My Dear Son, Worry Not Poem by Gajanan Mishra

My dear son, worry not.
Let us remember, we have
no control over anything.
But we have to restrained
ourselves from everything
that seems harmful.
Though we know not what
is harmful and what is
beneficial for us here.
But my dear, as you are
a student, you have to
renounce anger first, then
greed, then delicious dishes,
care for beauty, entertainment,
sex, excessive sleep and sycophancy.
My dear son, be active always and
do whatever you are doing
sincerely and timely.
