Lesson


Disciple has to know
what he wants to learn
Subjects are many
as are the waves of mind
Mastery of one is difficult
master of all we can’t be.

*

Learning a few lessons
scholars we acclaim
How cheap are degrees,
cheaply won by rote
Imbibing not life
mere theories we memorize
Storing data in mind
scholarship list we top
Learning few basics
integrated knowledge we lack
True disciple we require
not a hoard of scholars

    The blind man still avoids the ditch
    .. that makes the 'seeing' stumble
    The fool escapes the 'just to clever' speech
    .. that makes the Statesman tumble
    So I .... who had the finest mind
    .. became the lowest of mankind
