All are Maya?


A song by Poet Bharati with English translation

(1)Nirpathuve nadapathuve parapathuve,
neengalellam soppanam thaano,
pala thotra mayakangalo,

நிற்பதுவே நடப்பதுவே பறப்பதுவே
நிற்பதுவே நடப்பதுவே பறப்பதுவே
நிற்பதுவே நடப்பதுவே பறப்பதுவே நீங்களெல்லாம் சொற்பனந்தானோ? 

what ever I perceive as standing (still), walking and flying around me,
are all of these just my dreams?
are they mere illusions that my thoughts make me beleive of this world?

(2)karpadhuve ketpadhuve karudhuvadhe,
neengalellam arpa maayaygalo,
ummul aalndha porul illaiyo,

கற்பதுவே கேட்பதுவே கருதுவதே நீங்களெல்லாம் 
அற்ப மாயைகளோ? உம்முள் ஆழ்ந்த பொருளில்லையோ?

what ever I learn, I hear , I imagine,
are all these petty illusions?
all these thing do not have a deeper meaning/significance?

(3)vaanakame ilaveyile maracharive,
neengalellam kaanalin neero,
verum kaatchi pilai thaano,

வானகமே இளவெயிலே மரச்செறிவே
வானகமே இளவெயிலே மரச்செறிவே நீங்களெல்லாம் 
கானலின் நீரோ? வெறும் காட்சிப் பிழைதானோ? 

The sky, the first rays of sunlight, the trees along slopes,
are all of these mere  a mirage?
are these are just a result of my erroneous view?

(4)ponathellam kanavinaipol,
puthainthelinthe ponathanaal,
naanum oru kanavo,
intha gnalamum poi thaano,

போனதெல்லாம் கனவினைப்போல் புதைந்தழிந்தே போனதனால் 
நானும் ஓர் கனவோ? இந்த ஞாலமும் பொய்தானோ?

whatever went seems like a dream,
seems like all was buried in the past,
similarly am I also just a dream,
isn’t this universe a false entity?

(5)kaalam endre oru ninaivum,
kaatchi endre pala ninaivum,
kolamum poygalo,
angu gungalum poygalo,

காலமென்றே ஒரு நினைவும் காட்சியென்றே பல நினைவும் 
கோலமும் பொய்களோ? அங்குக் குணங்களும் பொய்களோ? 
காலமென்றே ஒரு நினைவும் காட்சியென்றே பல நினைவும் 
கோலமும் பொய்களோ? அங்குக் குணங்களும் பொய்களோ? 

Time as one thought and
Visualization of multiple thoughts
all these forms are mere lies?
there, the perceived characters, are also lies?

(6)kaanpadhellam maraiyum endraal,
maraindhadhellam kaanbamandro,
naanum or kanavo,
intha gnalamum poy thaano.

காண்பவெல்லாம் மறையுமென்றால் மறைந்ததெல்லாம் காண்பமன்றோ? 
நானும் ஓர் கனவோ? இந்த ஞாலமும் பொய்தானோ?

if it is true that, what ever we see today will vanish eventually,
would we ever be able to see that which vanished?
am I just a dream,
isn’t this universe a false entity?

Dying Rich vs living rich

In the article “The Indian senior citizen: Dying rich but not living rich” by Mahesh Pai reproduced hereunder, he highlights: - how many Indian seniors spend their lives saving and investing for the next generation, often denying themselves comfort and joy. - Emotional attachment to property and traditional investments, rising healthcare costs, and outdated financial habits keep them away from living fully.  - urges seniors to prioritize their well-being, diversify investments, enjoy their resources, and embrace changing times — living meaningfully instead of merely accumulating wealth to leave behind. To me : Richness is not about the money we hold or hoard, but about living exuberantly with what we have. Financial independence does matters — to live our old age with dignity, without depending on our children, physically or financially. In India, cannot depend on the Government also, despite we pay tax for earning and spending. If we own far more than we ever need or u...

React or Respond

When past wounds whisper in your mind, Emotions rule, and your sight goes blind. With ego strong, you rush to fight, To prove you are right, Win-lose or worse, no end in sight. When the present clears your sight, A conscious step will guide you right. No ego sways, no need to fight, Just win-win paths that shine so bright...
