"He who takes himself to account gets benefitted, and the one who gets negligent and careless about himself bears loss. The one who fears becomes peaceful, and the one who takes lesson becomes most clear sighted and discerning. He who becomes most clear sighted, understands; and he who understands and comprehends becomes knowledgeable and informed."
