Behave in Life as in a Banquet
Behave in Life as in a Banquet
A dish is handed around
and comes to you
put your hand and take it politely
and comes to you
put your hand and take it politely
If It passes you
Do not stop it
It has not reached you
don't be impatient to get it
rather wait till your turn comes
rather wait till your turn comes
Bear yourself thus to - Children, Wife, Office, Wealth
and one day
you will be worthy to banquet with Gods!
and one day
you will be worthy to banquet with Gods!
