68. "Dead While Living vs. True Living!" #KURAL 214

#KROM 68. "Dead While Living vs. True Living!"

One who help others by understanding their (common) need is truly living; the other indifferent one is considered dead while living!

ஒத்தது அறிவான் உயிர் வாழ்வான் மற்றையான்
செத்தாருள் வைக்கப் படும்.  214

otthadhu aRivaan uyir vaazhvaan maRRaiyaan
setthaaruL vaikkap paDum.

(otthadhu = similar or common)

In this Kural, Sri Valluvar reiterates the importance of proactively helping others which is essential for living. In life, unless one progresses upward, by default, he is on the downward mode only. One cannot remain neutral or indifferent, which will sooner or later become a negative state. Here, Sri Valluvar also gives a hint by mentioning "similar or common" aspect that the needs of all human beings have the same essence, i.e., increase happiness; decrease pain ("sukha pravrutti; dukha nivrutti").
