Metaphor (Uruvakgam)

Kadhal thaamarai naanadi / Ivalantha manmathan thoodhusya badnaam, peenewale ko bhi kar diya badnaam. <b>(That who is notorious, made the drinker notorious as well)</b>. Now, note the dual meaning here: a) Saaki who herself is notorious, made the drinker notorious as well, b) The bottle of alcohol which itself is notorious, made the drinker notorious as well. Both interpretations fit perfectly fine. <b>What a thought process of the poet! Truly remarkable!</b> Now let's come back to original topic. As I have mentioned above, the Saaki gives the wine to everyone at the tavern. <b>What does that imply?</b> It implies that as everyone at the tavern gets the wine from the Saaki, similarly everyone gets love from God. God doesn't differentiate between people, he gives love to everyone equally. And we as human beings should also do the same. We should love everyone equally, without any discrimination. Because <b>LOVE IS GOD, GOD IS LOVE</b>. <i>Isn't it?</i> Well, let me know your thoughts in the comment section below. Until then, stay tuned! <b>CHEEERRRSSS!! </b>🥂😄 </div> <div style=
