Story
In matters of marriage, placed importance on both beauty and lineage. He stated that a wise man should marry a girl from a respectable family, even if she is not beautiful—but he should never marry a beautiful and virtuous girl from a low-born family.
The reasoning was that marriage should always take place between families of equal social standing.

The Proposal
A wise sits under a tree with a young student. The student looks thoughtful, holding a scroll of marriage proposals.
The Value of Lineage
Two women are shown side by side — one simple but from a noble family, the other beautiful but from a lower lineage.
The Warning
The beautiful woman from a lower lineage smiles gracefully, but her shadow reveals arrogance or deceit.
The Lesson
Gurudev points toward a balanced weighing scale — one side labeled “Beauty,” the other “Noble Lineage.” The scales balance evenly.
