Without surfeit of love, marriage will not prosper.But if love turns to attachment, bond becomes a bondage.Between these opposites, how shall I bring accord?It is a game of temptation. The crow and cuckoo look much the same The yogi also appears to pamper himself much.But although amidst people, in joys and sorrows,He is tranquil within. On the outside very traditional, but in the heart, indifferent to it.This is the supreme way for union. Essence of the universe (see Hinduism)Īpparently interested in worldly affairs, but internally detached from it all.Externally immersed in work, but within, disinterest. In garden of flowers, in gathering of friends,In music, in knowledge and scholarship,In family, and in the deep silence of solitude:Feel the Brahman. Unperturbed, they simply carry the corpse to its grave.Develop such dispassion, you too. Would the bearers of a dead man bother about his story?His wife may weep, his moneylender may bawl: Let there be a soft smile on your face,Let your speech be truthful and pleasant,Let there be restraint in emotions, in indulgence Let there not be excesses anywhere. So what if the night sky has a million stars?The weary traveller looks for the lights of a dwelling.Let alone any divine being, this poor soulSeeks a bosom friend. Then,An emotional storm arises from deep within God alone is the resort then! -MankuthimmaĪ flower on a plant makes the naturalist happy,A flower in his wife's braid makes a young man happy,A flower that bedecks his God makes a devotee happy,A penny makes the florist happy. ButYou will look at others and envy them! -MankuthimmaĮveryone is a saint, everyone wants to advise:Until they come to face a crisis in life. MankuthimmaĪs if hunger itself is not vicious enough,Fate has planted jealousy in Man.A wolf that has feasted will fall asleep. Relatives who do not understand your personality,Family and friends who look upon you with derision Are foolish people who would call it prettyIf you pierced your nose with a splinter of gold! -Mankuthimmaīear some stress, bear some sorrows,Biding for time, quash some of your foes.In this drama called life, always act mindfully Ī dog that is lying on garbage may happenTo think of its past lives and repent for it.But when it catches a new smell, it runs after it!Likewise is this mind. MankuthimmaĪ sack of arrears is loaded on its back, tiedTo its neck by Providence for its past debts.And now, as Providence lures it with a blade of grass,The donkey that is you dances! -Mankuthimma New leaves and old roots are what makes a tree magnificent.New knowledge and old principles meld to become dharma.If wisdom of the sages can blend with the new sciences,It would be for the benefit the humanity. In silence, in gossip, in humour, in music,So also in love, in bravery and victory In all these and more does Man seek peace and joy.But happiness is within the soul! -Mankuthimma To simper and fawn.To wilt and whine to be furious to be miserable:What is this living but a child's antic! -Mankuthimma To beg and feed oneself.To brag and act in conceit. Note the metaphor of plant of debt ("rnalathe") as a creeper that is tied to you and grows with you.Ī wedding feast today, a funeral lunch tomorrow.A lavish treat today, as alms to your begging bowl tomorrow.A fast today, a feast tomorrow.Thus does Fate spread your food across many givers.

They are here because you owe them something. Your contacts are a consequence of your past actions. The samsara that makes you a sheep and protects youCan be the devil that takes you as sacrifice! -Mankuthimma They are the new leaves in your plant of debt. Your enemy, friend, wife, child, your kith and your kin - these are allAvatars of your karma.

That is what makes living pleasurable.Even parrot can have book-knowledge! Know that your experience aloneIs your guiding light. Churn it with your faculty of discretionTo beget the cream of wisdom. There is in Man craving for food, but more so for wealth.There is in Man craving for wealth, but more so for carnal pleasure.What surpasses even that, however, is craving for reputation:That devours his soul! -Mankuthimma Daily_kagga's LiveJournal - allposts file:///D:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Desktop/daily_.
