ஆறு மனமே,ஆறு Kannadasan
Speaking and expressing one thing and doing another thing, remains the cause for major problems in Life, especially in Relationships.Most of the time we do not mean what we say.We say things what we know are untrue and in most cases know that we would be found out.Still we say these things.This has developed only after we stopped being a Child.We try to be pleased others, say and do things we do not like.If we are true to our nature, relationships will be normal.People will Love you for what you are and can see through you if you try to be some one different.I hold the view that each has three personalities.1.What we project to others.This often, is what we think they might like.Imagine if every one were to behave so,which every one does, one never has a real relationship and never gets to now the other.2.The second is what we think we are.This, normally, is a composite picture of our selves to ourselves consisting of our real nature and what has been imbibed and taught to us, which we unconsciously adopt in the visualization ourselves to ourselves.3.The Real US.We do not really know.This pops out occasionally.This is the aim of Indian Philosophy.Who Am I?What is my Nature?What Am I doing here?By being as in 2 and occasionally as in 3 when it happens(it will ,if we follow 2), Relationships will improve.Caution.Being True to one self and Blunt is not being True.There is something called Courtesy or a way of communicating with others.Convey in such a way that it does not hurt others. -
Peace At Be, Kannadasan Beyond The Grave
We have many treatises in all Religions,Languages on virtue,On what is Good,Bad,and what makes one Happy and contented.
I am yet to find some thing which is simple,appealing to follow or at least understand.
,And the one that makes me interested at least, in attempting to follow.
These are theLyrics of one of The Great Lyricists of Tamil Movies,Mr.Kannadasan, a Legend, who could capture the essence of Life in ordinary words in Tamil which we use every day, from a delectable Tamil Film, Sivaji Starrer ‘Aanadavan Kattalai
As translations do not seem to be available I have tried to capture the spirit of the message and I can assure you that it is not in any way near to the original, such is my incompetence.
I am posting this deliberately in English so that people who do not know Tamil may have a chance to read and enjoy noble thoughts.
I would like readers of other Indian Languages to forward me Noble and simple thoughts say like Jana Padagalu in Kannada .
I am interested in posting that in my way.
What is the Ultimate aim of man?
Money,Power,Wealth,Popularity,Fame,Wine, Women?
It all boils down to one thing.
It is happiness.
And I have found that Contentment is the key to happiness.
I would go as far as to say that Contentment is Happiness.
In six simple day-to-day Tamil Kannadasan captures the essence.
This is it.
Words ,Deed Thy be One ,
Peace Forever be Thine,
Pain, Gain woven betwixt,
Six,The Ways Hath He set,
“aaru maname aaru, andha andavan kattalai aaru
aaru maname aaru, andha andavan kattalai aarus”eirndhu manidhan vazhum vagaikudeivathin kattalai aarudeivathin kattalai aaru”Put it simply,a liar needs good memory.You need not think twice before saying some thing ‘have I said this to this person before ?Am I contradicting myself??Then people evaluate you , not on the basis of what you are capable of or your potential, but what you have done.One may have good thoughts, I Believe that every one has.The problem is we don’t act on them.I recall an instance from The Mahabharata.The Mahabharata War was nearing and Indra, father of Arjuna, was worried.He knew if some one can match and even kill Arjuna , it was Karna who was arrayed against him.He consults Lord Krishna.In his inimitable style Lord Krishna advises Indra,You disguise yourself as a Brahmin and ask Karna his Body Armour( Kavacha and Kundala) that is a part of his body, granted by his Father Surya, The Sun God.He will give them to you immediately”Indra asks Krishna ‘What if he takes time or consults with others?Krishna adds ,‘ Karna will never do that.He has a taken a vow that he will give anything which he has, immediately; he is of the conviction that human mind is subject to chang e and that if he delays a minute even, he might not give to those who seek!Hindu Religious texts declare that one has to do Good things the moment he thinks of them and delay the bad ones.………………….. continues..Playback: T.M.Soundararajan
