It Is A Pleasure By Itself While He Does Not Desire Pleasure! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

It Is A Pleasure By Itself While He Does Not Desire Pleasure!



A person who is praising himself
to make others respect him

is similar to keep maintaining the fire flame
in the lamp by pouring cold water!

Is it not the good respect a person obtains
while he does not self praising himself?

Is it not a pleasure by itself
while he does not desire pleasure?
