As is well known Thirukkural text has a perpetual
meaning, relevance and content for anyone who wants to follow righteous methods
and live a simple and decent life, freed from inflated ago, arrogance and all
kinds of devilish spirit. Regardless of
one’s language or culture, geographical, and economic space into which he or
she has to live, this text has a context and relevance as an ideal medicine or
diet to take care of both body and mind.
True, many of the couplets and indeed all of them are
hard real truths very difficult to follow and any typical ordinary human,
cannot just like that follow, everything told there, for it demands a far more
stringent attitude and discipline , strength of character, will power and good
parental genes. Every couplet is
bristling with meaning, a relevance and shows a clear a path as to how to
improve and prosper in our life, in all walks of life without walking away from
dharma. In the following, a modest
attempt is being made to capture the flavor smells and sounds of the subject
called ‘love’, the idealized love as conceptualized by kural.
A well learned and highly disciplined man, full of good
character and attitude - a handsome man, steps into an arena of life. At this prime teenage, he understands that
his life does not merely centre around him, but instead revolves round another
soul; he is intelligent enough to understand that his peace and happiness are
his own; he is the author of both, he knows full well that, but it’s only partly true, he feels. The other half of his bliss, he rightly
feels rest with the other person and without her/he cannot go on in this life
journey. It is something natural and
normal for a fully grown up male getting attracted by the other half of himself
- a girl of his liking and choice.
