74. "Who is a Balanced Person?" #KURAL 111

#KROM 74. "Who is a Balanced Person?" A person with equanimity responds to different kinds of people by adapting suitable styles while maintaining his inner consistency. தகுதி என ஒன்று நன்றே பகுதியால் பாற்பட்டு ஒழுகப் பெறின்.  111 thagudhi ena onRu nanRE pagudhiyaal paaRpaTTu ozhugap peRin. ஸமபா4வ் மெனெத்தெ  சொக்கட்கு3ண்ணு  ஒண்டேஸ்பு2ரொ  ஸுபா4வ்தா4னுக் பொள்க3த்த களையத்.   (thagudhi = equanimity; pagudhi => prakruti = nature, characteristics) At one end, applying the same mode of behavior to all, as one believes inside, leads to rigidity. This kind of people either will impose on others by force if they can wield or will be ignored as irrelevant. At the other end, adjusting to the people according to their temperament without one's inner integrity will lead to despicable opportunistic behavior! Sri Valluvar lays down carefully here the "balanced" definition of encouraging outer adaptation while expecting integrity. --- #108GURU 40. ॐ समभाव स्

73. "The Great Achievers!" #KURAL 26

#KROM 73. "The Great Achievers!" Great are those who perform deeds that are most difficult to accomplish. Rest toil in mundane activities, unable to achieve lofty purpose. செயற்கரிய செய்வார் பெரியர் சிறியர் செயற்கரிய செய்கலாதார்.  26 seyaRkariya seyvaar periyar siRiyar seyaRkariya seykalaadhaar. Out of all human achievements, the most difficult accomplishment is to realize oneself and the greatest help one can offer to another human being is to help him realize himself! All other achievements, however esteemed they may be in the objective standards, are still limited by time, space, or form. --- #108GURU 39. ॐ आत्मज्ञान प्रदायक श्री सत्गुरवे नमः ஓம் ஆத்மஞான ப்ரதா3யக ஸ்ரீ ஸத்கு3ரவே  நம: #KURAL 26 Recently Occurred in Mind --- #PHD (D.l.

72. "The Top Most Activity Universally!" #KURAL 322

#KROM 72. "The Top Most Activity Universally!" Sharing the food (and earnings) with others and protecting the lives of all forms are declared, by the scriptures of various lands, as the most noblest of all activities. பகுத்து உண்டு பல்உயிர் ஓம்புதல் நூலோர் தொகுத்தவற்றுள் எல்லாம் தலை.  322 pagutthu uNDu pal uyir Ombuthal nUlOr thogutthavaRRuL ellaam thalai. In this Kural, Sri Valluvar gives a comprehensive advice and also states it in a positive manner under the chapter of "Non-Killing." When a person feeds and nourishes a life-form, he will automatically abstain from doing any harm to that life-form let alone killing it! --- #108GURU 38. ॐ सकलजीव पोषक अन्नदात्रे नमः ஓம் ஸகலஜீவ போஷக அன்னதா3த்ரே நம: #KURAL 322 Recently Occurred in Mind --- #PHD (D.l.
