"If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be truly fulfilled."

Lao Tzu

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

# 38. நீயாகவே இரு.

நீ நீயாகவே இரு.
இழக்கவேண்டியது அகந்தையே.
இருப்பது எப்போதும் இருக்கும்.
இப்பொழுதும் நீ அதுவாகவே இருக்கிறாய்.
நீ பார்ப்பது வெற்றிடமே.
வெற்றிடத்தைப் பார்க்க நீ இருக்கிறாய்.
எதற்காகக் காத்திருக்கிறாய்?
அகந்தையின் வலையில் நீ விழுந்து விட்டாய்.
ஆகவே வெறும் பேச்சை விடு.
நீயாகவே இரு.

Brotherhood

A friend is a great treasure and should be cherished as a brother. One should make good men his closest friends, his brothers.
BUDDHISM

All mankind is one family, one people. All men are
brothers and should live as such. The Lord loves
those who so live.
ISLAM

 

[talwan]

Brotherhood continues,

All men are brothers. If one has anything against-
one's brother, he should make his peace with him
before attending to other religious duties. As one
treats a brother, so does he treat God. To hate
one's brother is evil. Brotherly love should rule
the world.
CHRISTIANITY

Friendship and brotherhood are the cardinal virtues. One should gather about many friends and should love them as brothers. The wise man
will choose friends worthy of brotherly love.
CONFUCIANISM

B,,hood conti,,

The good man makes no distinction between
friend and foe, brother and stranger, but regards
them all with impartiality. A true friend will be
sympathetic to you at all times.
HINDUISM

Be fair and impartial to all. Treat all men as
brothers at all times. As one treats men, so should
he treat all animals. They are also our brothers.
JAINISM

 

[talwan]

B,, Con,,

Get together, my brethren and remove all misunderstandings through regard for each other.
SIKHISM

The spirit of brotherhood, kindness, is necessary
if one would win friends. The spirit of the market,
where men sell goods, should not be the spirit of
the good man.
TAOISM

One's friends should be holy people. A holy man will radiate holiness to all his friends.
ZOROASTRIANISM

This is not exactly a quote as such but i think many very very true quotes that rhyme and one of the few poems that i really like (and i can't stand poetry so this is saying something).

Solitude by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

LAUGH, and the world laughs with you;
Weep, and you weep alone.
For the sad old earth must borrow it's mirth,
But has trouble enough of it's own.
Sing, and the hills will answer;
Sigh, it is lost on the air.
The echoes bound to a joyful sound,
But shrink from voicing care.

Rejoice, and men will seek you;
Grieve, and they turn and go.
They want full measure of all your pleasure,
But they do not need your woe.
Be glad, and your friends are many;
Be sad, and you lose them all.
There are none to decline your nectared wine,
But alone you must drink life's gall.

Feast, and your halls are crowded;
Fast, and the world goes by.
Succeed and give, and it helps you live,
But no man can help you die.
There is room in the halls of pleasure
For a long and lordly train,
But one by one we must all file on
Through the narrow aisles of pain.

I knew the first four lines but I was not aware of the fact that they were a small part of a beautiful poem.

Thank you Amala! :happy:

I look forward to more such posts from you and also from everyone else. :welcome:

# 39. சும்மா இரு.
இருப்பது மட்டுமே உன் கடமை.
இதுவாகவோ அதுவாகவோ இருப்பது அன்று.
"சும்மா இரு" என்பதே உபாசனையின் சுருக்கம்.
சும்மா இருத்தல் என்பது எதனைக் குறிக்கின்றது?
நான் அதுவாக இருக்கிறேன் என்ற எண்ணத்தை
விடுதலைக் குறிக்கிறது.

Hindu Proverb

[Visalakshi Ramani]

# 40. அகந்தையும் தியானமும்.
அகந்தை இருக்கும் வரை தான் தியானம் தேவை.
தியானிக்கும் பொருள் இருக்கும் வரை அகந்தை உண்டு.
ஆத்மா ஒன்றே தான்.
எனவே இவ்வழி நேரிடையானது அன்று.
அகந்தையின் மூலத்தைத் தேடும் போது அது மறைகிறது.
எஞ்சி நிற்பது ஆன்மா மட்டுமே.
இந்த வழி நேரானது.

Kingship

Gandhiji is fortunate to have escaped today's world. Perhaps, he would have been more forthright than today's leaders.

# 41. பயம் தோன்றுவது ஏன்?
பயம் என்பது என்ன?
அது ஒரு எண்ணமே.
முதலில் எழுவது அகந்தை.
அது விஷயங்களை வெளியில் காண்கிறது.
வெளியே ஒன்று இருக்கிறது என்றல்,
அதைப் பார்ப்பவர் உள்ளே இருக்கிறார் என்று பொருள்.
அதன் மூலத்தை நாடிச் செல்லும் போது
சந்தேகமும், பயமும், மறைகின்றன.
பயம் மட்டும் இன்றி அகந்தையை மையமாகக் கொள்ளும் எல்லா எண்ணங்களும் மறையும்.

# 42. எஞ்சுவதே ஆத்மா.
உலகத்துக்குக் காரணம் அகந்தையே.
விசாரத்தால் அகந்தை அழியும்போது எல்லாம் அழிகின்றன. உண்மையாம் ஆன்மா மட்டுமே எஞ்சி நிற்கிறது.

Courage:

The wise man is not afraid. He knows his strength and does not fear. Likewise, he knows his weaknesses and does not attempt the impossible.
BUDDHISM

God is strong, the helper of the good. Therefore,
we should not fear, but face life with courage and
confidence that the source of all power in the
universe is on our side. God watches over even
the weakest of men.
CHRISTIANITY

The man of principle is courageous. He knows the
right and will fight for it at all costs. God is on
his side, and he takes courage from the knowledge
of this fact.
CONFUCIANISM
