This genuine, spontaneous flow of Jove not only encourages virtue but is of utmost importance to avoid and remove evil from the minds of the wicked and cruel. The very existence of the living beings is due to this love; but for this love, the whole universe will be devoid of entire beings and it will be full of skin-clad bones. We thus understand that love is nothing but a binding force pulling all the members together to form a solid human entity called family. This love-bound family comes in contact with the other units and by mutual love, these units of the human society are linked and knit together. Thus the life of the human beings becomes the movement of love, affection and friendship.
In 17 chapters, Valluvar deals with the Positive and negative characteristics of the work¬ing of the family units along with the whole human society. Instead of entering into the details, let me confine myself to the presentation of the general scope for your thought at present.
