एक सज्जन ने स्वाध्याय का नियम ले लिया, दीवाली की सफाई में चौका, लेम्प, शास्त्र कहीं रख कर भूल गया, नहीं मिलने पर, डण्डा उठाकर सबको पीटना शुरू कर दिया, अतः स्वाध्याय ऐसा करें कि शास्त्र कहीं शस्त्र न बनें।

A gentleman took a vow of scriptural study; during Diwali cleaning he put away the cooking-square, the lamp and the scripture and forgot where, and when he could not find them he picked up a stick and began beating everyone. So study in such a way that the scripture (shastra) does not somewhere become a weapon (shastra).
