Read the conversation between an old man (a commoner) and a royal Prince and answer the questions

 O Noble Prince, May Your Light Guide Everyone

Old Man (A Commoner): O noble prince, I’ve walked this land so long,
I’ve seen both right and many a wrong.
Tell me, son, what makes a prince so true,
Is it the gold he wears or the deeds he’ll do?

Prince: Good sir, I wear no crown of gold,
No treasure can make a heart so bold.
A prince is royal not for riches or fame,
But for respect, kindness, and a humble name.

Old Man: O, royal prince, you speak with wisdom rare,
But can you live it, can you bear
To guide the weak and help the poor,
And care for others, forevermore?

Prince: Yes, elder, I will do my best,
To serve with honor, to give the rest.
I’ll show compassion, patience, and care,
I’ll be generous, just, and always fair.

Old Man: And courage, boy, when dangers rise?
Will you stay brave, will you be wise?
A prince’s light is not in gold,
But in the strength of the heart he holds.

Prince: I’ll stand for truth, defend the right,
Speak with honesty, and act with might.
I’ll guide the lost, I’ll heal the pain,
I’ll share my joy, and ease all strain.

Old Man: You see, young prince, it’s not the crown,
It’s how you act, not what’s handed down.
Humility, respect, and loyalty too,
These are the qualities that make a prince true.

Prince: I will remember, wise old man,
To lead with righteousness and justice wherever I can.
No wealth or riches will guide my way,
But courage, kindness, and what I say.

Old Man: Then shine your light for all to see,
Be a prince who cares for you and me.
With wisdom, patience, and a generous heart,
You’ll play your noble, royal part.

Prince: Thank you, sir, your words are clear,
I promise to serve all those near.
May my light guide both great and small,
With fairness, respect, and love for all.

Old Man: O noble prince, may your light guide everyone,
And may your life be like the sun.
Royal not by wealth, but by what is right,
A true prince shining in day and night.

O Noble Prince, May Your Light Guide All

Old Man: O prince, I’ve walked this land so long,
I’ve seen both right and many a wrong.
Tell me, boy, what makes a prince true—
Is it gold, or the good deeds you do?

Prince: Good sir, no crown or treasure bold
Can measure the heart or make one hold
Respect, fairness, and integrity,
A prince is made by his deeds, you see.

Old Man: Remember, son, history shows
Many kings let their power impose.
Treat all fairly, guard what is right,
And never let your strength give fright.

Prince: I will serve with courage and care,
Show justice, kindness, and always be fair.
I’ll guide the lost, defend the weak,
And let my actions, not riches, speak.

Old Man: Then shine your light for all to see,
A true prince is noble in humility.
With wisdom, fairness, and a generous heart,
You’ll honor your place, playing your part.

Happiness is Like a Guest - A Simple Thought Inspired by Rabindranath Tagore’s Athithi

Happiness is like a guest. It comes into our lives for a little while, makes us smile, and then quietly leaves. We cannot keep it forever, just like we cannot hold on to a guest who must go. Rabindranath Tagore’s short story Athithi (which means "The Guest") shows us this idea in a beautiful way. In the story, a young boy named Tarapada comes to a kind family. They treat him with love, and for a while, everyone is happy. But one day, without telling anyone, Tarapada leaves. He loved being with them, but he could not stay in one place. He wanted to be free. Tarapada is like happiness. He came, brought joy, and left. The story helps us understand that we should enjoy happy moments while they are with us. But when they pass, we should not be sad. Just like a good guest, happiness will come again one day. This teaches us to be thankful for the joy we have, even if it doesn’t last forever.

The Three Faces: Japanese Psychology

The Three Faces: Understanding Japanese Psychology and the Mask of Self-Expression Japanese psychology introduces a fascinating and insightful concept about the different "faces" that individuals wear in various situations. Known as tatemae and honne , these ideas are often used to describe the complexity of human behavior, especially when navigating social dynamics in a culture that places great emphasis on harmony, respect, and group cohesion. According to this theory, a person has multiple faces, or personas, which they adopt depending on the context and the people they interact with. These three faces are: The First Face: Tatemae (The Public Mask) The Second Face: Honne (The True Self) The Third Face: The Self With Close Relationships Each of these faces provides insight into how people balance social expectations and personal desires, shedding light on the pressure individuals may feel to conform or protect themselves emotionally. Let’s take a deeper look at these three...

Be Like a Seed; When Someone Tries to Compress You, You Make Your Way Out

  Life is not always smooth. Many times, people or situations try to hold us back. They try to control us, limit us, or press us down with negativity, criticism, or challenges. But in those moments, we must remember to be like a seed. A seed is very small and weak in appearance. It gets buried deep under the soil. The soil covers it, presses it from all sides, and keeps it in darkness. But the seed doesn’t give up. Instead, it gathers all its strength, grows roots, and pushes upward. It breaks through the soil and comes out into the sunlight. This is the power of patience, strength, and growth. In life, too, when people try to suppress you with words, actions, or by creating difficulties, don’t give up. Build your strength silently, stay positive, and keep moving forward. Remember, pressure can’t stop a seed from growing. And pressure shouldn’t stop you, either. Be like a seed, and when someone tries to compress you, rise above, break through, and create your own path towards succe...
