One more translation from kumarakurubarar in Neehi Neri
Vilakkam , an ancient tamil text:
For the husband who has excelled in education and mastered
the art of learning of whatever is to be learnt, there is no grater pleasure or
joy than getting a good and upright son form his chaste wife. Similarly for
those exalted souls –the individuals who have renounced this world and its materialistic
pleasures the supreme bliss and peace lay in knowing the fundamental truth and
the true knowledge of life. Everything else other than this will not give any joy.
They will be nothing but sorrow and intense pain.
To avoid any gender bias I would like to add that like the son, the daughter can also fit in and the saint poet would not have narrowly confined to son.More important than this is that what about those who are not fortunate enough to have a son or daughter? The answer is simple.If they live for the fellow human with the societal concern and care and also dedicate to work the bliss will naturally follow.
To see the Tamil version see the newspaper listed in the previous blog.
I will be rightly accused why on a single day three write up and so many colourful pictures to share.
Will it not lead to diminishing utility ?Friends do no have time to read at a single stretch yes it is their problem to read at leisure As I felt like working instead of lazing away on easy chair a good turnout today.Will supreme make me work and focus me on the acdemic/ literature side without abandoning my first love ECONOMICS.writing is both blissful and painful experience and I am free now
