A new born baby girl with full breast or menstruation

Dear...,

The easiest way to get your best friend lost
Or to make him your worst enemy
Is to give him loan
Or to deal with him financially.

There is a say, I heard it in my childhood,
It is said to be said by Imaam Ghazaali, that;
To test one’s credibility and reliability,
Don’t look at his punctuality
In doing rituals and prayers
Or to the prayer mark on his forehead
Or to the way he wears his dress,
But give him some money
Or deal with him in finance.

What we say in Malayalam is
“Bandhathil Kuntham Chaaruk”.
(Kuntham chithal vannu murinhu veezhumbol,
Chaari ninna bandhavum thaane veezhum)

Especially if such loan is given,
Or such financial deal is done,
Immaturely for soothing one’s immaturity;
Not for serious or urgent need
And if it is beyond his (loan-taker’s) capacity.

If at all you feel giving loan
To those incapacitated
Give them only in charity or free loan.
Not the loan, to be paid back,

So, that you can save

Both the giver and taker of loan.

Or you should put in your mind,
When you give loan, that
It is only a charity or free loan
(But without declaring it in their front
To save their face)
Seeing they will be unable to give back.

But charity shouldn’t be given
Immaturely for soothing one’s immaturity
And wasting it through his/their
Immature imaginations

One can have mustache on his face
When grown up and young
By then, it will be part of his handsomeness.

But what it will be like
When it is for a new born baby…?

What it will be like
When a new born baby girl is
Having full breast or menstruation?

Early growth, mostly, may not indicate
The real health
Rather it may denote
The ruin and danger …..

Excessive or speedy growth also
Do not show one’s health
Rather it will be disease like cancer…..

A lamb may take much pride
In its company ( that it got for some extra ordinary reason)
With the lions and tigers.

But the same pride will ruin all its life.

Initially lamb will have smile on its face.

Later on, the smile will be
On the face of tigers and lions.

Dear ....,

Particularly you have to be aware of this …
I fear that you are trapped
In such traps (attractions) of early (so-called) big contact
And unwanted habits and addictions, thereby.


Easy reaching on mountain top is good.
But, it will not
Give your muscles enough strength…
Which, strength, only can sustain you in long run,
By which only you can walk long.

And you will miss to learn
Long back history
That leads and reaches to the mountain top
And which really makes mountain top
As the mountain top.

***********

If given for any real need (you as a friend in need),
It is justifiable and
Even if the loan was not returned
You can understand and consider it as no-problem.
It can be considered as big tree’s giving shade to the others.

But giving to one un-wantedly,
That too for cutting the same tree which gives him shade,
Beyond his capacity
Would for sure spoil him
To get him lost of such a good friend, trees.

For the future…

With regards
