Thirupaavai Paasuram #16
In Paasuram #16 Andal teaches us about the power of words and how we should use them judiciously ! It’s also about accepting cognitive diversity.
This blog is our space to write about our thoughts, views and notes about our travels. Osho owned 90 Rolls Royces while being a Sanyasi …. The so-felt contradiction is very fascinating and hence the name !
In Paasuram #16 Andal teaches us about the power of words and how we should use them judiciously ! It’s also about accepting cognitive diversity.
This Paasuram according to me is about Cognitive Diversity. While Andal is speaking about arguing with a friend its about accepting different thoughts !
In Paasuram #13 Andal speaks about how over sleeping robs you of valuable time. It’s so true … we waste so much time when we are young and then have little time as we age to do things we always wanted to.
Paasuram #12 is all about persistence and grit in the face of constraints as we try and reach our goals in life… Its also about entitlement and how that doesn’t help.
This Paasuram seems to be proving the proverb, “show me your friends and I will tell you who you are”. Surround yourself with friends and co-workers who help you succeed.
In Paasuram #10 we see a persistent Andal trying to get another friend who sleeps like Kumbhakarna to join in the Margazhi celebration ! With friends only “chatting” over WhatsApp this is a refreshing paasuram. 🙂
Thirupaavai Paasuram #9 has been written for the well-to-do modern man who only wants to get richer ! It’s a call to reflect on what you are doing and why !!
Thirupaavai Paasuram #8 is all about teamwork and not leaving anyone behind as a leader. It’s also about enthusiasm. The “can do” attitude.
Paasuram #7 emphasizes awakening through meditation, likening daily activities like churning butter to the Samudra Manthan. Meditation brings tranquility amidst life’s chaos.
Paasuram #6 is a call to awake and become aware by Andal. Staying alert and aware is crucial for success in all walks of life !!
