XLV : Poem : Don't be impulsive !

 XLV :Poem

Ee Chevikorikina Nollaru

Vachavulaku Vindu manna Vakyambulache

Poochanu Badachula Nerichina

Aachandmu laye jagamu Lanniyu Vema !!

Telugu Version :

ఈ చెవికొరికిన నోళ్ళారు ,

వాచవులకు ,విందు మన్న వాక్యంబులచే ,

పూచను బడచుల నేరిచిన ,

ఆచందములాయె జగము లన్నియు వేమా. 

Meaning : Usually people listen to the gossips with interest and some fall prey to them and spoil the relationships with their own people. But a wise person will analyze the difference between opinion(Gossip) and the fact before he takes a decision. This wise act of analyzing is compared to the cautious  decision taken by wise young ladies who would be away from the company of young men and analyze their qualities and intentions before speaking to them. One should be wise enough to analyze the truth.

Story : Satyabhama the most loved wife of Lord Krishna was known for her pride and impulse.She was quite possessive about Lord Krishna and never accepted any others wives of Krishna .Once Narada who is known as kalahabhoja visited her palace and secretly shared a ritual that would make Lord Krishna surrender to her.Satyabhama impulsively agreed to perform that rite in which she has to weigh Lord Krishna with equivalent materialistic objects. Without realizing the fact that Krishna can be heavier than all the materialistic possessions of the world and one can win him only through devotion & nothing else.

She made all arrangements for the pooja and finally Krishna was made to sit on one side of the balance and all her possessions were dumped on the other side of the balance but in vain.She was aghast and finally Narada himself tells her to call Rukmini as she can weigh Krishna with her Purity of heart and staunch devotion.This story tells us that we need to analyze all the words spoken by others before plunging into action impulsively.
