A LOVING DISPOSITION |
|
Affection is training for bhakti, and out of bhakti will come unsought, true enlighten ment, the goal of all religious endeavour. * Strewn with pleasure is the way to Heaven, for it can be attained by well-ordered family life. This is contrasted by implication to the toilsome path of celibacy and penance. Men of imperfect understanding think that a tender heart helps one, only in the path of good morality. Love inspires the warlike deeds of the brave soldier too. * I have amended the text as a result of comparing this Kural with Bhutattalwar's Andaadi, first stanza. Therein is used to denote Jnana. The interpretation given by KuraI commentators retaining the old text is far too flat to be correct. Cf. in the verse next below and in Kural 4-1. |
