Guest guest Posted July 14, 2001 Report Share Posted July 14, 2001 Namaste, Below are excerpts from "Weaver's Wisdom" by Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (Gurudeva)on the widoms of the South Indian Sage Tiruvalluvar: Possessing Love ================ Chapter 8 Kural 71 Can any lock keep love confined within, when the loving heart's tiny tears escape and confess it? Kural 72 The unloving belong only to themselves, but the loving belong to others to their very bones. Kural 73 They say it is to know union with love that the soul takes union with the body. Kural 74 Love makes one affectionate towards all, and affection affords the priceless treasure of friendship. Kural 75 They say love's greatness is this: it yields to good families worldly happiness here and heavenly bliss hereafter. Kural 76 The uninformed say love abides with virtuous souls, unaware that love is also friend to those immersed in vice. Kural 77 As the blazing sun dries up a boneless worm, so does virtue scorch a loveless being. Kural 78 Life without love in the heart is like a sapless tree in a barren desert. Kural 79 What good is a body perfect in outer ways, if inwardly it is impaired by lack of love? Kural 80 With love enshrined in the heart, one truly lives. Without it, the body is but bones encased in skin. Om, SY Zenith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
