Know yourself

जो जानता है और जानता है की वो जानता है उससे सीखो,
जो नहीं जानता और जानता है की वो नहीं जानता है उसको सिखाओ,
जो नहीं जानता है और नहीं जानता है की वो नहीं जानता है उससे बचो।

I heard these lines yesterday, at the first go I laughed at it saying is this a puzzle where we have to guess the number of times the word 'जानता' appears in the sentence. My second question was what to do with a person जो जानता है औए नहीं जानता है की वो जानता है। But after reading the lines over again I understood the real meaning of it and then I realised these lines are so true and if followed religiously they would help one succeed in life.

It is amazing how some simple things have a big impact on the life of people and how these simple things could help us make the most out of things in life. It also showed me the sorry fact that people often just laugh at things and let them pass rather than trying to analyse them and give them what they deserve. If you try to match people with the qualities advocated by these lines, you are sure to end up finding people who are exactly as described. I actually did and then when I summarized I found that most people fall in the third category, I somehow also feel sometimes that I know a particular thing when actually I don't. I guess we will be more successful if we can somehow fall in the first or second category (as mentioned in lines). Amazing.
