To tell you on this earth.

Do not feel bad that
you are sick ,
Do not think there
is no penance,
Do not go by the way you enter and earn
your living,
Do not walk as dictated
by your mind.
2.Vanchanai
cheyyathe manathaale - veen,
Vambukal pesaathe
vaayaale,
Anjidum yezhayai athattathe-intha,
Arulaana
neriyai marakkathe
Do not deceive by
your mind –do not,
Speak
needless gossip by your mouth,
Do not shout at
the scared poor man,
Do not ever forget
this teaching of dharma.
