Sleep much, you
become dull,
Eat less, of joy be
full,
Talk much and earn a
turgid brain;
Reduce desire and
goodness attain.
Be composed - how well
you shine!
Be angry - how fast you
decline!
Contentment showers
happiness;
Jealousy breeds
unhappiness.
Stick to Truth, Truth
will save,
Gladly suffer, it
enriches you.
Love and gather
affection best;
Hoard! And Shani is your
guest.
Give up, and roll in
joy;
Worry, and illness plays
with you as toy.
Sathwic character is
wisdom pure,
Rajasic wildness is ruin
sure.
Living for oneself is
Yamabadha;
Living for the Self is
Sivabodha!
Pride! You are a
Danava!
Dharma! Thou art
Madhava.
Doubt is ceaseless
torture,
Concord, the finest
teacher.
Excess knowledge brings
much harm;
Fame comes from mirth,
moderate and warm.
Himsa! O it is
Kamsa!
Ahimsa! 'Tis
Paramahamsa!
The greedy struggle for
the "Here."
The godly struggle for
the "Hereafter"
Vasana is a wily
tick;
Hate is a noose so
thick.
Obstinacy is rude and
rough,
Mischief is crude and
tough.
Learn these lessons
well-,
And be from Triple Gunas
free!
