Perpetually Perplexed

ತಲೆ ಕೊಡವ ತಳೆದಿರಲು, ಕೈ ಕತ್ತಿ ಪಿಡಿದಿರಲು  ಬಳುಕು ಹಗ್ಗದ ಮೇಲೆ ತಾನಡಿಯನಿಡುತ  ಕೆಲ ಬಲಕೆ ಬೀಳದೆ ಮುನ್ನೆಡವ ಡೊಂಬನುಪಾಯ  ಕಲೆಯೇ ಜೀವನ ಯೋಗ ಮಂಕುತಿಮ್ಮ

The king will come some day and ask me. I am answerable to him. So I need to look after the kingdom with utmost care devoting all my energy. That was Bharatha's life. He had all the burdens of a king, but never the freedom of the king. He did not try to escape from his responsibilities as a king but always maintained that he is the representative of the king.    Our rulers in our democratic country are said to be our representatives. They need to read this kagga. But are we so blameless? If we are looking after someone Else's property , we misuse it and become completely careless. I know, most of you switch of the fan, light, TV, the moment you get up from a place at home. (At least that is true in India) But what do you do in offices, the Air conditioners, the computers...

He can rebuild the things which are destroyed completely. Look at nature! Won’t the sky clean the land repeatedly with rain when it gets dirty? When the crop is cut from the farm, won’t the farm grow it agin? Then why do you worry so much when your dreams are shattered. You rebuild them instead of mourning   in despair. (Am I anywhere near ok-ok translation?)

Do the work you get. Don't think that the work is below my dignity. No work is bad work. What a translator??? Hence I try to avoid translating these kaggas.

But how much does this knowledge really help us? I remember hearing a story about some lady cooking by reading recipe from the book. She did everything according to the instructions but still the rice or whatever she was cooking was a disaster. It turned out that the book mentioned keeping the vessel on the stove but did not mention that she said switch on the flame of stove. And she placed the vessel on cold stove for cooking.     Jokes apart, one needs the knowledge which comes from inside. ( How exactly does it come from inside? Does inside mean inside of the brain or of the mind or of the body ? I do not have answers to any of the questions)     Again there is a vachana from Someshwara says PÉ®ªÀA §®èªÀjAzÀ PÀAqÀÄ PÉ®ªÀA ±Á¸ÀÛçAUÀ¼À£ÉÆßÃzÀÄvÀA PÉ®ªÀA ªÀ...

To some extent, the love showered to a son may have some expectations. That he may look after them in their old age. But a parent brings up a daughter and sends her to her in laws decorated with all jewellery. What does he expect in return? Just that let his child live happily.    Similar to this act, we must also think that any good work done by us is the reward - that is what Dr D.V.G. says. But is it so easy?   But again Lord Krishna says "कर्मन्येवा अधिकारास्ते माँ फलेषु कदाचना" You do your karma and do not think about the fruits of your work. Well, my father used to say " if you help someone, the same person may not help you back. But some body else will s...

I as a bored JLSAHM tend to google and read many articles on peace, inspiration, motivation etc. But I have realized all these articles are zero when compared to kagga.   zÁjUÀÄjUÀ¼À UÉÆvÀÄÛ PÁUÉUÀÄAmÉãÀAiÀÄå DgÀ ªÀÄ£É ¸ÀArUÉAiÉÆ ZÀÄAr°AiÉÆ ºÀļÀªÉÇà DgÀ ¦AqÀªÉÇ K£ÉÆ JAvÉÆà D ¨Á¼ÀUÀw «ÄÃjzÀªÀ£ÉÃA ¤Ã£ÀÄ ªÀÄAPÀÄwªÀÄä ¨Á£ÉƽgÀĪÀzÉ ¥ÀQê ¥ÁªÀð zÁjAiÀÄ £ÀPÉê «ÄãÀÄ ¤ÃgÉƼÀÄ £ÀĸÀÄ¼É ¥ÀxÀ¤AiÀĪÀÄ«ºÀÄzÉ K£ÉÆ fêÀªÀ£É¼ÉªÀÅzÉãÉÆà £ÀÆPÀĪÀzÀzÀ£ÀÄ ¤Ã£ÉÆAzÀÄ UÁ½¥Àl ªÀÄAPÀÄwªÀÄä
