62. "Conquering Hunger is a Great Achievement!" #KURAL 225

#KROM 62. "Conquering Hunger is a Great Achievement!"

Powerful are those who conquer their hunger, by meditation; even greater are those who eradicate hunger of others, by feeding them!

ஆற்றுவார் ஆற்றல் பசியாற்றல் அப்பசியை
மாற்றுவார் ஆற்றலின் பின். 225

aaRRuvaar aaRRal pasiyaaRRal appasiyai
maaRRuvaar aaRRalin pin.

In this Kural, Sri Valluvar mentions about an uncommon technique of transmuting life-force (praaNic energy) to conquer hunger. There are documented evidence of yogis{1} and even Christian saints {2} who lived by Universal Life-Energy (or God's Light) in place of food{3}. Although Sri Valluvar notes this as a great achievement, knowing the rarity of this feat, he pragmatically praises the act of feeding the poor as still greater achievement. Eradicating hunger is the best use the rich people can do by deploying their accumulated wealth, which is nothing but a form of potential energy.
