गुणी गुणं वेत्ति न वेत्ति निर्गुणो बली बलं वेत्ति न वेत्ति निर्बल: |
पिको वसन्तस्य गुणं न वायस: करी च सिंहस्य बलं न मूषक: ||
Only a person with good qualities knows (or appreciates) qualities of
another, not a person without any qualities. A strong person knows (or
judges) strength of another strong person, not a weak person. Cuckoo
understands (or feels) vasanta ritu (spring) not a crow (The cuckoo starts
singing in this period). Elephant knows strength of Lion not a mouse. {
kATRARAIK KATRARE KAAMURUVAR}
गुणवान् वा परजन: स्वजनो निर्गुणोपि वा | निर्गुण: स्वजन: श्रेयान् य: पर: पर
एव च ||
A friend, even without many good qualities, is better than an enemy with
good qualities. After all enemy is enemy. Though, we shall appreciate good
qualities in others, it must not be forgotten that enemy is enemy and
friend is friend. A person is our enemy or friend depending upon his and
our interests, it does not depend on his qualities.
पदाहतं सदुत्थाय मूर्धानमधिरोहति |
स्वस्थादेवाबमानेपि देहिनस्वद्वरं रज: ||
Even a dust particle which rises above when beaten by someone's foot is
better than the person who sits calmly in spite of being insulted badly. when
applied to the society or nation it will convey in no uncertain terms that
any wrong/insult done, should get a befitting reply. Bharat which has been
beaten by the terrorism for so many years could not follow this message.
सा भार्या या प्रियं बू्रते स पुत्रो यत्र निवॄति: |
तन्मित्रं यत्र विश्वास: स देशो यत्र जीव्यते ||
The one who speaks in a sweet language is a real wife to any man; from whom
one gets happiness and satisfaction is a real son/daughter; on whom we can
put our complete faith without any hesitation is a real friend; and the
land in which we can easily earn our livelihood is the real country. As
for the country it can be said that from the government's point-of-view it
is it's duty to see that every person has work and can easily earn his
livelihood, but from the citizen's point-of-view it should no doubt be like
"Ask not what the country has done for you, but ask what you have done for
the country"![ NADENBA NAADA VALATHANA}
जरा रूपं हरति, धैर्यमाशा, मॄत्यु:प्राणान् , धर्मचर्यामसूया |
क्रोध: श्रियं , शीलमनार्यसेवा , ह्रियं काम: , सर्वमेवाभिमान: ||
The old age snatches away the beauty, hope takes away the courage, death
defeats the life, hatred will destory ones noble attitude (dharmic
vyavahaar), anger will lead to poverty, being in the company of bad people
and helping them will take away ones 'sheela-bhava', uncontrolled desire
will take away the shyness and false pride will take away all the good
things!
विरला जानन्ति गुणान् विरला: कुर्वन्ति निर्धने स्नेहम् |
विरला: परकार्यरता: परदु:खेनापि दु:खिता विरला: ||
There are very few who can realise the qualities in others. Also are very
few who keep attachment towards the poor people. One can rarely find any
person who is fully engrossed in some ones work, and also very few are
there who "feel" sad by seeing some ones misery. Should we try to become
one of such rare and extinguishing species?
आरोग्यं विद्वज्ञल्त;ाा सज्जनमैत्री महाकुले जन्म |
स्वाधीनता च पुंसां महदैश्वर्यं विनाप्यर्थे: ||
Good Health, Intelligence, friendship with noble people, birth in a great
(noble) family and not being dependent on others (Say for economic or any
other needs) - these things (and not 'money') - are the real wealth of a
man.
कालो वा कारणं राज्ञाम्प;ो राजा वा कालकारणम् इति ते संशयो मा भूत् राजा
कालस्य कारणं
Whether circumstances causes King or King causes circumstances? There is no
doubt that King causes circumstances. Though it talks about king, it is
applicable to all of us. One can have doubt, if surrounding governs him, or
he can govern his surroundings. [KALAM KARUDIIRUPPAR]
आयुष: क्षण एकोपि सर्वरत्नैर्न लभ्यते |
नायते तद् वॄथा येन प्रामाद: सुमहानहो ||
Even if you surrender all the jewels that you possess, you will not get
back a "single" second of the time that has passed away (in your life).
When such is a case, those who are wasting the time - what a blunder they
are committing!! But 'wasting' of time will mean different to different
people! [TIME AND TIDE WAITS FOR NO MEN]
योजनानां सहस्त्रं तु शनैर्गच्छेत् पिपीलिका |
आगच्छन् वैनतेयोपि पदमेकं न गच्छति ||
Even a tiny creature such as ant can move ahead miles together if it keeps
on walking consistently. But if a Eagle doesn't decide to leave it's place
then it can't move even an inch ahead!! suBAshitkAr wants to stress that
only having the capability will not do. One should also have the "Will" to
achieve the goal. And thus with a strong will an ant (With inferior
capabilities) can keep on moving ahead, but the eagle (With much more
superior capabilities) [ ACTION IS A MUST AS I DO ALL TIMES THOUGH NOT
EXPECTED TO B G]
कन्या वरयते रुपं माता वित्तं पिता श्रुतम् बान्धवा: कुलमिच्छन्ति मिष्टान्ने
इतरेजना:
Different people have different interests out of same act. Take for
instance wedding. The bride expects a handsome husband (which is natural
for that age), her mother expects a wealthy son in law (so that he will
keep the daughter happy in life), her father is interested in a
knowledgeable person (which is a good quality for him) where as her
brothers are interested in a good family background (so that they have a
relation with a noble family). And what about others? they are interested
only in delicious food! (they are not bothered about what happens to the
husband and wife and their families afterwards).
अर्था भवन्ति गच्छन्ति लभ्यते च पुन: पुन: पुन: कदापि नायाति गतं तु नवयौवनम्
Wealth can be earned, it can also be lost. (even after loss) it can be
recovered again and again. But youth once gone, never returns.
आशा नाम मनुष्याणां काचिदाश्चर्यशॄङखला |
यया बद्धा: प्राधावन्ति मुज्ञग्त;ास्तिष्ठन्ति पङ्गुवत् ||
Desire ('Asha') is a strange (surprising) type of chain! The one who are
tied by this chain run here and there (For seeking the objects of desire)
and the one who are free from this chain stand calmly at one place without
moving, like an disabled person! [ MUDAVANUM KOMBUTH THAENUM STORY FOR THE
DESIRE KAMYA KARMA] K R IRS 211022
