A useless person likes laziness. He never likes taking any efforts. He always has cravings for something improper. He is always confused and sleepy. He speaks rubbish in many ways. He never soothes anyone's mind. He does not like writing or reading. He listens to none. He never maintains any books of accounts. He does not have an attentive mind. He loses something, drops something, breaks something, commits many mistakes and mischiefs. He never likes the company of good people. He gets into the company of useless people. There are some persons who are always ready to do something bad. He has many such persons as his friends. He also ropes in the thieves and the sinners. He is very attentive to tarnish others and to steal something. He hurts others and parts with their share. He least understands the long term thinking and the principles of equity. He always longs for something that belongs to others. He is very comfortable as he sleeps a lot but he is also hungry as he is not able to get food. He is friend of none. He speaks many harsh words. He is so foolish that he can be tamed by none. He rakes up fights against the pious people. He wholeheartedly gets into the company of useless people. He always likes very much the thing that is highly condemned in the world. He does not find any scope for social well being. He causes harm to many. He is a sinner and a useless fellow. He cannot attain any congruence and logic in his activities. He is never careful while speaking. He cannot be tamed in any way. None likes what he says.

No one relies on him. None is friendly to him. He does not have any knowledge or riches. Still he is very proud of his status. He who soothes minds of many makes his future bright. But someone who is useless will not listen to such good advice. Now what remedy can be there for his problems. He dreams of great things. He gets nothing. He is always confused and he builds castles in the air. How someone can clean his mind if his mind is distracted from the noble path. He does not have any determination and renders himself useless due to nonsense. He speaks in a gathering of people though he understands nothing. Then people come to know that he is foolish. A person who can demonstrate his good qualities to people gets recognition from the people. Recognition from people does not come free of cost. Those who demonstrate bad qualities are put to shame on many occasions. Someone who is useless, he does not get into the company of good. He takes no efforts to make himself wise. He who behaves like this is an enemy of himself. He does not understand his own good. When we do good to someone then we are doing good to us for future. He who does not understand this is a useless person. A quality which is not approved by many is a bad quality in itself. We should understand the cause and effect relationship. Still we should also note that nothing can be demonstrated if there is no effect (and only cause). One who sits idle is flowing in the river of sorrows. He is perished by the passing of time. He who is not approved by many is a sinner. He does not get any shelter anywhere. Thatswhy one should shun the bad qualities. Now he will get everything.
