Tap a word to reveal its meaning. Say each one aloud as you go.

In English

Do not speak this to one who has not practiced austerities, or to one who does not love, or who will not listen, or who mocks.

Translated by Shri Purohit Swami

Never speak this to one who is devoid of austerities or devotion, who does not render service, who does not desire to listen, or who cavils at Me.

Translated by Swami Sivananda

Test yourself
