Three most esteemed gifts of life are
Knowledge, Wealth as well the Power
Demand of wealth is of knowledge lower
command over wealth and power is the higher
Wealth of knowledge is greatest wealth
wealth without knowledge indeed sheer filth
Power of knowledge is mightier than sword
stronger than steel, sharper than diamond
Richest are the divine abodes of God
they are built with bricks of love for lord
Seeking only wealth and power is way of witless
recognized the seers, the intelligent and wise
gave the form for higher knowledge as Saraswaty
ever-flowing, Unseen River, enriching humanity
Wealth meant for all is the form of Lakshmi
on unattached lotus, so is harmless money!
Powerful and daring is the form of Shakti
strength to kill ego and make our life healthy
Navaratri reminds us through nine holy nights
to surpass darkness by the embrace of wisdom light!
======================================Quote
In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of - Confucius
======================================Humor
A lawyer defending a man accused of burglary tried a creative defense to get his client off the hook. "My client merely inserted his arm into the window and removed a few paltry items. His arm is not himself, so I fail to see how you can punish the whole individual for an offense committed solely by his arm."
"Well put," the judge replied with a grin. "Using that same logic, I sentence the defendant's arm to one year's imprisonment. Your client can accompany the arm or not, as he chooses."
The defendant smiled. With his lawyer's help, he detached his artificial limb, laid it on the bench and walked out.
