Ottha tharuvaan uyir vaazhvaan matravan
Seththaaral vaikkap padum.
The one who knows philanthropy lives as a soul; the other is counted among the dead.
ஒத்துழைக்கும் அறிவுடையவன் உயிரோடு வாழ்பவன்; மற்றவன் இறந்தவர்களில் கணக்கிடப்படுவான்.
Philanthropy — knowing how to contribute to society — is the difference between truly living and being merely biologically alive. The non-philanthropist is counted among the dead: they occupy space without contributing to life.
