இன்பமும் துன்பமும் இணைந்தது வாழ்வே

ஏழைகள் துயரம் நீங்கவே சேவை செய்
வாழ்க்கையில் குறை கண்டு மனம் சலிக்காதே
ஆக்கலும் காத்தலும் அவன் செயலாமே.....

Beyond the translation
Song interpretation
This philosophical song offers timeless wisdom on living a peaceful and meaningful life. It counsels the mind to act with foresight rather than obsessing over past mistakes, emphasizing that joy and suffering are inevitable, alternating phases of existence just like night and day. The lyrics remind the listener that fundamental aspects of existence—such as birth, death, and the soul—are governed by the Divine. Therefore, rather than becoming despondent over life's flaws, one should cultivate inner peace through love, acceptance, and selfless service to the less fortunate.
