Tamil philosophy on worry-Translation of some aspects of what was written on the subject by Saint KIRUPANANDA VAARIYAR. (WRITTEN by Dr.Mahesan Rasanathan)

Human beings have diffrent types of worries.There is nobody without worries.What are the different types of worry? - Worry about lack of food,clothing and shelter; Worry about the home; Worry about the family;Worry about the children; Worry about money; etc. etc. Like this there are millions aof worries about everything.

The person who has money worries; the person who does not have it worries! The person who is married worries;the person who is not maried worries! The person who has children worries; the person who does not have children worries! The person who has a house worries; the person who does not have a house worries! LIKE THIS EVERYBODY HAS A DIFFERENT TYPE OF WORRY.

The wealthy person drinks the bitter liquid called 'Worry' in a gold cup. Wheras, The poor person drinks the bitter liquid called worry in a tin cup. IT IS ONLY THE CUP THAT DIFFERS BUT THE BITTER LIQUID called 'worry' is the same. Everybody wants to get rid of worry but they do not know how to do so.Some people cultivate worry when they attempt to get rid of worry.Some people believe they can get rid of worry by earning lots of money. However worry does not cease by doing so.It is like trying to quench a fire by pouring oil. The worst form of worry is MENTAL WORRY.

The ONLY WAY TO GET RID OF WORRY IS TO WORSHIP GOD AND TO HAND OVER ALL YOUR WORRY TO HIM!

A maxim in the Tamil Bible(the holy 'KURAL')-Translation "Be joyful when adversity comes.Apart from such joyousness, there is no sure remedy against misery." This implies that adversity is natural in life. This is true when you consider that fact that 60% or even more of the people of the world do not have the basic necessities of life.

NB. The holy 'KURAL' is a celebrated Tamil book of virue written 2000 years ago. It contains 1330 two -lined maxims dealing with many aspects of life. ALBERT SCHWEITZER,German Philosopher- "With sure strokes,the KURAL draws the ideal of simple,ethical humanity. There hardly exists in the literature of the world a collection of maxims in which we find so much lofty wisdom."
