    		Bracelets do not decorate a person, nor do necklaces glittering like the moon, nor bath, nor smearing the body with fragrance, nor flowers, nor decorated hair. Only that speech embellishes a person, which has been upheld with cultural refinement. Indeed, all ornaments decay. Ornament of speech is always the real ornament.

    		Oh! King, Prahlada was always engrossed in the bliss of praying and prostrating before the lotus feet of Sri Hari at all times, while drinking, while eating, while talking, while smiling, playing, sleeping and performing such other actions, while moving around and while visualizing and forgot about this world.

    		Know that only brahman is real, while the material universe is mithyā (it cannot be categorized as either real or unreal). The jīva (the living human) is brahman itself and not different. This should be understood as the correct śāstra. This is proclaimed by vēdānta.
