A river never sips or drinks
The water flowing by its brinks.
A tree won’t eat the fruits it flowers,
A cloud won't reap the crops it showers.
The worthy share their worth with others:
Their fellow sisters, fellow brothers.

pibanti nadyah svayameva nabhyah svayam na khadanti phalani vrikshah |
nadanti sasyam khalu varivahah paropakaraya satam vibhutayah ||

Fight anger with serenity
And nastiness with amenity.
Fight selfishness with charity
And lies with truth and clarity.

akrodhena jayet krodhamasadhum sadhuna jayet |
jayet kadaryam danena jayet satyena chanritam ||
