Tomorrow Is Not Ours

This is the third of five Sundays on what is real in your situation that your eyes are not counting (கண்ணுக்குத் தெரிவதைவிட அதிகம்). The series paused last Sunday for our guest, Rev. Robert Venish, and picks up again here. At Zarephath we saw that provision comes daily, not in a heap, often through hands we would not choose. At Dothan we saw that the danger did not change; the seeing did, and what is with us is more than what is against us. Today the subject is the future, and who actually holds it. The fear this Sunday answers is the one every parent carries: how do I secure tomorrow, for me and for my children? (நாளைக்கு என்ன ஆகுமோ என்ற கவலை)

"Instead you ought to say, 'If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.'" - James 4:15 (NKJV)

"ஆதலால்: ஆண்டவருக்குச் சித்தமானால், நாங்களும் உயிரோடிருந்தால், இன்னின்னதைச் செய்வோம் என்று சொல்லவேண்டும்." - யாக்கோபு 4:15 (TAOVBSI)

The Steam off the Pot · பானையின் ஆவி

Small children do not lie awake over tomorrow. Parents do. A student in Class 12 may start to, because the exams are close, but the real weight of the future sits on mothers and fathers. If a parent never thinks about what lies ahead for the children, something is wrong with the parenting. Good parents find the questions coming back again and again: what will the children do next, and how will they manage?

Most of us talk about the future in a confident voice. I will do that tomorrow. I will finish this next month. In five years I will have done that. James teaches another way to speak: if the Lord wills, and if we are alive, we will do this or that. We should be wise about where we say it out loud. Walk into a bank and write on the loan application, "If the Lord wills and I am alive tomorrow, I will repay," and you will not get the loan. A wife who sends her husband off in the morning with, "If the Lord wills and I am still alive, I will have lunch ready," will get some strange looks. And yet that sentence is simply the truth. James is not asking us to recite it at every meal. He is asking us to live with that attitude toward the future, to see tomorrow that way.

Many of our wedding invitations carry the words at the top: கர்த்தருக்குச் சித்தமானால், if the Lord wills. We print it on cards. The question this morning is whether we say it over our savings, our plans and our children's future.

James has a word for our life in the verse before the memory verse: atmis (ἀτμίς), vapour, like the steam off a cooking pot. This morning someone in your house lifted the lid off the rice. The steam was real; you saw it rise. Where is it now? Our Tamil Bible says புகை.

"Whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away." - James 4:14 (NKJV)

"நாளைக்கு நடப்பது உங்களுக்குத் தெரியாதே. உங்கள் ஜீவன் எப்படிப்பட்டது? கொஞ்சக்காலந்தோன்றிப் பின்பு தோன்றாமற்போகிற புகையைப்போலிருக்கிறதே." - யாக்கோபு 4:14 (TAOVBSI)

Three weeks ago a widow counted her jar. She had a little flour and a little oil, one meal for two people, and she concluded that after eating it they would die. Her count of the flour was right. What she left out was that God was there, and He showed her that her total was wrong. Two weeks ago a young man counted an army. Elisha's servant saw the horses, the chariots, the soldiers ringing the hill, and every number he took down was accurate. His mistake was the line at the bottom: there is no one with us. Elisha prayed, his eyes were opened, and the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire. When God is with us, the calculations we make so carefully keep coming out differently.

Today a rich man counts his harvest, and his count is right too. He really had more than his barns could hold. What he did not count was the night.

A Harvest Too Big for the Barns · களஞ்சியத்தில் அடங்காத விளைச்சல்

Jesus is teaching a crowd when a man interrupts: Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me (ஆஸ்தியைப் பாகம்பிரித்து). Command him, the man is saying; make him do it now. Jesus will not be the judge between them. He turns to everyone instead: beware of covetousness (பொருளாசை), because a man's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses. Your worth does not rise and fall with the size of what you own. Then He tells a story.

The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully. Notice who did the work in that sentence: the ground. The rain, the soil, the sun. And now the man has the kind of problem most of us pray for. There is no room to store it all.

He thinks it through, by himself (தனக்குள்ளே சிந்தித்து). What shall I do? I will pull down my barns and build greater, and store all my crops and my goods there. Then I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry (பூரிப்பாயிரு). Enough for many years, enough for generations to sit and eat.

Then, for the first time in the story, God speaks. He does not address him as rich man. He calls him Fool! (மதிகேடனே). This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be? The barns were not built yet. The man had planned for many years. He had one night.

Jesus ends it with one line: So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God (தேவனிடத்தில் ஐசுவரியவானாயிராமல்).

How many of us would like to be very rich? A few hands go up whenever that question is asked. Money is necessary, and God knows what we need. But Scripture also warns against the hurry to get rich (Proverbs 28:20). God wants us rich in one particular place: toward Him. This story has to be read carefully, because it can be bent two ways. One error says that everyone who seeks God will be loaded with money and goods. The other says that seeking God means living with nothing, in poverty. Both are wrong. So how are we supposed to live? Young people ask it all the time. They are told not to do this and not to do that, until they finally sit down and say to their parents, "Then just tell me what I am supposed to do." This parable is an answer to that question.

