Thirukkural-On Virtue-On Fate-Kural 380
Soolinum thaanmun thurum.
Destiny is supreme, because its intended consummation will surely come about,
Even if planned efforts are made to over come it,
There are many tales which illustrate this idea. The story of the stray arrow sticking to a tree, falling out in the breeze and killing the wayfarer, whose time had come, is relevant here. Parallel is the case of the co-pilot who was pulled out of bed to fly the ill-fated Caravelle from Bombay to Madras on the night of 11/12th October 1976, on the other hand, the irate twenty passengers, who did not get seats in the Caravelle, and the Industrialist of Madras, whose international flight did not connect this Madras flight at Bombay, escaped disaster. We may say they were lucky but the fact is apparently that their time had not come. But the poet himself is not such a fatalist as all that, considering that he has stressed quite a lot in later chapters, the efficacy of human will and effort.
Omar Khayam said very much the same in the following lines adumbrating a more fatalistic philosophy:
'The
moving
finger
writes;
and,
having
writ
moves
on:
nor
all
your
piety
nor
wit
shall
lure
it
back
to
cancel
half
a
line,
nor
all
your
tears
wash
a
word
of
it".
(Fitzgerala
–
Translation
of
Omarkhyayam).
Shakespeare too supports the idea in the passage below:
'What
Fates
impose
that
men
must
needs
abide,
it
boots
not
to
resist
both
wind
and
tide".
With reference to tide, King Canute learnt his lesson at the cost of much prestige.
Tamil literature has the following relevant line of Pazhamozhi.
'Poriyil
vakaiya
karumam
adhanaal
arivinai
yooliyae
aadum'
(Pazhamozhi-203)
