Frustrated, he turns to his father, Sahasranamam, and later to his daughter, Lata, who connects it to Luffy from One Piece! 🏴☠️
Just like Luffy tames fierce creatures not by force but by his calm and fearless nature—like the bull in Dressrosa—this Kural teaches that when we act without greed or aversion, negativity cannot harm us.

“Oh, I can’t make head or tail of this,” he said while keeping his iPad on the table.
“I can’t keep calling him. Appa might think I am an idiot. The kural asks me to meditate and I will meditate now.”
Rajamani sat up and closed his eyes.
Two seconds later opened his eyes and called his father, Sahasranamam.
“Appa, do you think I am an idiot?”
“No, you are not an idiot. You are the CEO of your company. Yes, there are only 10 people in your company, but you are the CEO all the same. You do the job not for the monetary gain, but for the love of the job. You will do very well as long as you have this spirit.”
“That is the meaning of the 4th kural? Hello.. Hello…”
“Why does he keep doing this? Pickup the phone and talk without a hello. End without a bye-bye.”
“Lata Kutty, this time, you tell me what the meaning might be.” Rajamani said while walking into Lata’s room.
Lata was nowhere to be found. “Lata.. Lata…”
He saw Lata in the balcony of her room, sitting upright and eyes closed.
“Lata…” his voice down to a whisper.
He softly spoke the Kural into her ears.
“Can… you… guess… what… it… means?”
“Why are you whispering?
I know the meaning of this. When Luffy sees ferocious animals, rather than conquer them by force or beating them up, he tames them by looking into their eyes and making them his friends,” said Lata.
“Adi sakkai. This One Piece is making you smart. Exactly. When does this happen in One Piece?”
“That bull in Dressrosa, remember? It is a ferocious one and everyone is scared of it. Luffy takes one look at it in a very calm manner and the evil in the Bull’s eye turns into friendliness. He also carries the bull later when the bull is hurt.”
“Beautiful. So, one has to be calm and think about the good of others and no evil can touch you.”
“To those who meditate the feet of Him who is void of desire or aversion, evil shall never come.”

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.
