Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.

# 86. குறுக்கு வழி.
சிலர் வந்தவுடனேயே ஞானியாக நினைக்கின்றனர்.
அதற்கான முயற்சியை அவர்கள் ஒதுக்கி விடுகின்றனர்.
மோக்ஷதிற்கு குறுக்கு வழி ஏதாவது உண்டா?
அது என்ன கடையில் விலைக்கு வாங்கக் கூடிய பொருளா?

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose.
Jim Elliot, christian missionary, explaining his motivation to go to a headhunter tribe to share the Gospel. They killed him, but the tribe later heard the Gospel, received Christ, and was totally transformed.

People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway.
From The Paradoxical Commandments, by Dr. Kent M. Keith. Mother Teresa quoted this often. I wrote a commentary on this text.

Preach the Gospel, if necessary, use words!
Often attributed to St. Francis, but not traceable to him (which means he didn't say it). Still words to live by that definitely show Francis' spirit.

# 87. விடாமுயற்சி.
தேவையானது திடமான தீர்மானமே.
மூக்கின் நுனியிலோ, புருவ நடுவிலோ
எங்கு கவனம் செலுத்தினாலும் சரி.
அதில் பெருத்த வேறுபாடு இல்லை.
மந்திரத்தின் மூலத்தை கவனிப்பதே முக்கியம்.
அதில் கவனம் இருக்கட்டும்.
விடாமுயற்சியும் தேவை.
தியானம் என்பது செய்யச் செய்ய எளிமை ஆகும்.
இறுதியில் அதுவே ஸ்வபாவம் ஆகின்றது.
பயிற்சி கட்டாயம் தேவை. அதுவே அருள்.

Mother Terasa quotes:
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

# 88. தொய்வு கூடாது.
தொடர்ந்த முயற்சி வாசனைகளை நீக்கிவிடும்.
கடவுளின் வேலையை அவரிடமே விட்டு விடுங்கள்.
உங்கள் கையில் இருப்பதைச் செய்யுங்கள்.
காலம் முதிரும் போது, எப்பொழுதும் இயங்கும்
இறையருள் உங்களால் உணரப்படும்.
முயற்சியைக் கைவிடுதல், கடவுள் அருள் இல்லை
என்று நினைத்தல் ஆகியவையே நாம் செய்யும் தவறுகள்.
முயற்சியில் தொய்வு ஏற்படக்கூடாது.
ஏனெனில் இறையருள் பக்குவமான நேரத்தில்
வேலை செய்தே தீரும்.

We have plenty of reasons to worry
We have plenty of reasons to get anxiety
We do think plenty to know the true joy in life
Victory or Success is what we gain
Happiness is wanting what we accomplish or gain.

# 89. சத்சங்கம்.
சாதுகளின் சத்சங்கம் கிடைத்து விட்டால்,
அப்புறம் சமயச் சடங்குகள் எதற்கு?
குளிர்ந்த தென்றல் வீசும் போது
கை விசிறியால் என்ன பயன் ஏற்படும்?

A great man of this Janma Bhoomi once said that Don't ask me
what I think of this world, perhaps I might not give the answer
that he/she may expect from me. Every new beginning comes
from some other beginning's end.
Late Pandit Nehru once mentioned "Solving a Problem leads to a Problem".

Mami:
If the minor correction was meant toprovide an internet link to Thomas Gray, fine. I felt providing a link was not necessary since Gray is such a well-knownpoet, and acknowledging him (and not the website) as the source of the poem was ample credit - much like quoting a sloka and say that it is from the Gita, and not whose or which website’s version of the Gita.
If any one wants to know who is Thomas Gray, they could take the trouble of finding out, no spoon-feeding necessary.

The spacings were adjusted and a spelling mistake corrected.
Otherwise is the very same post you had posted.
You write very well but forget to use the space bar at times. That is what I corrected. Look for the green highlighted words below. Here after I won't correct anything. It is a PROMISE.
