Quotes of Shri Swami Chinmayananda

"Silently hear everyone.
Accept what is good.
Reject and forget what is not.
This is intelligent living."

Then work out your plan.
The former without the latter is a sheer waste.
The latter without the former is mere unproductive confusion."

Without knowledge, devotion is mere empty idol worship."

The idea that man is like unto an inverted tree seems to have been current in by gone ages.

கூடா நட்பு




உலக நிகழ்வுகளை அலசி அசை போடும்,
ஊக்கம் நிறைந்த எலியும், தவளையும்,
நீண்ட நாள் நண்பர்கள், ஒன்றாகவே இருப்பர்,
நீங்கி இருக்க முடியாத நெருங்கிய நட்பு!

“அணு ஆயுதங்களால், உலகுக்கு மிகுந்த
ஆபத்து”, என்று கேட்ட இவ்விரு நண்பர்கள்,
செய்வது அறியாமல் திகைத்து நின்று பின்,
சேர்ந்தே இருப்போம் என்று தீர்மானித்தனர்.

உறுதியான ஒரு கயிற்றை எடுத்து வந்து,
உறுதியாகக் தங்கள் ஒவ்வொரு காலை
சேர்த்து கட்டினர், மனம் மிக மகிழ்ந்தனர்;
சேர்ந்து இருவரும் ஒன்றாய் இருப்பதாலே.

நேரம் சென்றது, தவளையின் உடல்
நீரின்றி வறண்டு காய்ந்து போனது.
நீரை நோக்கி தவளை தாவியது.
நீரில் மூழ்கினால் இறந்துவிடும் எலி.

எலி ஒரு புறமும் தவளை மறுபுறமும்,
எக்கி இழுக்கவே இரண்டும் அரண்டன.
அணு யுத்தம் என இரண்டும் மிரண்டு,
ஆளுக்கு ஒரு பக்கம் இழுக்கும் போது;

வானில் வட்டமிட்டுப் பறந்த பருந்து,
வானளவாகிய மகிழ்ச்சி அடைந்தது.
மின்னல் போல கீழே இறங்கி, அந்த
பின்னிய கயிற்றை எடுத்துப் பறந்தது.

இருபுறம் தொங்கும் இரண்டு நண்பர்களும்
இனிய உணவாயினர் அந்த பருந்துக்கு.
“கூடா நட்பினால் கேடே வரும்”, என்று
காட்டிடவே உயிர் துறந்தனர் இவர்கள் .

நல்ல நண்பர்களே நன்மைகள் புரிவர்.
அல்லாத நண்பர்களால் கேடே விளையும்.
நல்ல நண்பர்களையே என்றும் நாடுங்கள்,
நலம் பல பெற்று வளமுடன் வாழுங்கள்.

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி.
கூடா நட்பு
