5 Kural a day

Posted 13th May 2008 at 12:22 PM by Sriniketan
66. குழலினிது யாழினிது என்ப; தம் மக்கள்
மழலைச்சொல் கேளா தவர்.
kuzhalinidhu yaazhinidhu yenba; tham makkal
mazhalaichol kelaadhavar.

Those who didn't hear their children's baby talk, would claim ' flute is sweet, and lute is sweet.'..

67. தந்தை மகற்காற்றும் நன்றி அவையத்து
முந்தி இருப்ப செயல்.
thandai magarkaatrum nanri avaiyathu
mundhi iruppa seyal.

Duty of the father is to make his children excel in the midst of the learned.

68. தம்மின்தம் மக்கள் அறிவுடைமை மாநிலத்து
மன்னுயிர்க் கெல்லாம் இனிது.
thammintham makkal arivudaimai maanilathu
mannuyir kellam inidhu.

It is a joy to every parents when they hear about their childrens intelligence.

69. ஈன்ற பொழுதின் பெரிதுவக்கும் தன்மகனை
சான்றோன் எனக்கேட்ட தாய்.
eenra pozhudhin peridhuvakkum thanmaganai
saanroon yenakketta thaai.

The mother is more joyous when she hears that her son is a learned and a noble person than when he was born.

70. மகன்தந்தைக்கு ஆற்றும் உதவி இவன்தந்தை
என்நோற்றான் கொல்எனும் சொல்.
maganthandaikku aattrum udavi ivanthandai
yenottraan kolyenum sol.

Duty of the son lies in those words of the world --where they ask, what austerities did his parents do to get a son like him.

அன்புள்ள ஸ்ரீ,
இந்த அதிகாரத்தில் உள்ள அனைத்து குறள்களும் என்னை ஆழ்ந்த உணர்ச்சிக்கு
உள்ளாக்கின. குழந்தைகளையும், பெற்றோரையும் பற்றி படிக்கும்போது அது எப்போதும் தவிர்க்க முடியாதது என்றே நினைக்கிறேன். நன்றி.

True Oviya...parents and children form an integral part in this world, without them there is no world..isn't it..
while learning these things, we do go into ourselves and see and feel the authenticity in those lines...
