Quote of the week:
------------------
Ullam perunkoil oonudam baalayam
vallar piraanaarkku vaaygo puravasal
thellath thelivaarkku jeevan sivalingam
kallap pulanaindhum kaala manivilakkae.
- Thirumoolar (in 'Thirumantiram')
[Ullam - heart; peru(m) - big; koil - sanctum sanctorum
(garphagriha); oon - flesh; udambu - body; aalayam - temple; vaay -
mouth; gopuram - tower; vaasal - entrance; thella - clear; thelivaar -
one who knows; jeevan - life; kalla(n) - thief; pula(n) - organs; aindhu
- five; manivilakku - lamp]
[Body is a big temple and heart is where the Lord resides; for one
who has realised (Him), mouth is the entrance, life is an object to be
worshipped (Sivalinga) and all five organs are lamps in the temple.]
{Tried my best to translate it. Not sure, if I succeeded. }
Kural of the week:
------------------
Ookkam udaimai udaimai poruladaimai
nilladhu neengi vidum.
[Ookkam - enthusiasm; udaimai - possess; udaimai - wealth;
poruladaimai - monetary possession; nilladhu - not permanent; neengi -
go away]
[One who has enthusiasm has everything, as (worldly) wealth doesn't
stay long.]
Thought for the week:
--------------------
Always speak truth. Later, whatever you speak will become true.
[From 'Arthamulla Indhumadham'
by Kannadasan.]
Never talk much (ie, more than needed). If you try to bring all your
words into action, then one day - you will find that whatever you speak,
takes its shape.
