The Ignorance. Poem by Gangadharan nair Pulingat..

He got the wise advise of his father
Go and study the life truths
Accept the best advises of the wise teacher
And comeback becoming a scholar yourself
The values of human life, a worthy life
To lead a life of much knowledgeable one
I think knowledge makes oneself equipped
To pass the life journey in calmness
In fact knowledge is the perfect thing
That the great source of self enlightenment
Gather the truths from teacher and surroundings
And go with the world with unity of mind
Experience yourself the happiness of knowledge
But I can only tell the mind is yours
Properly the son adhered the advise
And went to the teacher the father suggested
And studied well the lessons in time
And thought himself he is fulfilled the wishes
And came back with happiness
When the father asked what you learned
His answer was all I have learned about life
Then the father answered you are not learned
Go to another wise teacher for follow up
There he went in reluctance but disciplined
And came back after years of learning
The question repeated once while by the father
The answer of the son was different
That more I have to learn from others
My so far studies are limited my dear father
The great father told him
Now your eyes are opened and brain in order
Learn yourself more and more in life
Everything in world is your teacher in future
Every corner and incident are lessons
Every sacrifice and duties are also there
Make your brain and intelligcence ever ready
And study well about the world more and more
The light is knowledge and darkness is ignorance
And keep yourself away from ignorance.
