For a change, I am going to post some of YOGI VEMANA's  MOORKA PADDHATHI
slokamulu.


8) Yedde Dhelpavacchu Nedaadhikainanu
   Mauni Dhelpavacchu Maasamunane
   Moppe Dhelparaadhu Muppadhendldlakunaina
   Viswadhaabhiraama Vinuara Vemaa!               (Vemana's Telugu Poem)


   Telugu Tathparyam: Jnanamu Leni Vaadiki, Yedaadhi Naatikainanu Bodhimpa
		      Vacchunu.
		      Maatalaadaka Vundu Vaaniki, Nelalo Bodhimpa Vacchunu.
		      Kaani...MOORKHUNAKU Yennendlu Bodhinchinanuoo
		      Thalakekkadhu!


   ENGLISH :  An ingnoarant man can be taught anything in one year.
	      A man, who does not talk (including a dumb one) can be taught
	      anything in one month.
	      But a FOOL (STUPID, RUDE TWO LEGGED WALKING AND TALKING ANIMAL,
	      OBSTINANT BRAINLESS BEAST, AND PERSISTENT MAN WITHOUT CEREBRAL
	      CORTEX) can not be taught at all.



9) Yentha Chaduvu Chadhivi Yenniti Vinnanu
   Heenudu Avagunambu Maanaledu
   Boggu Paala Gaduga Bovunaa Nailyambu
   Viswadaabhiraama Vinuara Vemaa!                   (Vemana's Telugu Poem)


   Telugu Tathparyam: Yentha Chadivinanu,
		      Yenni Manchi Maatalu Vinnanu,
		      NEECHUDU Thana Chedda Gunamunu Viduvadu.


   ENGLISH:   One can receive the highest academic degree ever given by any
	      university.  One can listen to thousands of wise lectures.
	      But, if that person is a low level individual, he can not give up
	      his traits.



10) Yelugu Tholu Thechhi Yennallu Nudhikina
    Nalupu Nalupe Kaani Thelupu Kaadu.
    Koyya Bomma Dhecchi Kottinaa Palukunaa?
    Viswadaabhiraama Vinura Vemaa!                    (Vemana's Telugu Poem)


    Telugu Tathparyam: Yelugubanti Tholunu Yennallu Vuthikinanu Dhaani Nalupu
		       Poyi Thelupu Raadu.
		       Koyya Bommanu Yentha Kottinanu, Adhi Palukadhu.
		       Atle, MOORKHUNAKU Yentha Cheppinanu Bodhapadadhu!


     ENGLISH: Inspite of washings for one year, the Yelugubanthi Tholu can not
	      be made Thelupu.
	      The wooden doll seldom speaks after tireless tortures.
	      Similarly a FOOL (STUPID) can never understand anything even if he
	      is taught million times.


 11) Ogunogu Mecchu Nonaramga Najnani
     Bhaavamicchi Mecchu Barama Lubdhu
     Bandhi Buradha Mecchu Banneeru Mecchunaa?
     Viswadaabhiraama Vinura Vemaa!                   (Vemana's Telugu Poem)


     Telugu Tatparyam: Chedda Vaadu Chedda Vaanine Mecchukonunu Gaani Manchi
		       Vaanini Mecchukonadu.
		       Ajnani Lubdhune Mecchunu.
		       Yetlanagaa, Pandhiki Buradhaye Yisthamainadhi.
		       Panneeru Dhaaniki Yisthamu Vundadhu.

     ENGLISH: A spoiled brat will only praise his own species.
	      But, that crook will never praise a gentleman.
	      An ignorant man will only admire a miser.
	      Similarly, the pig loves mud but will never care for perfumes.


 12) Ogu Baagerugaka Yuttha Moodha Janmbu
     Nila Sudhee Janamula Nencha Joochu
     Karini Gaanchi Kukka Morigina Soumyamaa!
     Viswadaabhiraama Vinura Vemaa!                    (Vemana's Telugu Poem)


     Telugu Tatparyam : MOORKHULU Manchi Cheddalu Gamanimpaka, Buddhimanthulanu
			Lakshyamu Cheyyaru.
			Dhaani Valana Nasthamemi?
			Yenugu Venaka Kukka Morigina, Yenuguku Nashtamemi?


     ENGLISH: FOOLS (STUPIDS) are not able to differentiate between good and
	      evil, thereby will not care for WISE HUMAN BEINGS.
	      Who is the loser here?
	      Dogs bark behind the ELEPHANT only.
	      Elephant does not care.
