Sai Madhuryam

What greater misfortune can there be 

Than the failure of Bharatiyas 

To understand the true greatness 

Of their ancient and sacred culture? 

To cavil at others' faults 

And to be blind to one's own; 

To jeer at others' looks, 

Not noticing one's own ugliness; 

To make fun of others 

And not see one's own follies; 

To have such qualities from birth 

Can there be a greater sin than this?
