Rajamani thought long and hard about the third Kural.
“Rajamani, think of the time you wanted to get married to our neighbour.”
“Yes, and you gave me a thrashing and asked me to finish my 8th standard first before thinking of such things.”
“Kadavule! Not your 8th standard fling. When you were working for your first company…”
“Appa, don’t bring that up now. Vijaya is not too far off.”
“No, all I wanted to tell you was that you tried to get everybody convinced that you were doing the right thing. You got Vishnu Periappa, Anantu Athimber, Saama mami…”
“Yes, I know what I did. What’s your point?”
“If you want a mission fulfilled, you have to orient people to your mission and everything else falls in line. That is the meaning of the Kural.”
“Everyone except you. Hello.. Hello… Che, this man doesn’t listen to anything that I want to say.”
Putting the phone down, he called out to his 8-year old.
“Lata Kutti…”
“Two minutes”
“Are you like that noodles ad?”
“What?”
“Oh never mind, that was an ad from way before your time.”
“I have the next Kural. Do you want to listen to it?”
“Yes, as long as you explain to me with examples from One Piece.”
and its meaning - They who are united to the glorious feet of Him who passes swiftly over the flower of the mind, shall flourish long above all worlds.”
“And? Luffy?”
“What did Luffy want to become?”
“King of the pirates.”
“How did he get all his teammates including that long nosed fellow?”
“Usopp.” She started giggling holding her nose straight. “He also believed that Luffy would eventually become the King of the Pirates.”
“What about Zoro?”
“Yes, him too. All of them believed that Luffy would become the King of the Pirates.”
“So, this Kural says that if you are all united under one mission, one goal, one entity like God, you will be able to achieve anything you want, anything not just in this world, but the other worlds as well.”

By the continuance of rain, the world is preserved in existence; it is therefore worthy to be called ambrosia.
How does something small, like a raindrop or a kind act, create massive impact?
Can wisdom truly be universal, bridging generations, cultures, and even anime universes?
The cramped yet orderly chamber lay in eerie stillness, the usual hum of the engines absent, leaving only the silent booths and the bolted-down table pressing against the walls.
