a human being feels highly elated and spiritually close to God at the
end of hearing a puranic discourse. After accompanying a dead friend
to the burial ground and sseing him off in a blue fume of smoke  he
will intensely feel how unreal this life is.  After having a session of
copulation with the mate he feel satiated to the extent that  the
person will feel a sort of hatred for what he was doing.  The master
chanakya points out that if this state of detachment remains with a
fellow all the time, who can prevent him from attaining eternal
release from the vicissitudes of this mortal life?   The hysteria
exhibited by people during purana discourse and the sudden burnout
at the end is a quite familiar sight. when a person dies some friends
and family members may wish they had also died along with him..
Keats has expressed well about love's sad satiety. . But think how
these thought are so ephemeral?

the following evil predilection of the mind should be rooted out at any cost...
desire for someone else's wife. scandalizing others, throwing saracstic insul at
others and exhibiting silly and unbecoming character in the presence of the
preceptor and respectable persons.

when a great yagna is initiated, aholy trunk\ of  sacred tree is ceremoniously
brought into  to the yagnasala and it is planted with all devotion and poojas.
However there is a large wooden soola erected in a burial ground where some
condemned crimials are forcibly erected to death. Here Kalidasa  says the the
sensible men do not perform the sacred pooja to the soola in the burial ground
though the same is done ceremoniously to the yoopa in yajna sala.   This means 
two things which may  look alike but because of their locatand utility

 the fire flares up when the fuel is stoked up, the serpent spreads his wide hood in
an attacking mood when provoked. So it appears that strong people exhibit their
prowess only when they are forced into  a frenzy of anger.
(the scene is sakunthalam is quite interestion.  dushyantha rejects sakunthala in a
stupour caused by the curse of durvasas and when he gets back his memory he
lives like a tragic lovelorn person. He forget that  there is the world to rule, the
dharma to be protected. Meanwhile some demons are attacking Indra the lord of
Gods and He requires Dushyantha in full valour to support him in the war.  So Indra
sends his own charioteer Mathali to fetch the king. Mathali comes to the Palace
invisible and attachs the kings great friend vidhooshaka with hard blow and other
fearful acts. The king, who is normally inactive in his sorrow and lovepangs,
suddenly gets provoked and is ready to attach this unseen entity. Then the divine
charioteer appears is the open and explains. the reason for his torturing of  the
vidhooshaka)hey get vastly different treatments.

apart from the natural father who sired us we have to honour and respect  the
person who has constantly fed us, who has always protected us from great fears in
childhood, our teacher, and the person who initiated us into the divine path have
also  as equal to our father.  (the master chanakya  stresses here the importance of
father- like figures in our lives,,,, the ruler, the teacher and the initiator)

6.न कर्मणा न प्रजया धनेन त्यागेनैके अमत

not by action, nor by having progenies or immense wealth, but only by complete
renunciation can we reach eternity

(this is in honour of the great sannyasivarayas who simply give up everything in

this life and attain the jeevanmuktha stage and still just grace this earth to bless
all of us)

one cannot buy back even a millionth of a second lost in life by spending ever
gold worth crores.  If such time is spent without any useful purpose what loss can
be greater

8.रामं दशरथं विद्धि मां विद्धि जनकात्मजां

raamam dasarathm vidhdhi  maam vidhhi janakaatmajaam

ayodhyam ataveem vidhi  gachcha thata yatha sukham

this is from valmiki ramayanam.  the scene is where lakshmana seeks permission
of his mother sumitra for accompanying his beloved elder brother rama to forest
for a life of recluse for 14 years. Any mother would have been angry,
remonstrated, cursed dasaratha for this situation as she was in fact losing two
sons at a stretcn because Rama was even more beloved to her than her own son. 
But she was wise. She knew wihout Lakshmanas company Rama cannot survive.
Sita,was a good mother for lakshmana.  She says " My darling boy, you always
consider rama as dasaratha and the daughter of Janaka as your own mother.
You depart with ease of heart thinking that the forest is ayodhya.  There is a not
so hidden meaning in this sloka...the title of Dasartha, deterous in running ten
 Chariots will suit more appropriately to Rama the Vishnu, and Ma  jaanki is
none other than the universal mother Lakshmi. Once they depart from Ayodhya,
the city will become the forest and wherever the divine couple are present is
heaven. So the mother is sure of her sons welfare
Sacrifice is the keyword here. Rama is bound by a Royal Dicturm.. but why
should Lakshmana choose to go to forest, a young married man leaving all
worldly comforts? Why should a mother allow this with happiness...we cannot
understand the nobility of human mind in its fullness even when we see open
hearts.

This sloka is considered to be the one greatest sloka out of all the 24000  penned
by Valmiki. 

8.द्वारं द्वारं अटन ् भिक्षुः दीयते न तु  याचतॆ।

dwaaram dwaaram atan bikshuh deeyathey na thu yaachathey

adhattwa maadruso ma abhooh  dathwa twam twaadrisee bhava

the beggar who visits the doorsteps of everyone is in fact not begging for alms .
He is giving the advice that you do not become one like me by not giving anything
to anybody , but be charitable and continue to  be like yourself (as you are now)
this is a rustic subhashitam but conveys a terse message

9.यावत्स्वस्तमिदं कलेवरगह

the enterprising and wise man should always do things for his own overall benefits
of the present and future as long as  he is in good health, as long as  the old age
and senility is not very near, as long as the organs have the strength to act with
reasonable dexterity, and as long as there is no detriment to his longevity. Can
anybody call the action of a fellow starting to dig a well while his house is already
gutted by fire as a prudent action?्

we are blessed with this body for the sole purpose of being help to others.

if the human race had imbibed this idea even to the slightest degree in spite seeing
Jesus and Ganhiji at work as humans and the whole phenomenon of nature
working for the good of all  the earth would have become a paradise long ago
