Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Pranam. Here are four kurals to illustrate what Thiruvalluvar thought of friendship.... The bonds that good men share, like good bound books, Reveal new enjoyments at each new encounter. The object of friendship is not merrymaking But a stern rebuking when friends go astray. It is not constant meeting and companionship But mutual sensibilities that confer the alliance of friendship. Friendship is not seen on a friendly face, But felt deep within a friendly heart. -Tirukkural, 79:783-86 With Love Shankaree Let my every word be a prayer to Thee, Every movement of my hands a ritual gesture to Thee, Every step I take a circumambulation of Thy image, Every morsel I eat a rite of sacrifice to Thee, Every time I lay down a prostration at Thy feet; Every act of personal pleasure and all else that I do, Let it all be a form of worshiping Thee." >From Verse 27 of Shri Aadi Shankara's Saundaryalahari CarsNEW - sell your car and browse thousands of new and used cars online search now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
