Ptahotep -/- Nichiren
1
Ptahotep
Because nobody embodies perfection
Craftsmanship invites innovation
Loving energies envitalise being
Ensuring open channels
Our most wonderful offspring
Obey parental edicts
World measures best conduct
With rulers unbending
***
Introducing violence into society
Attracts fatal blows
Governmental disfavours rise swiftly
Like attacking crocodiles
Before slanderweeds take root
Ruthlessly dispel rumours
2
Nichiren
Despite injustices abounding abundantly
Stresstimes dissipate always
Eyelashes, close, yet invisible
Resemble internal divinity
Better mastering one’s thoughts –
Beware enslaving mentality
Life’s infinitely priceless days
Outvalue uncountable treasuries
***
Prosperity’s elation, declination’s morbidity –
Worthy person’s nightmares
Creating order’d, tranquil community
Ensures personal security
Suffering suffering, enjoying enjoyment
Life’s unchallengeable remit
Socrates -/- Muhammad
14:3
Socrates
Knowing you know nothing
Life’s true knowledge
Beware most lonely barrenness
Enclosing busy lives
Without enjoying bodily strength
Fools age shamefully
Smallest acts of courage
Deem courageous, nevertheless
***
Education’s better kindling flames
Before filling vessels
Strong minds discuss ideas,
Weak minds, people
From conversation springs wisdom
Avoid lengthy monologues
14:4
Muhammad
Divinity examines hearts, deeds,
Ignoring ephemeral possessions
As kindness enters something
Its essence beautified
Only perfect piety, posipraxis,
Defines human superiority
When entity disturbs heartpeace
Relinquish its control
***
Courteously, upon fathers’ deaths,
Befriend their friends
Visit invalids, feed hunger,
Release unjust captives
Wherever we’ll observe wealth
Investigate invisible impoverishment
Confucius -/- Krishna
14:5
Confucius
Minds praising unwayward virtuousness
Humanity’s concordances obey
Embrace sincerity, principalise faithfulness
Dismiss depraved thought
Extravagantial desires inspire insurbordination
Caution seldom errs
Where wisdom disavows perplexity
Virtue reneges anxiety
***
Unwish’d for by oneself
Never render elsewhere
Because unpleasant faults possess’d
Accept abandonment stoically
Desperados seeking constant advantages
Deserve constant scorn
14:6
Krishna
Beyond delusion’s turbid quicksand
Renunciates glide effortlessly
Heaven’s billion shining suns
Mirrors Self’s brilliance
Despite reality being indestructable
Illusions easily shatter
As people spurn burning
Evil avoids enlightenment
***
Minds freed from torment
Find best decisions
Vanishing fears, shattering passions;
Enstasy smashes aversion
Like tortoiseshells armouring limbs
Contrashield sinful thinking
Mahavira -/- Guru Nanak
14:7
Mahavira
Righteously renunciating passionate attatchments
Transcends mundane animation
Echoing ditches protecting townships
Nonattachment controls sensation
Desiring passion’s satisfying stormzone
Practicing asceticism irrealizable
Whenever soul shackl’d internally
External renunciation meaningless
***
Heated gold remains gold
Enlightenedness always enlightened
Whether pleasur’d, whether pain’d,
Pure consciousness equanimous
Like oceans sheltering fish
Truthfulness safeguards virtues
14:8
Guru Nanak
Striving for religious tolerance
Fashions universal Humanhood
Our bodies are fields
Our minds, ploughmen
Universal deity ignores dogma
While devoiding doctrine
As invisible flower’s fragrance
So are souls
***
Eternal meditation’s transcendental flight
Disciplines, purifies, tranquilitizes
Meditation’s simple equanaminous devotion
Allows nobody’s monopoly
Principlising spiritual, suprapersonal heights
Humanity penetrates Divinity
Jesus -/- Kabir
14:9
Jesus
Receiving brings happiness, yes,
But giving moreso
As knocks are answer’d
Our searchings discover
Because worrying adds nothing
Contentment’s incredibleness everything
Only looking elsewhere lustfully
Commits adultery… still
***
Acolytes celebrating Omniscient Divinity
Refuse money’s worship
As Jesus loves you
Love one another
Believers trusting unbeatable Divinity
Possess untroubl’d hearts
14:10
Kabir
Our minds are knots
Untying never easy
When vicewaves swamp mentalities
Bearhug virtuous mindrocks
When Divine vessels dock
Board them immediately
Our soulswans soar heavenwards
From corporeal lakes
***
Greater kings above Ravana
Vanish’d within eyeblinks
Cretins setting houses alight
Lock themselves inside
Waters draining into rivers
These rivers absorb
Vedas -/- Buddha
14:11
Vedas
Indivisible lives, interdependent existences
Humanity’s cardiovascular reverberation
When entering realization’s ecstasy
Every bondage dissappears
Following fear, decay, death:
Infinite peace attainable
Highest Self’s endless bliss,
Unconditioned limitless consciousness
***
Yesterday’s dream, tomorrow’s vision,
Today? Live well!
Happier memories, promising futures,
Good days deliver
Enoy today’s lifebreathing brevity
Delivering existence’s myriadity
14:12
Buddha
Dismiss single sacred languages
Chastise inflexible dogmas
Fasting during practicing austerities
Weakens ascetical insight
Realizing Nirvana’s supreme benefit
Releases hankering cravings
Sun, stars, moon, truth;
Never hidden remain
***
Lonely musings, tranquil meditations,
Purify flurrying worries
Because thinking shapes personality
Maintain pure thought
Altho’ change cometh inevitably
Personality directs transformations
Solomon -/- Lao Tzu
14:13
Solomon
Foolishness accompanies discernment’s destitution
Understanding facilitates uprighteousness
Never boast about tomorrow
Before passes today
Collectedly overlooking transgressions discretefully
Humanity’s glorious perfection
Better eating peaceful morsels
Before strifeful feasts
***
Fittest words golden apples
Set in silver
Like fires without logwood
Strife without talebearers
Lips eternizing truth destroy
Lying tongues’ momentariness
14:14
Lao Tzu
From nothing comes something
From something, creatures
Without looking thro’ windows
Heaven’s visibility remains
If ignorance feigns knowledge
Ireddemable difficulties launch
As water benefits humanity
Ability influences affairs
***
Striving to achieve nothing
Revealeth The Way
The Way nourishes everything
As rivulets, rivers
Tho’ easy The Way
People paths prefer
