The Sea With Chill Water Will Never Turn Into Sludge! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

The Sea With Chill Water Will Never Turn Into Sludge!



Even if the pure gold is heated,
it never loses its lustre.

Even if the sandalwood is ground,
it never loses its pleasant smell.

Even it is burnt to smoke; the black
fragrant wood will not emit bad smell.

Even if you stir it violently, the sea
with chill water will never turn into sludge.

Likewise even when lots of hurts are caused by enemies,
The virtuous people never give up their honesty!

24. சுடினுஞ் செம்பொன் தன்னொளி கெடாது.
25. அரைக்கினுஞ் சந்தனந் தன்மண மறாது.
26. புகைக்கினும் காரகில் பொல்லாங்கு கமழாது.

That is very true. It is very difficult to change inherent character. Nicely done.
