The world higher than the place of GODS
A person who is proud of ‘himself'
Does not own his body and physique for ever!
A person who thinks the wealth is ‘MINE',
The wealth will not come with him
While he breaths his last breath!
"A person who cuts the pride of ‘I' and ‘MINE'
Will enter the world higher than the place of GODS"

You Improve Your Knowledge
While you need water,
If you dig deeper and deeper,
The flow of springs will last longer;
SIMILARLY
While you expect wisdom and respect,
If you learn by constant efforts more,
You improve your knowledge for ever.

O'.. He Changes His Stance
A teenage girl feels
While she sleeps,
she feels and dreams her lover
sits adjacent to her shoulder;
While she startles and awakes,
the lover onsite disappears,
O'..he changes his stance
instantly into her heart!

You Too Look So Cute And Beautiful!
I see you since your birth,
You seem to be so beautiful to me;
As the days, months and years pass by
You grow very well in height and girth!
Even though you are black in color
You too look so cute and beautiful!
Still you look very attractive
in different angle while I see!
? Yes, My dear Labrador 'Sweetie'! !

A Day When The Food Eaten All Alone
A day
when the food eaten all alone
in the absence of the guests,
A night spent
without accompanying and enjoying
the beautifully dressed and well adorned wife,
The entire day passed
without offering what is needed
to the needy and poor;
The above three are considered
as the disease to the learned
and knowledgeable people.

The Time Will Turn In Your Favor!
Whatever you speak
May be just babbling;
Your babbling may become
A preaching noticed by everyone;
Whomever you see today
May cheat you everyday;
But, the people who cheated you
May expect one word from you;
The word of CONSOLATION
And a word of HELP from you;
The time will turn for ever
It will come in your favor!

The virtue is compared with milk
Colors of the cows vary,
The variety of the breeds vary,
But the color of the milk
does never vary,
It is always pure and white!
Similarly,
The quality for a human being
is the virtue he gains in his life time
through good deeds;
('The virtue is compared with milk')
The paths for attaining virtue
may be many genuine ways!

Words are of no use, but in vain
Lovers look at each other,
A pair of eyes look into another
pair of eyes - Love and desire
are passed through the pupil in the eyes;
Face glitters,
Speechless messages are
understood for ever;
They need not speak,
Words are of no use, but in vain.

Who Have Done A Great Sin?
The person who killed a living being, say animal or bird
The person who has supported and witnessed the killing
The person who bought the meat of the deceased animal and bird;
If you think twice, even
The person who cooked the meat of the same and
The person who ate the cooked meat;
All the five are considered to have done a great sin.

A Lover Is Perplexed At Seeing His Fiancee!
A lover is perplexed
at seeing his fiancee!
Is she a divine girl
descending from heaven?
Is she a beautiful peacock
designed by creation?
Is she a maid
adorned with ornamental
golden ear jewelary?
My heart cannot decide!
it doubts!
Ref: ThirukkuRaL 1081
