***
37/07. அவாவினை ஆற்ற அறுப்பின் தவாவினை
தான்வேண்டும் ஆற்றான் வரும்.
37/07. Avaavinai aartraa arruppin dhavavinai
Thanvendum artraan varum
37/07. If one destroys all his desires
The desired path of virtue will welcome him.
***
Vijayan: With no desires for one
He'll be a complete virtuous man.
Devan: When he has no desires,
He's joining the men of virtues,
Such a great man is worshiped
By all people in the world.
They are saints and sages,
Of all the spiritual ages,
In all the ancient religions,
Of all the peaceful countries.
Their names are still there
And will remain forever
As long as the world exists
For their divine spirits.
***
37/08. அவா இல்லார்க்கு இல்லாகும் துன்பம்; அஃதுண்டேல்
தவாஅது மேன்மேல் வரும்.
37/08. Avaa illaarkku illaagum thunbam; akkthundel
Thavaaadhu menmel varum.
37/08. For those free from desires, they will not get difficulties,
If they have desires, then countless difficulties will come continuously.
***
Vijayan: The poet repeatedly saying
That one should destroy all his desires to be a virtuous man.
Devan: Even one desire will not take a man
To his desired place in the Heaven.
The poet, therefore, suggests
To destroy all kind of desires.
Before going to Heaven
He'll be glorified by everyone
For his austerity in penance
With no desires of his own.
The world call him a saint
Or some call him a sage
Who has really conquered
Every heart in the world.
***
37/09. இன்பம் இடையறாது ஈண்டும்; அவாஎன்னும்
துன்பத்துள் துன்பம் கெடின்.
37/09. Inbam idaiyarraadhu eenndum; avaaennum
Thunbaththull thunbam kedin.
37/09. Desire is the reason for all the difficulties and if it is destroyed
Happy one will be happy even in this birth.
***
Vijayan: One will be happy even in this birth
If he has no desires.
Devan: If he has no desires
He has no demands,
As he has to work for
To fulfill all his desires.
Multiples of desires
Yield more and more
Countless desires
So, his needs increase.
Happy he will be,
If he's worries-free.
No desires mean,
No worries then.
***
37/10. ஆரா இயற்கை அவாநீப்பின் அந்நிலையே
பேரா இயற்கை தரும்.
37/10. Araa iyarrkai avaaneeppin annilaiyae
Peraa iyarkkai tharum.
37/10. When one leaves desire feeling fully satisfied
Then itself it becomes his natural tendency.
***
Vijayan: Will one be happy in leaving desires?
Devan: One must be fully satisfied
With no desire to be fulfilled
To say ‘enough' in a good spirit,
Then for him, it's a good start.
It's difficult to find one
Without desires, not even one,
But an ascetic with no desires
May fulfill these conditions.
Those who wants rebirth,
To live on this earth,
Let them have desires
To the minimum levels.
