Message for the Day..

Life is a pilgrimage to God; the holy spot is there, afar. The road lies right before you; but unless you take the first step forward and follow that step with others, how can you reach it? Start with courage, faith, joy and steadiness. You are bound to succeed. Your mind and intellect are two bullocks tied to the cart of your ‘inner self’. The bullocks are not used to the path of Truth, Righteousness, Non-violence, Peace and Love, and so they drag the cart to the road that is very familiar to them, namely falsehood, injustice, worry and hatred. As its master, you must train them to take the better road, so that they may not bring disaster to themselves, the cart they are yoked to and to the passengers in the cart.

Message for the Day…

You know only the present, what is happening before your eyes; you do not know that the present is related to the past and is preparing the course of the future. Each birth wipes out the memory of the one already experienced. People do not realise that the end of this cycle of birth and death is in their own hands. The tree came from the seed and the seed from the tree and so on, since the beginning of time. You may not know which came first – tree or seed, but you should know that you can easily put an end to the cycle by frying the seed. A fried seed will not sprout again! You claim to have mastered your senses and all low desires, but they sprout at the very first opportunity, just like grass that grows after the first summer shower. Just as you seek the udder of the cow for the milk it gives, seek only the Lord and His Glory in Nature. As a matter of fact, Nature is useful only when it adds to the wonder and awe that it is able to provoke and sustain.

வாரம் ஒரு கவிதை…” வீர மங்கை “

 

வீர மங்கை
———–
முறம் கொண்டு விரட்டினாள் ஒரு புலியை  அன்று
வீர மங்கை ஒருத்தி …புலி புற முதுகு காட்டி ஓடியது
முறம் பார்த்து அல்ல !… முறம் பிடித்த
மங்கையின் முகம் பார்த்து ! மங்கையரின்
வீரம் தெரியும் அவர் முகத்தில் …செயலில் ! விண்வெளியில்
பயணித்த முதல் பெண்ணும்   அந்த விண்ணுக்கு
விண்கோள் ஏவும்  நம் பெண்மணிகள் வரை
ஒரு ஒரு மங்கையும் வீர மங்கையே !
இல்லறத்தை ஒரு நல்லறமாக உருவாக்கி
நல்ல ஒரு சந்ததியை இந்த உலகுக்கு
கொடுக்கும் ஒரு ஒரு இல்லாளும்
ஒரு வீர மங்கையே !  வீர தீர செயல்
தேவையில்லை ஒரு பெண்ணுக்கு   வீர மங்கை பட்டம் பெற !
தன் கண் முன்னே கருகும் பயிர் கண்டும்
தான் வாடாமல் தன் பிள்ளைக்கும் தன்
குடும்பத்துக்கும் அரை வயிற்று கஞ்சி
கொடுக்கும் ஒரு உழவனின் இல்லாள்
ஒரு வீர மங்கையே !
படிப்பு வாசனையே இல்லாமல் ஒரு
குடிகார கணவனுடன்  குடும்பம் நடத்தி
தான் பெற்ற குழந்தைகளை இந்த அவையத்து
முந்தி இருக்க செய்யும் இலக்கில்  நாளும் உழைக்கும்
ஒரு ஒரு தாயும்  வீர மங்கைதான் என்  பார்வையில் !

Message for the Day…

Remember, like underground water, the Divine is there in everyone. The Lord is the Indweller in all beings; He is All-pervading. He is the Soul (Atma) of every being. He is in you as much as in everyone else. He is not more in a rich person or bigger in a fat being; His spark illumines the cave of the heart of every one. The sun shines equally on all; His Grace is falling evenly on all. It is only you that erect obstacles that prevent the rays of His Grace from warming you. Do not blame the Lord for your ignorance or foolishness or perversity. Just as underground water wells up in a gushy spring when a bore is sunk down to that depth, by constant chanting of the Divine Name, touch the spring of Divinity, so that one day it gushes out plentifully, granting you coolness and unending joy.

Message for the Day…

Each and every one of you has a great deal of concentration. You know the art, for every task requires it and everyone benefits from good concentration. The carpenter, the weaver, the clerk, the boatman – all have it in a greater or lesser degree. Use that power of concentration for the task of directing the mind, towards its own goodness. Examine its working and train it to restrict itself to good company, good thoughts and good deeds. Practice meditation on any form of the Lord and repeat any name of the Lord with the awareness of its sweetness. That will teach your mind to be sharp and produce good music out of the joys as well as the griefs that are incidental to life. If the arena of life is entered just for getting sensory joy, you are in for all kinds of trouble. It is like sailing in a tiny boat on a storm-tossed sea without a rudder. So enter upon the path of spiritual discipline now itsel

Message for the Day…

Have you heard the story of the rabbit that borrowed from Mother Earth four paise? She thought that if she moved into a new place or country she would be free from the obligation. So one day, she ran as fast as her legs could carry her and went extremely far away from the place where she took the amount from Mother Earth. Pleased with her endeavor herself, she sat down in great relief and said to herself, “Now no one will ask me to repay!” To her utter dismay, right beneath where she sat, from the ground underneath, she heard a voice, “Mother Earth is right underneath your feet, right here. You cannot escape me, however far you run!” So too, you cannot run away from Me. All I demand is good conduct, good habits, good thoughts and good company, wherever you are. Use this precious opportunity to strive earnestly, more than ever before, to reach your goal.
