Why keep count of human behaviour and distortion?
Does the sight of mountains, valleys set in indignation?
Are not liquor, poison and nectar siblings in ocean?
Thus aware, adopt to the natural - Mankutimma.

Why consider the crookedness in others' behaviour?
ReplyDeleteDo the twists and turns of mountain-valleys enrage you?
Liquor, poison and elixir - weren't these born of the same ocean-churning * ?
Knowing that, you adjust with 'nature' - MT
(* In Hindu puranas there is the mention of a big samudra manthan by Gods and Demons. That churning gave rise to many things including -
liquor, kaalakoota poison, amrita - ambrosia/nectar, sun, moon, airavata - elephant, ucchai shravas - horse, kalpavruksha, kaamadhenu, and so on... So, the source of liquor, poison and ambrosia was the
same act of churning.)
