35. "Dharma - A Safe and Sure Path for Here and Beyond!" #KURAL 8

#KROM 35. "Dharma - A Safe and Sure Path for Here and Beyond!"

Surrendering to the Lotus Feet of the God, in the form of Guru, who is the ocean of Dharma (Virtues, Righteousness, Natural Conduct) is the sure way to cross the ocean of samsaara. There is no other path than Dharma that is safe and sure for here and beyond.      

அற ஆழி அந்தணன் தாள் சேர்ந்தார்க்கு அல்லால்
பிற ஆழி நீந்தல் அரிது. 8

aRa aazhi andhaNan thaaL sErndhaarkku allaal
piRa aazhi neendhal aRidhu.

Sri Valluvar underscores the importance of Dharma in this Kural. The religion that was practised in India itself was known by the name "Sanaathan Dharma (Eternal Path)," before the name "Hinduism" was given to it. Dharma is said to be a balanced path which is also narrow and razor-edged. Many seek to escape quickly from the sufferings of the world without adhering the course of Dharma and they unfortunately end up in the hands of hypocrites who lead them in a wrong direction, as a blind leading another blind.
