Thirukkural-On Virtue-Impermanence Of The World-Kural 336
The one, who was here yesterday, is no more today and That is a matter for great wonderment, in this world.
A man is one day and is not the next; that is the special significance of life on earth.
A man like young Emperor Alexander too, who conquered half the then known world, was just snuffed out of existence like the light of Othello's brief candle. One day he was the monarch of all the surveyed and the next day he was gone. That is why Thomas a - Kempis, who wrote that great devotional book 'Imitation of Christ' exclaimed 'So passes away the glory of the world'. Such is the special significance of life on earth, which Kambar referred to in his Classic thus:
"Piranthaar paeyarun thanmai piraraal arindharkaelidho?"
(Kamban : Nahar Neengu. 36)
