When you come across a cash-bundle,
To defraud, your mind may just kindle,
Such a wrong feeling, carefully handle,
Dwindles to zero your life if you swindle.
-
There will be conscience' constant pricking,
It is definitely an act against God's liking,
For a steal-deal, thoughts will be striking,
Is not such an acquisition damn shocking?
-
Money earned after hard-labor,
Can't be erased by fate like rubber,
But if you act as a secret robber,
Remember, you are no longer sober.
-
Our wealth is surely God's fixation,
Little wealth mustn't give vexation,
Too much wealth is lost by taxation,
Try for enough wealth's accumulation.
-
Hundred Rupees if you hold,
To give alms for Rs. 20 be bold,
Dharma is more precious than gold,
You will realize this when you grow old.
-
Success and failure will always alternate,
Pleasure and pain are brought by fate,
Death alone is man's ultimate mate,
Man's noble deeds must consummate.
-
Wealth and health are twins,
Both are lost by doing sins,
Ultimately God alone wins,
Bodies are just dustbins.
-
Where there is honesty, there is character,
Before God if a man behaves like an actor,
God will start with great power to monitor,
To those toiling, God will supply nectar.
-
Money is a very dangerous commodity,
If it is acquired via duty, it has utility,
If in the executed duty, there is no quality,
It imposes upon your peace a death penalty.
-
Though money seems to make life a paradise,
One can never take it when one at last dies,
Acquire money without cheating or telling lies
Or else away your Goddess of peace surely flies!
