Show kindness to the enemy.

Charanam
1.We saw fire in the mid of smoke,
In this earth, Oh good heart,
Saw in this good earth,
Our God with the form of love,
Lives in side enmity, Oh good heart,
Our God lives.

2.Do’nt you know that the good pearl,
Is made inside a shell, Oh good heart,
Does not the flowering Kurukathi *,
Grow in the trash hill -Oh good heart,

3.If deceit enters the contented mind,
Is that heart full , Oh good heart,
If little poison is added to the clear honey,
Will it be still honey, Oh good heart.

4.After thinking of life, if we think of low state,
Is it proper for life, Oh good heart,
If we think of low state for others, Sastras tell,
That we would get destroyed, Oh Good heart

5.He came similar to the kauravas,
Who came for war, Oh good heart,
But the one who stood before them,
With a whip was Lord Krishna, Oh good heart.

Even the tiger which comes to eat you, Oh good heart,
For our mother the primeval power took that form,
Worship and salute her, Oh good heart.
