Love in diversity

Illicit love ends in the wee hours! 
Pet love ends in a bit of whining powers! 

Effective love sweetened in life! 
Deserted love ripened in death strife! 

United love lived and fulfilled! 
Unaccomplished love ends with heaviness filled! 

Epic love becomes a portrait! 
Portrait love has become an epic sight! 

Untold love ended in frail and pathos! 
Wicked love has become cheap in earth, alas! 

Niggling love has buried in the mud! 
Sepulcher love has demolished out of sight, O' sad! 

Ref: A Tamil poem 'காதல்' by Poet.பிரியத்தமிழ் உதயா from UK 

காதல்

கள்ள காதல்
காலையில் முடிந்தது
செல்லக் காதல்
சிணுங்கலில் முடிந்தது 

வல்ல காதல்
வாழ்வில் இனித்தது
வாழாத காதல்
சாவில் கனிந்தது

சேர்ந்த காதல்
வாழ்ந்து நிறைந்தது
சேராத காதல்
பாரம் நிறைந்தது

காவியக்காதல்
ஓவியம் ஆனது
ஓவியக்காதல்
காவியம் ஆனது

சொல்லாத காதல்
சோகத்தில் நலிந்தது 
பொல்லாத காதல்
புவனத்தில் மலிந்தது

சில்லறைக் காதல்
சேற்றில் புதைந்தது
கல்லறைக் காதல்
காணாமல் சிதைந்தது - பிரியத்தமிழ்

Hinduism in plurality

The Hinduism has no boundaries,

No founder and no single scripture.

It consists of collective wisdom

Gathered from many centuries.

The Hinduism incorporates all forms

Of beliefs without mandating

Any particular belief

Nor eliminating other beliefs.

The Hinduism is an eclectic one

Representing a variety

Of gods, dogmas, metaphysics

And faiths handed down over years.

The Hinduism is not the Vedic

Alone and go beyond the Vedic.

The shaivam and the Vaisnavam

Stand out, though within the Vedic .

The Jainism and the Buddhism

Are only the off shoots of the Hinduism.

God Jagannath, a tribal god

Is as good as any Hindu gods.

The Hinduism cannot be narrowed down

By the brutal majority of a sect.

It thrives for its plurality.

Blasphemy is beyond its scope.

What is real charity?

A beggar came to me and begged.

I offered food that he declined.

I offered clothes that he declined.

I offered coins to be declined.

Puzzled, I asked him, “What else would

You prefer to receive from me?”

He asked for my lust and greed.

He asked for my fake and jealousy.

I then sent him empty handed.

Nor did I know that it was God

Who had come to me in disguise.

Is what we give a charity?

To forgive you and me

‘He that without sin among you,

Let him cast the first stone’ on her.

She was accused of adultery;

Those who brought her wanted justice.

‘Such women shall be stoned to death.’

Laws of Mosses profess like this.

The woman was surprised by Christ;

The crowd dispersed without a word.

‘Father, forgive them.’  Said Jesus,

‘For they know not what they do.’,

At every fall of hammer

On the nail of Crucifixion.

Attack sin, not sinners, said He.

Forgive sin; sin no more, said He

Every saint has a past;

Every sinner has a future.

Christ wants to forgive you and me;

He wants you and me to forgive.

Mind can convert it.

Solitude is being alone;

It is invoked and painless.

Loneliness is being alone

It is imposed and painful.

It is like fasting and starving.

Mind has power to convert it.

To live a life

As a doer, bring out the best

Of yourself.

As a coach, bring out the best

Of the trainee.

As a lover, bring out the zest

Of the beloved.

In the end, you will be proud

That you’ve lived.

Fear is the cause

Revenge tastes sweeter than conquest.

Relief feels better than acquisition.

Escape looks luckier than awards.

Fear, not love, is the cause of life.
