Cmp 11. Nimai's Studies In School

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU With books, Nimai was seen, As, in studies, he was so keen, His Master told, "You'll become A Scholar in course of time." In appearance he was like Cupid. In studies, he was always ahead. His curly hair, tilak on his face, Beautified more his appearance. His sparkling lotus eyes, His ever-smiling lips, His simple dressing sense, All attracted his classmates. In class, he would explain Answers so clear and clean, This kept down other boys, Exposed of their weakness. While bathing or eating, While walking or talking His only thought was On Shatra's conclusions. In his very young age, On acquiring knowledge, He spent more days Than the other activities. "A world full of offenses, And spiritual blindness, Only could be found In society materially bound." "People marry, beget children, Work day and night to earn Their livelihood and then Die for no rhyme or reason." "With their growing wants, They've no time to chant, On Krishna, the Lord's name, And waste their precious time." While deeply studying, Like this, he was thinking, How best he could carry them In the spiritual path with him.
