Knowing the answer advise is asked generally,
Following the same be rare unquestionably,
After giving it do ever be indifferent perfectly,
And never expect it to be followed truthfully. [1]
In giving advise seek to help - not please only,
Most receive advise but profit from it hardly,
Advise received should not be framed clearly,
Its implementation be the solution surely. [2]
Advise uncalled for should never be given,
Advise from person in difficulty not taken,
Keep advise from loved ones - even unpleasant,
Never advise on war, marriage or such event. [3]
Advise from friends receive open mindedly,
Never give up to it or follow it blindly,
Whether right or wrong grasp totally,
With judicious reserve comprehend fully. [4]
If asked for advise - give wholeheartedly,
Even if knowing its acceptance be failingly,
For in giving the same it helps your clarity,
Showing your own life's path - so lucidly. [5]
