Wealth of wealth is acquired by ear`s attent
This wealth amidst all other wealth is supremely excellent
Even if there`s no time for the ears to take feed
With trifling dole of food you supply the body`s need
People feeding their ears with learned teachings are rare
For rich oblations to gods, they even claim a share
However ignorant one be, but let him hear always
Can be weak in language, but proves a stuff and stays
With a staff in hand, in slippery grounds one doesn`t stray
Such are the words of people who walk in righteous way
Let these good learning for everyone be in continuity
Thou, keeping learnt, gains increase of perfect dignity
Even not with an inadvertence will they speak a foolish word
For with clear discerning mind, they have ample lessons heard
If one`s teachings have not opened the learner`s ears
People may listen, but the scarce can they hear
For discourses of lores, refined if ears have never heard
It will be hard for their mouth to utter gentle modest word
If one`s mouth can taste, but ears have no taste of joy to give
What matters, if this person die, or prosperous live?

a wise old owl sat on an oak.
the more he heard, the less he spoke.
the less he spoke, the more he heard.
Now wasn't that a wise old bird?
a few lines to say the same thing~
I wish they were mine.. |
