Gnanam

Naasti Vidya samam Chakshuhu naasti Satyasamam Tapaha |
Naasti Raagasamam Dukham naasti Tyaagasamam Sukham ||

There's no eye equal to knowldege/education.There's no rite or penance equal to Truth.
There's no misery equal to sensual pleasure.There's no happiness equal to Sacrifice.

Here the poet gives lot of importance to education,being truthful and donating or sacrificing.
Knowledge or education should guide people and so it's compared to eye.Being truthful always,
in this age is definitely a penance.Sensual pleasure is momentary and ultimately leads to misery.The happiness that one gains in giving (without expecting anything in return) is of the highest kind.

Kshanashaha kanshashchaiva Vidyaam Artham Cha Saadhayet |
Kshana Tyaage kuto Vidya Kana Tyaage Kuto Dhanam ||

Knowledge has to be gained every second.Wealth has to be accumulated pai by pai.
How can one gain knowledge by whiling away time.How can one accumulate wealth by wasting money.

Here the poet stresses the importance of time and money.He says that time is important for gaining knowledge.
Wealth has to be accumulated by spending money judiciously.
