11. Admire aperson
Forhis happiness
For his concern
For theone who left
Remember him
Wish him a good company
For the one who troubles
Be modest
For the unwise one
andthe one who misleads
Feed him with nectar of knowledge
Treatthe aged parents
likethat of children - - -Rathna Deepa

12.Can a physically fit
Beg from others?
Justfor having a tongue
Can any one speak ill?
Just for having hands
Can any one hit?
Just for having legs
Can any one kick?
Free movements of body
Doesn't mean,
can swing it as he wishes?
If Oneawakenshimself
He can move the wheels of life
For his own good.- - - Rathna Deepa

13.Tiger, deer rabbit cheetaare all forest dwellers
Will atiger and deer make friendship?
Tiger eats deer and fills its hunger
For the survival animals eat one another
Before them if you preach legendary
Can any one take an oath about non-violence - - -Rathna Deepa


14. Let bad habit vanish within you
Good deeds bud within you
Let your soul be a smooth dais
Let your mind open for specialization
Don't let your ears for bad words
Don't let yourselfbuilt a hut for harsh words
Bow down for self decision - - - Rathna Deepa

15. Be engaged in good deeds
Let your tongue speak good words
Don't be a slave to arrogant persons
Don't boast of yourself before the stage
While walking any one can skip
But must be alert
For every talk don't quarrel
While serving food in the dine
Don't discriminate
For short and sweet words
there is no doubts- - - Rathna Deepa



16. Enchantwill not free you

In the fieldbeingbehind enchant
In the prayer hall pretendinglike a devotee
Why run behind enchant?
Making the mind rubbish
Encircling in the enchant
Forgetting humanity - - - Rathna Deepa


17. Teenage bloomsand
spreads its fragrance

forgets its directions
Triesto putthe

The entire world revolves
around the women
Is ita unknown game or
Knowingly displaying enchantsor
God only throw the dice who knows?
But inthe name of God
Please don'tdo offences in his name - - - Rathna Deepa

18. Own brother
For the sake of owner ships
Becomes an enemy
For the sake of property
Own sister files a suit
For the sake of Gold
Relatives bring us to street.
Wife becomesan accuser
Separate herselffrom
Marriage bondage
Husband lets out wife
For adultery
Bondage links becomes
Poisonous thorn
Fools refusingmothers affection
Worthless money materialand
Craving for women
He is reallya crazy person
Ifshown concern
Willhe become human being? - - - Rathna Deepa


19. One who is fond of wealth and status
Don't climb the horse
Morality and faithfulness sincerity
Are shelters for life
Don't detach from kin & kith
Andbecomea hypocrite
Friendliness with a wealthier
Turns you to greedy
The company of a rude person
Willbe a thorn bed
Worldly attachmentshould be ripen
The one who foregoes
Domination & fascination
Will become a Great person.- - - Rathna Deepa
