This is translated from main Bangla:
(১:১) আর তোমাদেরকে (দৃষ্টান্তবাদীদেরকে) যারা অদৃশ্য কিছু বিশ্বাস করানোর জন্যে ওয়াজ শোনাতে ইচ্ছুক হয়, তাদের থেকে আগে শোনার পারিশ্রমিক নিয়ে নাও। যদি দিতে রাজী না হয়, তাদের বিশ্বাস্য কাহিনিগুলো শুনে সময় নষ্ট করার দরকার নাই। কৌশলে তাদের এড়িয়ে চলো। তোমরা তোমাদের সময়গুলোকে জনকল্যাণকর কাজে ব্যয় করো।

(১:২) আর তোমাদেরকে (দৃষ্টান্তবাদীদেরকে) যারা অদৃশ্য কিছুর প্রতি ঘৃণা জন্মানোর জন্য ওয়াজ শোনাতে ইচ্ছুক হয়, তাদের থেকেও আগে শোনার পারিশ্রমিক নিয়ে নাও। যদি দিতে রাজী না হয়, তাদের প্রতিহিংসামূলক কাহিনিগুলো শুনে সময় নষ্ট করার দরকার নাই। কৌশলে তাদেরও এড়িয়ে চলো। তোমরা তোমাদের সময়গুলোকে জনকল্যাণকর কাজে ব্যয় করো।

(১:৩) নীতিহীন নাস্তিকের চেয়ে নীতিবান আস্তিক অনেক ভালো। একই ভাবে নীতিহীন আস্তিকের চেয়ে নীতিবান নাস্তিক অনেক ভালো। বেশির ভাগ আস্তিক-নাস্তিকের নীতির জায়গা ঠিক নেই, দেখছ না?

(১:৪) তোমরা (দৃষ্টান্তবাদীরা) নীতি ঠিক রেখে কর্ম করো। তোমরা এ সমাজের মানুষ, সুতরাং তোমাদের বিচার-বিশ্লেষণ করে চলতে হবে। স্বাভাবিক মেজাজ নিয়ে কর্মে প্রবৃত্ত হও।

As I interpret point l.4, it recommends: Do not lose your temper, for to do so is to be self-centered and to demand that the universe cater to you which is not realistic. Stay serene and enjoy your state of serenity.

Furthermore, love justice; devote yourself to it.

Also, if you have a business, run the business ethically.
How is this done? How do I run an ethical business?
Give equal attention to profit, to your employees, to your customers, and to your community -- which includes supporting cultural events and a clean, green environment.

That would depend on what the theist thought was good and evil. An immoral atheist might be friendly, A theist has an idea about how you HAVE TO live, they are the most dangerous and to be avoided.

So only the rich can preach?

Better to just avoid those who want a fee.

No fees.

What about the agnostic preacher?

I can understand your point but the righteous theist will kill you for no good reason, whereas at least one can understand and maybe reason with the immoral atheist.

Ethical business? Maybe as I'm not anti-capitalist anymore but its a hard-ask if the aim is to maximise profits and beat competitors.
