There goes an old tamil song…
“Kannaaa! Karumai nira kanna. Unnai Kaanaadha Kan illaye.
Unnai maruppar illai, kandu veruppaar illai, ennai kandalum poruppar illai”
Literal translation of the song to english…
“Oh Lord Krishna, the one who is dark colored. There are not eyes that dont admire you. There is no one who hates you.
There is no one who has the patience to listen to me and bear with me”
This is a song from an old movie, the context wherein the heroine is a black ugly woman and is considered as a bad omen by all around her.
I just came across this song randomly in my thoughts and found this to be so meaningful and it personally makes so much sense to me as an individual.
We can trust in a piece of stone, an image that we trust and believe and hope is true and is how god exists and looks in that form factor. We do not care how he looks, blue, black or green. He can have snakes around his neck, have the head of a pig or a monkey or a elephant. We don’t care and we pray unto him but we cease to look beyond what a real person… blood and flesh… just like you and me standing right next to you is.
We cannot see beyond that scar, beyond that sign language or beyond that blind stick or crutch or the physical or mental defect that appears at the surface level. There is so much more to a person than the surface of it.
We see what is in that of the shortcoming but we never see the potential that lies around it. We see the difference all of the time but we never make notice of the rest of the things that are similar to us all.
Very funny, how people classify right and wrong and good and bad and ugly and beautiful.
Some people stop with the apparent, da. Lots of people begin like that and learn to look beyond. It comes with maturity. Sometimes people are sensitive to this from the beginning, sometimes not. It’s a good thing we’ve learnt this sensitivity, though.
