›r∂ Hari, my heart, O lord of the feathered kingdom, was all on fire. Vile of descent as
I was, the little learning that I had acquired turned my head even as a serpent becomes
all the more poisonous when fed on milk. Proud, perverse, wretched and low-born, I
meditated mischief to my Guru day and night. My Guru, however, was too tenderhearted
to have the least anger in him; on the other hand, he gave me good advice time after
time. The first thing a vile fellow does is to kill and destroy the very man who has been
instrumental in exalting him. Listen, brother : smoke, which is produced by fire, extinguishes
the latter when it attains to the dignity of a cloud. The dust lying on the road is held in
contempt and is ever trodden under foot by all (the wayfarers). But when carried aloft by
the wind, it first envelopes the air itself and then descends on the eyes or diadems of
king. Listen, O lord of the winged creatures: realizing this state of things, the wise shun
the company of vile men. Seers and learned men have declared this maxim: it is good
neither to quarrel with a wretch nor to make friends with him. One should always remain
aloof from him, my master; a wicked fellow should be avoided even as a dog. Vicious
as I was with a heart full of falsehood and perversity, the Guruís admonition did not
appeal to me, even though it was wholesome. (1ó8)

One day I was repeating ›ivaís Name in a temple sacred to Lord Hara, when my
Guru came in; but in my pride I did not rise to greet him. He was too gracious to say
anything; neither did he feel the least resentment in his heart. But the grievous sin of showing
disrespect to a Guru was more than the great Lord ›iva could tolerate. (106 A-B)
