Rights and duties are inseparably inter-related
The third Samhitha, the Samhitha, expounds the (conjunction) between the teacher and the student, and the (learning) that arises therefrom. It stresses, the importance of spiritual education, in addition to secular education through the education of the heart. This Samhitha imparts also some essential teachings for one's conduct in life. The sacred injunctions contained in the Samhitha shine as beacon-lights to mankind afflicted with limitless desires and meaningless yearnings. These injunctions are: Speak (truth); Observe (code of righteousness); Foster knowledge with diligence; Abstain from vicious deeds; Perform worthy acts; Respect most meticulously the regulations laid down by society for leading a disciplined life in the community; Practise charity as a householder according to your capacity; Show reverence and obedience to elders; Exercise extreme vigilance with regard to your duties and relationship with your kith and kin and fellow- human beings. After imparting these instructions, the Samhitha (beneficial Divine instructions) lays down that these teachings constitute the eternal commandments for the conduct of man. The Samhitha teaches that based on these commandments, the students should lead a life of exemplary excellence.
