Being Grateful

By Staff

Thinaithunai nanri seyinum panaiththunaiyaak
Kolvar payantheri vaar.
Even if the magnitude of the help given may be infinitesimal.The worthy recipient will consider it as big as a palm tree.
Those who know the right value-analysis would assess even a little help rendered in the right context as being of mighty dimensions. The value actually depends not only on the attitude of the giver and the circumstances such as timeliness and the need of the receiver, but also on the character and worthiness of the recipient. This is amplified in the next Kural.
The same thought and words are echoed in Naladiar 344 thus:
Thinaiyanaithae aayinum seidha nandrundaal
panaiyanithaa ulluvar saanroar
