In this quote we see that advice is being asked for. “One expert, doctor Rondibilis, replies that he should not, as any wife will be unfaithful because she is ultimately an irrational being.” I think that Pantagruel giving advice to his friend took so long because he may have been trying to figure out what to say and how to say it. His friend asks about if he should marry or not.

In this quote we read about when Pantagruel first meets his friend. “The astonishing intellectual scope, the formal and linguistic inventiveness, and the general ebullience of Rabelais's writings, known collectively as Gargantua and Pantagruel, embody Renaissance humanism in all its excitement and thirst for knowledge.” This quote fits this because Pantagruel wants to get to know his new friend.

Krishna has explained that by doing the right thing for the right reasons adds fruit to their karma. "Righteous action like devotion, sacrifice and gifts, performed attachedly, with a firm mind does yield fruit according to the intent. Righteous action, performed unattachedly with a firm mind does not yield fruit." (Sumati). In this quote we read that righteous action that is done attachedly will add fruit to someone's karma, but will not if unattadely. Krishna wants Arjuna to understand that sometimes he will have to fight to add to his karma.

Krishna explains the importance of yoga and meditating to Arjuna. “Practicing meditation is emphasised to improve one’s mental health and general physical health so that one is able to perform one’s task” (Shunmugam). In this quote we read that mediating can improve a person’s mental and physical health to help them perform their task.
