Safeguarding The Body Which You Can’t Own For Ever! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan
Safeguarding The Body Which You Can’t Own For Ever!
O’ my good heart! The people who eat food in the day
may not eat in the night and die early!
When the life leaves as a person dies,
In spite of realizing from the learned people’s words
that what deeds he had done only follow him without failing,
What is going to happen by having extreme desire
to have more wealth for safeguarding the body
which you can’t own for ever? It is of no use!
This poem 'Safeguarding the body which you can’t own for ever! ' is a translation of a poem from Tamil literature 'ARaneRichsaaram'
புகாஉண்பார் அல்லுண்ணார் போகுந் துணைக்கண்
தவாவினை வந்தடையக் கண்டும் - அவாவினைப்
பற்றுச்செய் தென்னை பயமின்றால் நன்னெஞ்சே!
ஒற்றி உடம்போம் புதற்கு.131 - அறநெறிச்சாரம்
Sir, it is necessary to realize that man is mortal and death is certain as spelled in the poem. It is also reflected that wealth can not be the ultimate goal of a life/human. On the contrary it is a means for facilitating living. Marvelous thoughts. Enjoyed the poem. Thanks for sharing. Regards.
Dear Ratnakar, Thanks for your reading and offering excellent comment. V.K.Kanniappan
