Panchatantra Punches Part 18

86. When the Gods of wealth, war, water and fire engaged themselves in a war, they all lost - For victory is neither in the hands of Gods or men !!!

87. The firefly looks like fire,
      The sky appears flat,
       Yet the sky and fly are neither this or that.

88. The false seems true and the true seems false, but appearances deceive, so think it through.

89. A ruler should first take fit and friendly advice and hear it more than once. Then think about it from first to last. Finally act and harvest fame and fortune, avoiding the absurd.

90. A friend is some one who understands what you do. A friend is someone who tells you the truth about yourself.

And here ends the mega series of Panchatantra Punches which I have been posting over months. I hope readers enjoyed each and every punch so far posted. It would have definitely provoked the thinking process of each and every one. If I get to know some thing interesting for another series , you can expect some parts of wisdom again. May be some poems and thoughts or messages will be circling around next in this blog. Until then.....
