Efforts succeed by waxing star
Wealth-losing brings waning star.
Loss-fate makes a dull fool of us
Gain-fate makes us prosperous, wise.
What matters subtle study deep?
Levels of innate wisdom-keep.
Two natures in the world obtain
Some wealth and others wisdom pin.
In making wealth fate changes mood;
The good as bad and bad as good.
Things not thine never remain
Things destined are surely thine.
Who crores amass enjoy but what
The Dispenser's decrees allot.
The destitute desire will quit
If fate with ills visit them not.
Who good in time of good perceive
In evil time why should they grieve?
What power surpasses fate? Its will
Persists apinst the human skill.
DESTINY
