     BY SESHAPPA KAVI

 

05.01   A good person sometimes errs coammits a mistake or two on that count does it change his original nature or skill?  a redsugarcane might bend itself here and there in its growing process, does it lose (Juice) its sweetness ?

(Cheruku Vanka)

 

05.02   When a beggar asks you alms, never scold him you may not help him. Why should you hurt him? Better jump into a well and die than stealing a widow’s riches.

 

05.03   If your cattle turns useless, it is due to the fault of man in charge, if one’s wife become quarrelsome it is the fault of her husband, if one’s son becomes a bad worthless fellow, it is due to his father’s fault; if one’s girls turn bad it is their mothers fault. People pull on unmind full of these faults.

(Pasarambu – Pasula Kapar

05.04   None brings anything any mone by   when he comes out of his mothers womb, nor, nothing would be with you when you leave this world bidding good – bye; even a millionaire eats salted food; he can’t swallow gold; whatever riches is hidden life long, without extending any help to anybody, it might be snatched away by robbers or officials. What does happen to honey hive, comb, which is the life long collection of honey bees. Do the bees consume it?   No. But some others.

(Talli Garbhamu Nundi)

 

05.05   A miser never gives anything to anybody, moreover he growses and feels jealous of another donor.

(Lokamandevadaina)

 

05.06   A Person’s life is ephemeral, bubble on the ocean’s wave it would burst at any moment. None follows, goes with him as a person. It may occur in childhood, old age – exactly at what time none knows. But it is certain.

(Pancha Bhouthikamu)

 

05.07   Highly educated, talented, cultured people have become worthless fellows; complete idiots have come up prominent, truth has become not acceptable to many; the pretentious speak their voice loud with sugar coated words. Such people are gaining acceptance by many.

(Adhika Vidya Vantulu)

 

 

05.08   What is the aim of education? It is for earning money which gives food clothing and shelter. Why one is getting married? Simply for family pleasures; why should we raise children? For other world’s benefits. Why we recruit army? It is to be free from fear of enemies. Why people resort to huge level charity and donations. To get salvation in the next birth.

(Athi Vidya Nerchuta)

 

05.09   Who feeds birds in the forests? Who serves fodder, grass to animals? Who provides sustenance to forest creatures?? Who feeds still born baby in the woman’s stomach? Who put poison in the snakes head? It is all done by God.

(Adavi Pakshula Keuvadu)

 

05.10   In which caste Vyasa was born and became reknown; in which caste vidura was brought up and became the celebrity; in which caste Karna was grown up and become eminent in statire; In which caste Valmiki; was born and became reputed and remembered; in which caste boat rower GUHU appeared become a role model; In which caste Suka appeared and still remembered; in which caste SABARI was born and became unforgettable; why should we assign and categorize caste and race to all these pious persons? (The underlying message is significant their life styles are ever-lasting in our caste based social order.)
