Elegant Intimacy in Thirukkural
Main Article Content
Abstract
Even eternity enshrines love as the purest feeling and it never can be ignored or isolated from the main stream life. It is a very soft word with mild feeling and has peculiar, precious attitude yet can cause mighty wars, calamities, disasters, drought etc. It oozes even through air tight compartments; shatters hard minds and melts mighty feelings. Its birth is time immemorial; reason for love is either pathos or blind feeling and attachment; sometimes reasons for love cannot be explained. At times infatuation is also considered as love; but vanishes away like a mirage. It is a feeling which affects the tender minds and shakes / shocks all the five senses. It is capable of overlooking every hurdle that meets with: yet it is an alien to the elders and instinct to the youngsters. It is a lovely feeling, mesmerizing mentality and induces a dreaming, floating ecstasy among the teenagers. It is universal, it has no color, caste, creed etc. love is a heavenly feeling but lust is its secret comrade; it moves towards lust unknowingly and ends with intimacy among lovers. Separation feeds it; mild touches nurture its expectations and in total every soul in this world needs it and wants it. Forms may differ but functioning is same.
