64. Press forward
Amidst struggles
When get depressed
We should not give up
With a defeated heart
Strive as much as possible
Try to progress as much as possible
Not accepting defeat
Try to press forward in life.
Mahiri, Rewa, (M.P.) 25-2-1996 (?)
When in the villages I stay, some people who face lots of problem in life come to talk with me. Then they will lament and say that it is better to become a sannyasi than to remain a ‘samsari’ (family person). Pointing that all have struggle in life, I often tell them not giving up in despair e should press forward not accepting defeat. After one such talk, I wrote this song.
64. நடைபோடு
நெருக்கடிகளின் மத்தியிலே
நெஞ்சம் தளர்ந்த வேளையிலே
விரக்தியுற்றே வாழ்வினையே
விட்டு விடவும் கூடாது
முயன்ற வரையில் போராடு
முடிந்த வரையில் முன்னேறு
தோல்விதன்னை ஏற்காமல்
தொடர்ந்தே நீயும் நடைபோடு
