Kannadasa Dasan writes

NOT IN BOOKS

Wake up like the morning lotus 

Involve in the pleasant music!

Name and fame are ocean waves 

Keep away from the human noise!

Let knowledge mingle with truth

See gold and iron as the same! 

Let all your actions be worth

Stand straight like a palm tree!

You win yourself to win others

Don’t waste your time in dreams! 

Peace and joy are not in books

Sex and desires are fire and guns!

Let the endless sky be the roof

And this earth be your house! 

Let fruits and greens be your stuff

Let your heart be filled with peace!

Let your power be in your growth

Love is the wealth of this world! 

Let your breath prove your strength

A torch is enough for a short road!

Sorrows are nothing than the fog

All- All in our life come and goes! 

Make this world as a little song

Don’t shed tears for any sort of loss!
