X V Poem : A wise man has the strong connect between his thought and words .

XV : Poem :
Neetiloni vrata niluvaka yunnatlu 

Pati jagati ledu Saramu Ledu

Mata mata kella marunu Murkhudu 

Viswadha abhirama Vinura Vema.

Telugu : 

నీటిలోని వార్త నిలువక యున్నట్లు ,
పాటి జగతి లేదు సారము లేదు 
మాట మాట కెల్లా మారును మూర్ఖుడు 
విశ్వదాభిరామ వినురవేమ 


Meaning : The cunning and foolish persons will never adhere to their words and keep changing their versions very often. Their words should not be considered seriously as their words are equivalent to the writings on the water -their words are as short-lived as bubbles.hence one needs to follow and believe the words of wise people . In other words every word /statement that we listen has to be assessed thoroughly before believing it otherwise we will get into trouble.

Story : The best example for the above poem can be taken from our Indian History. Mohammed bin  Tughlak was a popular king of the Mughal dynasty. Though he was popular for a few revenue reforms like introducing coins for transactions, he gained notoriety for his foolish decisions that he always used to take and never used to listen to his ministers. Twice he had decided to shift his Capital as he used to rule from Daulatabad which is now in Maharastra to Delhi thinking that he could have  better control over is kingdom. He foolishly ordered all his subjects (instead of moving his cabinet ministers)to Delhi by road.and after few months and again decided to shift back to Daulatabad from Delhi. In this process, he lost money and human resources.
His Cabinet ministers too were too foolish to to follow his instructions and became instrumental in losing many lives.
We should be wise enough to assess and take a decision instead of blindly following the words of foolish people other we will be in trouble.
