The Key of the Lock, Obstacles

Those are wrong like the bees who take the painting as real flowers And break their own stings, wrong are also the clouds that think to Forever hide the burning sun; the winds are not wise either when that try To shake the mountains of the world, the rays are not better If I am allowed to say so ,when that try to dry up the oceans, As all these know not what goes that comes round What appears wrong in one phase, in another the same is right and strong The phase is more important, even more important are time and place Context is another one to be kept in mind Same is the case when you go to decide To choose between mother tongue and foreign tongues Remember, my friend, there is nothing like short cuts Nor is there anything that happens in a moment or cause to happen suddenly Everything happens for a cause and that cause grows Like a tree that germinates from a thrown up seed or put into soil carefully The seed is not for anything that is quick; it has always a long time plan Here there is no scope to take views that is extreme to either side left or right I am not either here to tell you that the centrists are right Sometimes centrists are also found to be foolish Right are those who have a right sense of right proportion So I have a habit to say In life balance is the key To open up the door of success after breaking the lock of obstacles Here the key of blooming or the trick of flourishing is not lie in one tongue But in several tongues, go like a swift breeze and capture at least three To develop in you and in your nations The knowledge of science and technology Without which you are nothing, Only to be found grinding under the grinder of poverty.
