Love is God, and doing good is true penance in this world;
if one rises through wisdom,
that alone brings true joy, that alone brings true joy.
Love is God, and doing good is true penance in this world;
if one rises through wisdom,
that alone brings true joy.
In this cultured world, should we give room
for false pretenders to mingle with us?
Female: No one can ever fool God Almighty;
even if someone is an enemy, should we deny them space?
Love is God, and doing good is true penance in this world;
if one rises through wisdom,
that alone brings true joy.
When blind political factions arise,
should we give them room to stir up unrest?
Female: Collecting money in the name of their party,
should we ruin those who simply get by that way?
Love is God, and doing good is true penance in this world;
if one rises through wisdom,
that alone brings true joy.
When it comes to the wealth of the temple,
to those who come to dig its grave and steal,
should we ever give room to such sinners?
Female: If God is truly in the temple, let Him question it;
even if he is a traitor to his kind, should we destroy him?
Love is God, and doing good is true penance in this world;
if one rises through wisdom,
that alone brings true joy.
In the fresh blood of the working people,
should we give anyone room to sail their boat?
Female: Even if they sail, a poisonous storm
will take its toll—so should we taint His holy name?
For the newly rich who lack all self-awareness,
should we give room to their bragging?
Female: Since boasting has become so common in this country,
should we go out of our way to ruin it?
Love is God, and doing good is true penance in this world;
if one rises through wisdom,
that alone brings true joy.
When a black cobra comes to live in a termite hill,
should we see it with our own eyes and still allow it?
Female: In God's vast creation,
saying this too is His divine play,
without realizing it, should we tarnish His name?
Understand this, friend, understand the world!
Recognize every unjust deed around you!
In a land flowing with honey, hunger never leaves;
wandering around saying anger is your nature will not do, sir!
To truly understand the pure Tamil of the lion Sankaradas Swamigal,
no one here is ever too old, sir!
Love is God, and doing good is true penance in this world;
if one rises through wisdom,
that alone brings true joy.
