By doing good to him several times Thus putting him to shame and forgetting everything thereafter. *** Govind: What a noble idea to do good things against Harmful deeds?

A stranger chased by horsemen Took refuge under a chieftain Of a small town inside desert For his night supper and rest. Before day break the chieftain Woke him up, asking him to run, Before the soldiers catch him And thereafter hang him. The stranger then wept And fell down at his feet, Saying he was the one Who killed his son. Then swiftest horse he gave To the stranger just to save, And asked him to run away Before dawn breaks the day. He could have killed him But didn't do any harm As he gave shelter to him And so he couldn't kill him. *** (Supported by an English Poetry) 32/05. அறிவினான் ஆருவது உண்டோ? பிறிதின்நோய் தம்நோய்போல் போற்றக் கடை. 32/05.

One should consider that the other man's difficulties as his own And remove his trouble quickly; otherwise what is the use of his knowledge? *** Govind: Man is born to help each other. Otherwise there is no use of his birth. Gopal: Think other's difficulties, As your own difficulties, And try your best to help them Without wasting much time. The purpose of creation is, To have peaceful co-existence, And by helping each other, Then peace will prevail forever.

His knowledge he should use To serve other creations, Expecting nothing in return For the services done. *** 32/06. இன்னா எனத்தான் உணர்ந்தவை துன்னாமை வேண்டும் பிறங்கண் செயல். 32/06.
