and women that I have given in this Shikshapatri
are merely written in a concise form. Explanations for the reasons behind each
of the slok should be sought from the other texts of my religion. (Slok 203)
I have collated and narrated the essence from all the scriptures in this Shikshapatri.
By obeying these commands, all of one’s wishes will be fulfilled. (Slok 204)
My disciples should recite this Shikshapatri on a daily basis. If they cannot
read, they may listen to its recital. (Slok 208)
If there is nobody to narrate it to them, they must offer worship to the Shikshapatri
every day. My words are a representation of me. They are my murti (divine form)
and therefore should be revered and respected with the utmost of importance.
(Slok 209)
The Shikshapatri should only be given to people who are aspiring to achieve
spirituality but never to those who have fiendish qualities. (Slok 210)
