COMPASSION

Diverse is the teachings of the religions of the world, but in all will be found that compassion is that which gives men spiritual deliverance. Hold on to it. Arul is love for all creatures equal to what is associated with blood relationship. Soul endangering sin Bees from him whom looks upon all beings with affection.

Even as happiness in this world depends on material possessions, compassion is that on, which your happiness in the world beyond wholly depends. The rhyme in arul and porul helps the emphasis in this and the next verse.Those who have lost their possessions may flourish once again. But there is no hope for those who have failed in the duty of compassion.
