Phool ki Patti Sy Kut Sakta Hai Heeray Ka Jigar

Phool ki Patti Sy Kut Sakta Hai Heeray Ka Jigar, Mard E Nadan Pr Kalam E Narm O Nazuk Bai Asar: He who wishes to lead the wicked fool into the path of the virtuous by sweet persuasive language is like one who endeavors to curb a maddened elephant by means of tender lotus filaments, like one who tries to cut the diamond with the edge of the Shirisha flower, or like one who hopes to sweeten the salt waters of the ocean by means of a drop of honey.

The woman whom I adore has no affection for me; she, however, adores another who is attached to someone else; while a certain woman is in love with me even when I do not reciprocate the feelings. Fie on her, on him, on the God of Love, on that woman, and on myself.

An ignorant man can be easily convinced, a wise man can still more easily be convinced: but even Lord Brahma cannot please him who is puffed up with a little knowledge because half knowledge makes a man very proud and blind to logic.

With courage, we could extract the pearl stuck in between crooked teeth of a crocodile. We could sail across an ocean that is tormented by huge waves. We may even be able to wear an angry snake on our head as if it were a flower. However it is impossible to satisfy an obstinate fool.

If enough effort is put in, we can extract oil by squeezing sand. You may be able to drink water at a mirage. It is also possible to even spot a rabbit with horns while roaming around the world. However it is impossible to get a prejudiced fool to see logic.

He who wishes to lead the wicked fool into the path of the virtuous by sweet persuasive language is like one who endeavors to curb a maddened elephant by means of tender lotus filaments, like one who tries to cut the diamond with the edge of the Shirisha flower, or like one who hopes to sweeten the salt waters of the ocean by means of a drop of honey.

The creator has produced for ignorance, a cover which is within one's own control and which is certain in its efficacy. In the assembly of the well-versed, silence specially becomes the ornament of the ignorant.

When I Knew but a little, I was blinded by pride as an elephant is blinded by rut from excitement, and my mind was puffed up with the idea that I knew everything. When, however, I gradually gained knowledge through the contact of the wise I found I was a fool; and the pride, which had possessed me like fever, left me.

A dog happily chews the human bone devoid of all juice and taste even if it is covered with maggots, wet with saliva, be disgusting, nauseating even in the presence lord of heavens Indra. Similarly a mean man is never ashamed of accepting another's worthless favor or munificence.
The Ganges falls from Heaven on the Head of Lord Shiva, from the head of Shiva to the mountain, from that lofty mountain to the earth. From there, she descends on the lower plains. Once she is in the plains, she continues seeking the lower and lower land until she finally reaches the sea. This is what idiots do with their life. They tend to take the path of least resistance to reach the lowest level possible.

Fire can be quenched by water, the heat of the sun can be avoided by holding up an umbrella, a wild elephant can be controlled by a sharp hook, a bull or a donkey by a stick; illness (can be got over) by taking medicines in the proper way, and poison can be eradicated by the use of various charms. A remedy has been ordained by the Shastras for everything, but there is no medicine for a fool.

A person destitute of literature, music or the arts is as good as an animal without a trail or horns. It is the good fortunes of the animals that he doesn't eat grass like them.

Those who have neither knowledge nor penance, nor liberty, nor knowledge, nor good conduct, nor virtue, nor the observance of duties, pass their life in this world of mortals like beasts in human form and are only a burden on the planet.

It is better to roam with the wild beasts in dense forest and difficult mountains than to live in the mansions of Lord Of the gods Indra in company of a fool.

If the celebrated poets who are eloquent with the usage of beautiful words refined by the knowledge of the scriptures; who have gathered and mastered enough knowledge to be imparted through disciples efficiently; are in your state without any wealth then it is the apathy of the ruler! The men of wisdom are rich even without the material wealth! Precious gems get despised by those who do not have the expertise to appraise them, and appear less in value; but gems never ever lose their real worth!

Oh Kings ! cast off your pride before those who possess the secret treasure of wisdom. A treasure which remains invisible to a thief and  which always augments some unique indescribable happiness, which largely increases even though constantly given to those who desire it and which  is not destroyed even at the time of universal of destruction. Who can ever compete with such persons?

Do not insult those men of wisdom who have attained the Supreme Knowledge! The material wealth is as worthless as a piece of grass for them! Do not ever restrain them. A lotus stalk cannot hold back the elephants whose temple-regions are darkened by the streaks of fresh rut.

Highly irritated Bramha can destroy for the swan the enjoyment of residing in beds of lotuses, but he can not deprive him of his fame about the natural skill of separating milk from water.

Bracelets do not adorn a man;Neither do the necklaces shining bright like the moon nor bathing in scented waters;not anointment with fragrant pastes; not the flowers; nor decorated hair; but it is refined and polished speech alone which adorns him.

All other ornaments are destructible and will diminish with time but ornament of refined and polished speech remains forever.

Knowledge indeed makes a man more presentable; it is a valuable treasure which is always well-guarded and concealed. It gives us glory and happiness. It is the teacher of all the teachers. Knowledge is our friend and relative in foreign countries. Knowledge is the supreme divinity. It is knowledge that is appreciated by Kings- not money or material wealth. A man without knowledge is nothing but an animal.

If man has patience what need has he of an Armour, if he has anger what other enemy need he fear. If he has relatives what need of any fire, if he has a true friend what use has he of medicines of potent virtue; if there be bad people around him why should he fear serpents; if he has flawless learning what worth are riches to him, if he has sense of shame what other ornament does he require; if he has good poems what pleasure can he have from a kingdom.

Indulgence towards one's own people, kindness to strangers, caution with respect to the wicked, love for the good people, politic behavior with kings, straightforwardness in dealings with the learned, bravery with enemies, forbearance towards elders, shrewdness with regard to the fair sex; those who are versed in these and the like arts are the persons on whom rests the preservation of social order.

Bracelets do not adorn a man;Neither do the necklaces shining bright like the moon nor bathing in scented waters;not anointment with fragrant pastes; not the flowers; nor decorated hair; but it is refined and polished speech alone which adorns him.

All other ornaments are destructible and will diminish with time but ornament of refined and polished speech remains forever.

The great poets who are perfect masters in their art and who are therefore perfect in the expression of sentiments in their composition are indeed worthy of respect and glory.The wonderfully composed state of their bodies being made up of pure immortal fame is quite free from the fearful influences of age and death.

A well-conducted son, a devoted wife, a liberal master, a loving friend, an honest servant, a mind free from even the least anxiety, a handsome form, abiding riches, a mouth, purified by learning—all these can be gained by a man when Lord Vishnu the destroyer of the troubles of the world is pleased.

Abstinence from destroying life, restraint in depriving others of their wealth, speaking the truth, timely liberality according to one's power, not even gossiping about the young ladies of others, checking the stream of covetousness, reverence for elders, compassion towards all creatures—this is the universal path to happiness violating no rules or ordinances of any Shastras.

Weak minded people do not begin anything at all through fear of difficulties, mediocre begin a work but abandon it no sooner obstacle come in their way, but strong minded person though repeatedly hindered by difficulties do not give up what they have once begun.

The lion, the foremost among the proud, has unparalleled eagerness for swallowing a mouthful out of the temples broken for  himself of a great intoxicated elephant; does he—although emaciated by hunger, weakened by old age, almost exhausted and come to a miserable plight, with all his vigor gone, and even on the verge of death—ever feed upon withered grass ? This is the very nature of the people who are strong. Age is not a deterring factor for the valorous men.
