ஊழின் பெருவலி யாவுள மற்றென்று
சூழினும் தான் முந்துறும். (51)
And we must calmly receive and put up with it. Any attempt to divert or prevent it will be a sad failure.
The law of causation called ஊழ்வினை through any act of ours or any of our fellowmen connected directly or indirectly with us- Suppose a boy throws a stone at a dog, then it is the stone that hits it and causes pain; but the dog does not bark at the stone but frowns only at the boy. Similarly the pleasure or pain, profit or loss, come to us through some intermediaries, and we also should recognise that it is ஊழ் that works behind and we are the real masters and not the intermediaries who simply act like the stone that hit the person of the dog.
