Load the ship and set out. No one knows for certain whether the vessel will sink or reach the harbor. Cautious people say, "I'll do nothing until I can be sure". Merchants know better. If you do nothing, you lose. Don't be one of those merchants who wont risk the ocean.

 

[talwan]

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.

 

[talwan]

Conventional opinion is the ruin of our souls.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

# 76. தடை.
என்னால் மனத்தை ஒருமுகப் படுத்த முடியவில்லை
என்ற எண்ணமே ஒரு தடை தான்.
அந்த எண்ணம் ஏன் எழவேண்டும்?

 

[talwan]

Beyond our ideas of right-doing and wrong-doing,
there is a field. I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass,
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language, even the phrase 'each other'
doesn't make sense any more.
[h=5]Jelaluddin Rumi
in Coleman Barks The Essential Rumi (Haper San Franscisco, 1995,) p. 36[/h]

 

[talwan]

Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find
all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi

 

[talwan]

You've no idea how hard I've looked for a gift to bring You.
Nothing seemed right. What's the point of bringing gold
to the gold mine, or water to the Ocean. Everything I came
up with was like taking spices to the Orient. It's no good
giving my heart and my soul because you already have these.
So- I've brought you a mirror. Look at yourself and
remember me.
[h=5]Jalaluddin Rumi[/h]

# 77. ஆழ்ந்த அமைதி.

மனத்தில் அமைதியோடு உணர்வும் உண்டு.
நாம் எதிர் நோக்க வேண்டிய நிலை இதுவே.
மனத்தை வெளிக் கிளம்பச் செய்யும்
வாசனைகளால் அலைக் கழிக்கப்படாமல் இருக்க
அதனை உள் நோக்கித் திருப்ப வேண்டும்.
மனம் உள்ளே மூழ்குதல் வேண்டும்.
ஆனால் உணர்வினைத் தடை செய்யாமல்
ஆழ்ந்த அமைதி நிலவுமானால் ,
எதற்காக மனம் மூழ்க வேண்டும்?

 

[talwan]

I died as a mineral and became a plant;
I died as a plant and rose to animal;
I died as animal and I was a man.
Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
Yet once more I shall die as man to soar
With angels blest. But even from an angel
I must pass on: all except God must perish.
When I have sacrificed my angel soul,
I shall become what no mind ever conceived.
JALALUDDIN RUMI

 

[talwan]

Those who don't feel this Love
pulling them like a river,
those who don't drink dawn
like a cup of spring water
or take in sunset like supper,
those who don't want to change,
let them sleep.
This Love is beyond the study of theology,
that old trickery and hypocrisy.
I you want to improve your mind that way,

sleep on.
I've given up on my brain.
I've torn the cloth to shreds
and thrown it away.

If you're not completely naked,
wrap your beautiful robe of words
around you,

and sleep.
[h=5]Rumi, Ode 314 from Like This, Coleman Barks[/h]

# 78. எஞ்சுவது உண்மை.

நீங்கள் எதை வேண்டுமானாலும் அனுபவிக்கலாம்
ஆனால் அதனோடு திருப்தி அடையக் கூடாது.
துன்பமோ, இன்பமோ அனுபவிப்பது யார் என்று
உங்களையே கேட்டுக் கொள்ளுங்கள்.
இன்பம், துன்பம் இரண்டையும் கடக்கும் வரை
சாதனையைத் தொடருங்கள்.
இறுதியில் உண்மை மட்டுமே எஞ்சி நிற்கும்.

 

[talwan]

You suppose you are the trouble
But you are the cure
You suppose that you are the lock on the door
But you are the key that opens it
It's too bad that you want to be someone else
You don't see your own face, your own beauty
Yet, no face is more beautiful than yours.

 

[talwan]

Travelers, it is late.
Life's sun is going to set.
During these brief days that you have strength,
be quick and spare no effort of your wings.

 

[talwan]

You wander from room to room
Hunting for the diamond necklace
That is already around your neck!

 

[nannilam_balasubramanian]

It is said that "Dignity consists not in honours, but in the consciousness that we deserve them".

# 79. பயிற்சி.

தன்னை உணரும் வரை முயற்சி தேவை.
ஆன்ம சாக்ஷாத்காரம் முயற்சி இன்றியே நிகழவேண்டும்.
இல்லையெனில் மகிழ்ச்சி முழுமை ஆகாது.
இயல்பான அந்நிலையை அடையும் வரை
ஏதாவது ஒரு வடிவத்தில் முயற்சி தேவை.

[h=1]Buddhist quotes on Love, attachment, Sex and Relationships[/h]
This is how we love, Buddha-style:
impartial to all, free from excessive attachment or false hope and expectation;
accepting, tolerant, and forgiving.
Buddhist nonattachment doesn't imply complacence or indifference, or not having committed relationships or being passionately engaged with society, but rather has to do with our effort to defy change and resist the fact of impermanence and our mortality. By holding on to that which in any case is forever slipping through our fingers, we just get rope burn.

 

[talwan]

Don't give way to heedlessness
or to intimacy
with sensual delight--
for a heedful person,
absorbed in jhana,
attains an abundance of ease.The Buddha, Dhammapada

 

[talwan]

The flaws of cyclic existence: Relatives at home, enemies, friends and possessions in the world are the causes of worry for the body and mind. Only virtuous actions can benefit others. Therefore, I will not be attached to these ties and I will cast them away as I would a snake in my lap.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

# 80. அருளும், உழைப்பும்.

தன்னை உணரத் தெய்வீக அருள் கட்டாயம் தேவை.
ஆனால் உண்மையான பக்தனுக்கு அல்லது யோகிக்கு
மட்டுமே அருள் கிட்டும்.
விடுதலைப் பாதையில் இடைவிடாது
கடுமையாக உழைப்பவருக்கே அது தரப்படுகிறது.

 

[talwan]

Charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
Bible quote, 1 Peter iv. 8.

 

[talwan]

For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
Bible quote, 1 Timothy 6:10

 

[talwan]

Bible quote; Old Testament, Job 34:3 NIV
The ear tests words as the tongue tastes food.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

# 81. முயற்சி அவசியம்.

முயற்சி, முயற்சி இன்மை ஆகியவற்றுக்கு
அப்பால் ஒரு நிலை உள்ளது.
அது உணரப் படும் வரை
முயற்சி அவசியமாகிறது.

 

[talwan]

Bhagavad Gita 8:5

And he who at the end of his time leaves his body thinking of me, he in truth comes to my being: he in truth comes unto me.
