A Select sample on the theme of Love, revolving around Eye-Part Four

Oh Dream ! in what way I shall repay my debt .

You brought the message from my lover.

Oh my beautiful black eye!

Will you not just go to sleep?

I beg you with all fervor

If only you can go to sleep ,

I could see my lover.

My dear friend!

Now let me the truth,

Why and how I am still alive.

My lover has not bothered to come before me

And fulfill my desire

And yet I am fortunate enough

To see him at least in my dream

And that alone sustains my life

Yes! Dream brings the bliss and happiness,

While that is denied by beloved, during the waking hours.

The steamy love affair of this couple spreads like a fire very slowly . A few village folks frightened the girl and make her nervous by saying and suggesting , the boy had deserted her and gone once and for all .Her friend comes and tells this to her.But the lady is so determined not to believe this kind of scandal .

My Lover will not leave my Eye,

Even while the eyelids move an strain him.

He will not suffer,

For he is such a subtle and gentle fellow.

He has just entered into my ethereal body

And fused himself into my soul.

He always resides in my eye .

That is the reason why

He will not vanish from me.

“I can think about you and all your good attributes if only I can forget you”, he laments further and says

“But hardly I forget you

When she is closer to me

It is akin to the life force uniting

With the body, triggering life.

If she moves away from me,

It would amount to the life force

Abandoning/ leaving the body.

It is only I am with her

There is Life.

In case I separate from her,

There is only Death.

Like body and soul, eye and the eyeballs, life and life force,

He develops a psychic love.

The hero of our Valluvar, the author of the Kural is deeply in love: it is not just an ordinary love, nor is it about the lust towards the body – its structure or its sound, a simple pedestal animal pleasure or a coronal pleasure. It is really a divine and psychic love. “My friendship with this beautiful damsel is just like (or more akin to) he relationship between the body and the life source (soul)” the lover says.

He tells the eye lens (Eye ball), “Please go away . I want to replace you by placing my lover there.”

Once this is accomplished, he is in a different world and says, “My Dear, I am the Eye and You are the Eyeball. You are my real visual media .My Eye is always looking at you and through You, My eye always sees.”

Meditations on Valluvar’s Kural – part two

Tirukural is a classic Tamil treatise which has been quote by many and translated into many languages. It s rich flavor and beauty has added more pride and glory to Tamil country. Basically it’s a moral philosophy and a treasure house of ethical code for all classes of citizens. The first part is a gate way towards the nuances of marital life and this component also draws a road map towards spirituality.

The second one neatly explains how all the potentials of the mankind- the immense talent, knowledge , and courage of hard working population could be better exploited, for making the country strong and powerful. It proclaims that the essence of life is not merely to accumulate money/ amass wealth but to register one’s own name and fame as the true legacy of his / her existence here.

Those who have mastered this and really adhered to all its stringent conditions would know how to live peacefully and gracefully , hopefully and blissfully to the enrichment of fellow human beings .

The third component is indeed a literary treasure, a treatise on love life. By thumping through those pages, we can turn our life for the better. Dealing with the natural chemistry and physics, evolving between the opposite sexes at at the right ripe young age in the most uninhibited environment of freedom, valluvar documents and neatly depicts all the subtle nicer and richer side of human life – the basic love life .

As it constitutes the foundation of life itself, acting as the primary life force, I felt that periodically I should do some translation from Tamil to English. now, a few samples of Kural dealing with love, those couplets which spin around the eye of the beloved, a real electronic media for the love game which in essence is the basic life game, forgotten for long by mankind, fully seduced by the materialist culture and money making and money making madness, all triggered by the beastly and unruly capitalist civilization.
