The misty clouds clearing the way for the morning Sunrise,
The day raises up the people from the night sleep
With divine songs and the chiming of temple bells .
Yes! Culture is not tradition obsolete and stagnant
But is creative beauty, unifying and lovely to follow
For human life to sustain knowledgeably and lovingly
Enhancing human value elevated towards divinity.
Temples created long ago stand beautifully longer
And lovely statues ever remain lively there;
This beauty is truth, perfect and permanent.
These symbolic arts show the eternal in the ephemeral;
Forever in harmony animal, human and divine live here
Reflecting the all embracing Nature naturally in this art of man.
The Sunlight of wisdom clears the misty clouds of confusions
And wakes up the people from the slumber to the shrewdness
To do subtle works with noble mind and humorous heart
Like the inspiring divine songs and the clear chiming temple bells.
Intelligence may be the mark of man’s civilisation,
But wisdom lies ever only in the human culture;
And the art of culture manifests in man’s memorable creations
Making the world a beautiful place to live in love and truth.
Temple, the treasure of life tells the truth to each generation
Of life to be lived in the best and beautiful way here
To enjoy and fulfil life’s destiny with satisfaction
As the harmony of music mirthfully in the world of Maya.
Never a loathsome thing if life lived as we liked;
But ever an irksome matter if you live an inhuman life.
Man should never be an animal if not a divine;
Neither animal nor divine, how best can we live
Singly or in family in the life of the world we love?
Bachelor life, a romantic one, cannot prolong to the end;
Romantic life, a lovely one, but is not morally the best;
Morally, intellectually, spiritually, romantically family life’s the best.
Nature, literature, music, dance and movie comprise culture;
The art of culture unites heart, mind and soul to make life complete;
But the way of life is left to the taste of the individual’s choice.
Choose the life of love, life of knowledge or life of work in the world;
But thoughtful work with synthesis of love and knowledge is king’s culture!
So, briefly these are the man’s ways of life man has to live in the world.
