Thirukkural-On Virtue-Impermanence Of The World-Kural 339
Impermanence Of World
oi-Staff
Death is like sleep, and birth Is the awakening from it.
Death
and
Birth
are
like
sleep
and
awakening;
only
the
intervals
are
longer
and
the
circumstances
more
poignant.
It
is
said
that
this
Kural
is
one,
which
Mahatma
Gandhi
liked
very
much
and
used
to
quote
now
and
then.
Shakespeare
called
sleep
'the
ape
of
death'
and
also
described
death
coming
at
the
end
of
life
as
'our
little
life
is
rounded
off
in
a
sleep'.
(Cf.
Kural
337)
The idea is also contained in the following lines of Naladiar,
"Vilithimaikkum
maathiraiyandro
oruvan
Azithup
pirakkum
pirapu"
