Light Of Knowledge

If wealth is lost, Something is lost. If health is lost, Everything is lost. So, health is the best. If wealth is given, The unsatisfied receiver Still asks for more, And unhappy the donor Becomes being the loser. If food is offered, The satisfied receiver Says 'Enough, no more, ' When the zealous Feeder Still offers to give more. If knowledge is imparted, The disciplined receiver Wants it more and more, While the intelligent master Perfects himself still further. When one lamp lights Many other lamps, It doesn't lose its Self-effulgent brightness. So is the knowledge, as the light is. It's needless to say, The darkness goes away In the presence of light, So the ignorance exits When the knowledge exists.
