जीवन लक्ष्य की ओर बढ़ नहीं पाता
यदि बढ़ भी जाय
दृढ़ रह नहीं पाता।
सुन भी रहे
देख भी तो रहे कि
सकल-कलाओं का प्रयोजन बना है

The, word 'Kalā’ itself indicates that
‘Ka', that is, the Soul' with happiness’
‘Lā', that is, to bring - to give’
There may be any art -
The life is flowered with happiness, peace and prosperity By each and every art,
There is real joy neither in the money itself
Nor through it !"
Having heard the utterings relating to art
Through the words of the family -

On seeing which, the family too –
