The Knowledgeable Persons Don’t Alter Their Mind From Doing Good! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Knowledgeable Persons Don’t Alter Their Mind From Doing Good!

Rating: 5.0


O’ the port chieftain who owns the ocean
…with broad waves throwing into the land!

Even if the people to whom one showed compassion
…has no virtuous character and behavior,

Will the knowledgeable persons alter their mind
…from doing goodness for such people?

Is it not the duty to feed such people to whom they had
…friendship, well known to the people around in their place?

A man of wisdom with a virtuous heart will not keep away from doing good! He will surely give love and show kindness to his friends and foes alike! Great translation!
