Pranam
Q1 Ouvayar had written a verse:
கொடியதுகொடியது கேட்கின் நெடியவெல் வேலோய்! ( if you would ask me what is
the worst? oh tall man)கொடிது கொடிது வறுமை கொடிது ( Worst is
poverty)அதனினும் கொடிது இளமையில் வறுமை (Worse than that worst is
poverty in youth)அதனினும் கொடிது ஆற்றொணாக் கொடுநோய் ( worse than those
worst is chronic diseases) அதனினும் கொடிது அன்பிலாப் பெண்டிர் (
worse than all those worst is loveless women)அதனினும் கொடிது
( worse than all those is) இன்புற அவர்கையில் உண்பது
தானே ( happily eating their food) . 2 Q3 Today we
have pressure increasing tools in the market that can be kept right from
overhead tank to down below the ground floor 10 floors at the bottom 3 Q4
Mongoose can be rolled over by the snake and kill it also; Mongoose will
fear the snake too. But Garudan is the worst; it can shadow the snake from
space and pick it up so dexterously by nailed hands in a split second by
gliding down so fast. 4 Q5 Brave hearts and the suffers and who had
no other go can go to private; there is no job security at all; all the
rules framed can be broken; even a GM shall bend before the
illiterate owner. Govt job is secured if you are honest; and there are many
who made a lot and still living otherwise happily which is their Karma; but
without going down without fawning a govt servant can serve and retire
provided he is willing to go anywhere; the boss cannot add pie to your
salary not can he pluck away a pie from your salary; for those who wish to
serve that is a table top; for those who wants to while away that is a foam
beds. 5 Q6 Till date everybody thinks on the graha pravesam he had
done a marvel; and after a few years all the blemishes rears open; and
keep changing and ultimately reach the new home far away from originally
built. Fools build the paradise where the wise live. 8 Q7 All
consciousness are the same as the consciousness is an abstract thing and
the manifestations of the Brahmam. I wrote an article sometime back on this
subject in connection with the YM article. KR IRS 281121
