I learn a great lesson from your narration

కొంతమంది చూడటానికి ఆకార పుష్టితో ఉంటారు. కానీ, తెలివితేటలు అంతగా ఉండవు. ఇంకొంతమంది పీలగా గాలికి కొట్టుకుపోయేలా కనిపిస్తారు. అయితేనేం, బుద్ధిలో బృహస్పతులు.

కొంతమంది చూడటానికి ఆకార పుష్టితో ఉంటారు. కానీ, తెలివితేటలు అంతగా ఉండవు. ఇంకొంతమంది పీలగా గాలికి కొట్టుకుపోయేలా కనిపిస్తారు. అయితేనేం, బుద్ధిలో బృహస్పతులు. మరికొంతమందిలో బుద్ధి, భుజబలాలు రెండూ ఉంటాయి కానీ, నైతికంగా బలహీనులు. వీరిలో ఆత్మబలం లోపం. మనిషికి ఈ మూడు బలాలు ఎంత ముఖ్యమో వివేక్‌, రాజు ముచ్చట్లు చదివితే తెలుస్తుంది.

Vivek: By the name or appearance.
Raju: Have you observed anything strange or surprising?

Vivek: We expect a man to be like somebody. But they turn out to be different.
Raju: How do you expect something of someone?

Vivek: By the name or appearance.
Raju: Have you observed anything strange or surprising?

Vivek: You know Ranjith, don’t you? Such a strong man.
Raju: Yes. Tall and strong. Has an athletic build.

Vivek: Ask him to add 2 and 2, he will say 22.
Raju: Are you joking?

Vivek: No. That is his mental ability.
Raju: No brains!

Vivek: Ask him which gas we breathe, he will say hydrogen.
Raju: I can’t believe it.

Vivek: I told Sujith about these new truths and discoveries.
Raju: Did he fume at this?

Vivek: Fume? He fainted. You know how fragile he is.
Raju: Yes. Quite the opposite of Ranjith. Sujith looks weak and emaciated.

Vivek:He is incredibly weak. He can stand neither a pleasant surprise nor a sudden shock.
Raju: But a very bright and clever guy.

Vivek: That is what I was about to say. A first ranker in exams&
Raju: A prize winner in elocution and essay-writing competitions.

Vivek: He has intelligence and industry but no immunity.
Raju: What an observation! By the by, think of Ajith.

Vivek: Ajith, the officer?
Raju: Yes. Are you not jealous of him?

Vivek: Why should I be envious of him?
Raju: He is so healthy and so bright. Became an officer at a young age.
Vivek: Didn’t you hear the news?
Raju: What news?

Vivek: Ajith in ACB net!
Raju: Stunning news! How did it happen?

Vivek: Caught red-handed taking a bribe.
Raju: Is he corrupt and dishonest?

Vivek: Yes. Has no moral compunctions. Doesn’t believe in ethics.
Raju: I learn a great lesson from your narration.

Vivek: What is it?
Raju: That real strength means physical, intellectual and moral strength.

Vivek: Didn’t our sages say one should attain to bahubalam, buddhibalam and atmabalam?
