Satisfactory Feeling Of ‘enough' Is The Golden Medicine For Human Beings! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

Satisfactory Feeling Of ‘enough' Is The Golden Medicine For Human Beings!



The fire that engulfs the firewood more and more
As long as it gets fed into its mouth will not stay for ever
Without extinguishing; It will definitely get extinguished
When it was not fed with more input of firewood!

Likewise, for the small creatures like human beings
Who are not satisfied with whatever wealth they got,
But still wanting to get the things more and more,
The huge wealth which is not easily obtained!

Acquiring such wealth will be extremely rare and difficult!
There is no limit for the desire to accumulate wealth;
The mentality and satisfactory feeling of ‘enough'
Is the golden medicine for human beings to live longer!

இரு விகற்ப நேரிசை வெண்பா

பெற்ற சிறுகப் பெறாத பெரிதுள்ளும்
சிற்றுயிர்க்கு ஆக்கம் அரிதம்மா - முற்றும்
வரவர வாய்மடுத்து வல்விராய் மாய
எரிதழன் மாயா திரா.64 - நீதிநெறி விளக்கம்
