WISDOM FROM THIRUKKURAL 2 - PRAISE THE LORD


1. PRAISE THE LORD

6. Long will live the accomplishments of the men, who praise and follow the true, righteous path of the master of five senses, the most superior God. The five senses are vision, speech, auditory, smell, and touch. Problems rooted in men’s society can found their solutions by the proper delegation of control over the slave senses.

7. People, who praise the glory of incomparable God, will only identify and understand the ways to curb the problems which mind bears. The thoughts of God implants peace, hence, he identifies his original core nature and tackles life problems independently.

8. A human, who thinks continuously about the God, who is the ocean of wisdom and virtue, will only know the ways to swim over the life-ocean efficiently and effectively. The human existence usually relates with the material life and mixes with the “ocean of trouble.” But, in relation with God, he identifies a “ferry of wisdom” to cross the life-ocean.

9. The God possesses infinite capabilities and qualities. If a human being doesn’t understand such a simple knowledge, might be considered as useless as an animal with degraded sensual organs like body, eye, ear, mouth, and nose.

10. Human soul which understands the might of omnipotent, omniscience, omnipresent God will win the births and achieve God’s abode to experience infinite happiness. But, an ignorant soul will trouble itself with repeated rebirths on earth and experience discomforts of human life. Human birth, according to Hindu scriptures is a curse and our ultimate endeavour of human life is to reach God, which prevents rebirths.

Quotes: “The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes of mind.” - William James
