Wealth is worshipped as God.

Selfishness has become the basis of life.

Pomp and show have become the fashion of the day.

Ego is ruling supreme in every one.

Ambition makes men ignore righteousness.

(Golden Age, p. 97)

A tree can be fashioned without any twist and turn,

A stone can be fashioned without any defect.

Can we fashion the mind without any defect?

The word of Sai is the word of truth. (Telugu Poem)
