Lawka Niti






  • One who is lazy gains no knowledge.





  • One who has no knowledge gains no wealth.





  • One who has no wealth has no good companion.




  • One who has no good companion has no solace.




  • One who has no solace can not gain merit.




  • How can one find the way to Nirvana without good deeds




    In this world, there is no wealth equal to learning.



  • Thieves cannot steal learning.



  • Learning is the true friend and can give happiness.



  • Never think of knowledge and wisdom as little.


  • Seek it and store it in the mind.


  • Note that ant-hills are built with small particles of dust and incessantly falling rain-drops,when collected, can fill a big pot.


  • Never think of arts and science as trivial.


  • When learnt completely, even one kind of proficiency can be used as livelihood.


  • There is no ruby in every mountain.


  • There is no pearl in every elephant.


  • There is no sandalwood in every forest.


  • There is no sage in every place.


  • One who wants knowledge should get to the wise and learn seriously.


  • As a drum emits sound when struck the learned responds only when asked.


  • Asked or not, the uneducated speaks too much.

  • Chronicled knowledge shall not be regarded as one's own.

  • Property in the hands of other shall not be regarded as one's own.

  • Being cultured or not can be known by behaviour.

  • Being learned or not can be known by speech.

  • One with scanty knowledge tends to think a little learning a lot.

  • It is just as a puny frog, not having seen an ocean, thinks a little well lf water a lot.

  • Pursue education in early age.

  • Pursue wealth in middle age.

  • Pursue Dhamma in old age.

  • One without knowledge has to carry others' burden.

  • One who has knowledge is honoured by others.

  • So strive daily to get knowledge.

  • Parents must educate teh children while young.

  • If not, they will be4 unbecoming among others as a paddy - bird is unbecoming among hamsas.

  • For not being educated, son and parents can turn out to be an enemy.

  • Who sharpens the thorne to be pointed?

  • Who put eyedrops the deer's eye to be shiny?

  • who put scent in the lily growing in mud to be fragrant?

  • Those may happen by nature.

  • The good descendents should themselves try without help.

  • Listening and noting well enriches knowledge.

  • Knowledge enhances progress.

  • Man or cattle are capable of sleeping,eating or having sex.

  • Education is the quality where man excels.

  • There is no friend like learning.

  • There is no enemy like disease.

  • A hamsa is out of place among crows.

  • A lion is out of placeamong cattle.

  • A horse is out of placeamong donkeys.

  • Alearned man is out of place among the bad.

  • Just as the ladle knows not the taste of the curry,the foolish knows not Dhamma, eventhough close to the wise for life.

  • Just as the tongue knows the taste of the curry, so also does teh clever one know the Dhamma promptly, even by associating shortly with the wise.
