There is no disease like debt,

There is no charity greater than feeding the hungry,

There are no greater gods than parents,

There is no greater Dharma than compassion,

There is greater gain than the company of the good.

There is no greater enemy than good anger,

There is no wealth greater than reputation,

Bad reputation is death itself.

There is no ornament better than the chanting of

God’s Name. (Telugu poem)
