Guru - An Interpretation - 2

Life is also associated with "DIRECTION" or "DISHA"
We often come across the word, he lead his life in a Dharmic way.
He lead a righteous livining
In Tamil, we say "Nalla Vazhi" meaning "Right Direction"
In Tamil, we say "Thai Pirandal Vazhi Pirakkum"
Thus "DIRECTION/DISHA" is also associated with journey called LIFE.
In English we often use the word "WAY of Life".
Any journey be it life or otherwise (as simple as travelling to the US), involves travelling from one point to another.
We travel fron one place to another.
Please note the place here refers to SPACE.
Similarly TIME (What we call as KALAM) also travels from one from point to another then to another and so on..
We often use the saying "Life Goes On"!!!
As Life goes on, so does our mind. It does not stay in one PLACE.
It moves at a rapid space.
We use the word "MANA CHALAN". Chalan, here menas to walk, movement.
This ever changing mind of ours, is what perhaps what we refer to as "Journey of Life"
Obviously our mind should go in the right "DIRECTION/DISHA".
If we do not know the right "DIRECTION/DISHA", we will go the wrong "WAY"
The word "DISHA" is derived from the Sanskrit word "DISH"
