But she says that she has lost her shyness also. Jivan: It is because she can't forget Her husband even for a minute, And her shyness she has lost In approaching him day and night.

Jivan: After all he's her husband, Who takes care of her life till her end, And she thinks about him always, Because she loves him always. To love him, her mind tells her, As he's taking care of her, Otherwise, who's the loser? This point, her mind asks her. So, she has reconciled to the facts, And started doing her loving acts, To woo with him always, in turn, Be blessed with his love and affection. *** 130/09. துன்பத்திற்கு யாரோ துணையாவார் தாமுடைய நெஞ்சம் துணையல் வழி. 130/09.

So, mind should be kept clean, To give its proper opinion, In all matters for its attention, Without any confusion. For a healthy mind, One must have a healthy body, And for a healthy body, One must have a healthy mind. (Both are reciprocal by nature) *** 130/10. தஞ்சம் தமரல்லர் ஏதிலார் தாமுடைய நெஞ்சம் தமரல் வழி. 130/10. Thanjam thamarallar eadhilaar thaamudaiya Nenjam thamaral vazhi. 130/10.

Jivan"Finally she surrenders to her mind As no other alternative she can find, In her own relative circles, For getting their proper advice. The mind is always stable. It is the man or woman, who makes a hell, Or alternatively, makes a heaven, According to his or her intention. Better to control one's mind, And by this way, one can find In one's life, everlasting happiness, Which will lead to a grand success. ***
