Discovering The Self Poem by Gajanan Mishra

Waste not your time
O my dear, by sleeping long time.
Sleeping makes you lethargic
And you are to go on dreaming
out of this you cannot get anything.

Be careful my dear, rise, awake
and perform your own obligatory duties.
Indulge not yourself in idle pursuits,
Take not forbidden food and
try to stand on your own foot.

Going on searching real knowledge
enabled you to reach at a point
where you discovered yourself in
Colorful light for all time.
