In the structure of social life that existed in olden days, politeness, propriety, responsibility and respect for ethical limitations were given great importance. The present-day social life is becoming so distorted and corrupt that I feel ashamed of even discussing it.
*
* Now-a-days, ethical values and limitations are
dying; the sense of propriety and discretion have been lost.
* Look for good alliances and relationships .... never
break them off. The bridge of good alliances or relationships is built with great difficulty. Realising their value you must try to protect and maintain them.
26Manawawa
* You must develop a true acquaintance with noble
spiritual heads. A true acquaintance with them means becoming acquainted with their knowledge,
compassion and noble affection. * Popularity is a kind of magic that can make you a
millionaire. Popularitu is the magic that brings about prosperity. It is not an easy thing to win an
honoured place in the hearts of all people. roerenewesencer

DISCOURSE 36
The great scriptural scholar, the author of 1444 Dharmagranthas, Acharyashri Haribhadrasooriji while describing the ordinary principles of the Grihasthadharma in his magnificent work, Dharmabindu, expounds the second ordinary principle of the Grihasthadharma namely, the propriety of marriage.
If the parities of lineage, family traditions, purity etc. exist between the husband and the wife, there will be perfect harmony in their life and the spiritual activities of the family
