They Are Considered Non-Intellectuals

However people may be learned persons,
they are considered non-intellectuals if
they do not understand and adjust with neighbours,
in JUST things!

There Is No Better God

There is no better part
In the body than the EYE;

There is no better relationship
For a woman than the HUSBAND;

There is no better wealth
For the parents than their CHILDREN;

There is no better God
For the children than the MOTHER!

Lovers language!

1.Rehearsal for hundred times
how to convey the love,
Meet each other,
Silence - No words,
Eyes will speak,
Lovers language!

2. Rehearsal for hundred times,
Hesitation to convey the love,
Occasionally love fails,
Speak to win!

O' Violence In The Mind Of Spinsters!

A tiny insect bite,
On the slender foot
Of adolescent girl!

Her feet are soft like petal,
The pain is so severe,
She gets lot of tears!

Soft nature in her disappears,
Smashed the insect to smears,
O' Violence in the mind of spinsters!

While you are still active...

Life is not eternal,
While you are still active...,

Before

The long sigh of hiccup arises
frequently before a person die
- due to paralysis of tongue -
unable to speak and convey,

Raise to the occasion,
DO VIRTUOUS DEEDS to the humanity!

Parrot In The Cage

Parrot in the cage
laments, 'Alas, While I was free,
I was flying in the high sky,
my body didn't feel heavy,
I felt it like my wings, so easy;

But now, I am in a cage
living like a sage,
Even my wings, I feel
heavy and burden to me!
I can't fly.

Eating Banana fruits

Eating Banana fruits,
I like to eat it,
By cutting into bits;
But my father eats it
By bites;

Which is good and decent?
Biting we have to open the mouth wide,
Eating by cutting, you open your mouth little,
And chew it bit by bit,
It is so tasty.

Advice To The Kings And Administrators

The axle of the cart, loaded
with light-weighted peacock feathers
too, may break if the cart is overloaded.

ThirukkuRaL 475

This is the advice
given to the Kings and administrators
to know their strength,
their opponents' strength
and act accordingly.

Ants go round and round

Ghee in a vessel,
Ants go round and round
Around the vessel
Knowing pretty well
These cannot taste and eat
The ghee!

Similarly,

The innocent people
Make wasteful efforts
To get benefits
From rich persons
Who never help others
From their amassed wealth!

Kindness is the unmatching penance

'O' heart!
Do penance! Do penance!
If you do penance, you can achieve
Whatever you like, in this universe;

Nothing is equal and better than kindness,
Kindness is the unmatchable penance,
People who are kind to everybody
Live for ever gladly and happily'
