Faith And Effort: A Lesson For Learners Poem by Rajendra Prasad Meena Jaipur India

Faith And Effort: A Lesson For Learners

Some students leave their books aside
And place their hopes where prayers reside.
They ask the divine to clear each test,
Yet leave unread the chapter's quest.

Faith brings calm to restless mind,
Peace and strength of gentle kind.
But marks are born where effort stays,
In thoughtful nights, in studious days.

God does not write the answers down,
Nor walks the exam hall, pen and gown.
He helps the hands that choose to rise,
To read, to think, to analyze.

First know the theme your lessons teach,
Read every line within your reach.
Reflect, connect, go deep, be slow—
That is the path where knowledge grows.

Understand, then question why,
Let shallow learning pass you by.
When meaning forms within your head,
The right answers come, clearly read.

Temples give peace, not printed grades;
Syllabi yield what effort trades.
This truth, with care, is clearly shown
By Rajendra, with respectful tone.

He teaches faith with balanced sight:
Work is duty; prayer is light.
Stand up, wake up, take control—
True success depends on soul and goal.