He Did Nothing Illegal · அவன் செய்தது குற்றமல்ல

"Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: 'The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.'" - Luke 12:16 (NKJV)

"அல்லாமலும், ஒரு உவமையை அவர்களுக்குச் சொன்னார்: ஐசுவரியமுள்ள ஒருவனுடைய நிலம் நன்றாய் விளைந்தது." - லூக்கா 12:16 (TAOVBSI)

"But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?'" - Luke 12:20 (NKJV)

"தேவனோ அவனை நோக்கி: மதிகேடனே, உன் ஆத்துமா உன்னிடத்திலிருந்து இந்த இராத்திரியிலே எடுத்துக்கொள்ளப்படும், அப்பொழுது நீ சேகரித்தவைகள் யாருடையதாகும் என்றார்." - லூக்கா 12:20 (TAOVBSI)

The man was already rich before this harvest came in. Wealth is not the same as money. Money is the cash in hand. Wealth is everything together: property, assets, gold, savings, minus whatever you owe. People call it net worth. Try working out your own. Add up what you have, subtract what you owe, and see what is left. If it comes to zero, that is not so bad; at least nothing is owed beyond what you hold. The dangerous place is the minus. If you hold one lakh rupees and owe ten lakhs, you are in a worrying position, and you should go to God at once for the right counsel on how to pay it back. Scripture calls the man who borrows and does not repay wicked (Psalm 37:21), and the wicked will not enter the kingdom of God. So our debts must be cleared, and soon.

Look for the crime in this story and you will not find one. He did not cheat anyone to earn it. He did not hold back his workers' wages, the sin James names in James 5:4: hire people and withhold their pay, and that is sin. He did not bribe anyone. He worked honestly, sprayed his fields, did everything a good farmer does, and saw a good harvest. If he lived in our town we would make him the church treasurer. We would want him as a friend. When there is a function at home we would make sure he was invited, because a well-off man walking through your door is an honour in itself.

Hear the guard first: saving is not the sin. Scripture praises the ant that gathers in summer (Proverbs 6:6-8), and says a good man leaves an inheritance (சுதந்தரம்) to his children's children.

"A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous." - Proverbs 13:22 (NKJV)

"நல்லவன் தன் பிள்ளைகளின் பிள்ளைகளுக்குச் சுதந்தரம் வைத்துப்போகிறான்; பாவியின் ஆஸ்தியோ நீதிமானுக்காகச் சேர்த்துவைக்கப்படும்." - நீதிமொழிகள் 13:22 (TAOVBSI)

Ask the men in a congregation which of them is a good man, and hardly a hand goes up. Read them this verse first and ask again, and the hands come up more easily. "Good man" here does not mean men only; it is the good person, and many of the best savers are women. Look in a kitchen, the one room the men rarely enter. When money suddenly runs short, a hand goes into the rice sack and comes out with something. The tamarind bag has a little. The dal tin has a little. And somewhere there is a pot buried at the back that nobody is supposed to know about. That is how good parents put aside for their children's schooling and weddings, and how a mother presses a few notes into her married daughter's hand when she visits and says, "I kept this for you."

So nothing preached this morning is against your savings or your plan for your daughter's education. Do not take the truth and twist it into foolishness: I must keep nothing, I must spend every rupee that comes in, I must not hold back a single paisa. The ant gathers in summer because in the hard months it cannot go out and find food. In the same way we must put by for ourselves, for our children, and for our old age, so that we are cared for. There is nothing wrong in that. It has to be done.

The problem is two words in verse 19: many years (அநேக வருஷங்களுக்கு). His crops were real. His barns were real. The years were the one thing in his plan he did not own, and he wrote them in as if he did. They belonged to God.

Greek: "required" is apaitousin (ἀπαιτοῦσιν), to demand back, the word a lender uses when he calls in a loan. His life was never his property. It was on loan (கடனாகக் கொடுக்கப்பட்டது), and that night the Lender asked for it back. When God takes back the life He lent, He asks for an account, which is what we studied in the "Giving Account" series. He gives us a span on this earth. Psalm 90, read this morning, says seventy years, and by reason of strength eighty (Psalm 90:10). Some get a hundred. Within those years a man can live only for himself; he can do every wrong thing and die having been of no use to anyone; or he can live for others. God has placed us here to see what we will do with the days, and one day He will say, enough, come home. On that day we must be ready to give account for those days.

So the question is not "have you saved?" It is "whose years are you saving in?" If you borrowed money, or took a hand-loan from a neighbour, could you treat it as your own and claim ownership of it? You could not. Yet we make exactly that mistake with what God gives us. We claim it. This is mine, I will keep it for years, I will do this and that with it. If only I get a house, if only I get the job, if only the money comes, then I will not respect anyone in this town, because when I had nothing nobody respected me. God's expectation is different. He hands things to us as stewards (உக்கிராணக்காரன்): look after this while you are here, and increase the talent that has been entrusted to you (Matthew 25:14-30). It is not given to you to make your own. It is given so that it can be of use to others.

Treating a loan as if it were property is one of the oldest mistakes there is, and it is made by good, hard-working people. The rich man earned everything fairly. His figures were correct: this much in the barns, enough for so many years. One figure was wrong. The years were not his. The years were God's.

He Talked Only to Himself · தனக்குத்தானே பேசிக்கொண்டான்

"And he thought within himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?'" - Luke 12:17 (NKJV)

"அப்பொழுது அவன்: நான் என்ன செய்வேன்? என் தானியங்களைச் சேர்த்துவைக்கிறதற்கு இடமில்லையே;" - லூக்கா 12:17 (TAOVBSI)

"And I will say to my soul, 'Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.'" - Luke 12:19 (NKJV)

"பின்பு: ஆத்துமாவே, உனக்காக அநேக வருஷங்களுக்கு அநேகம் பொருள்கள் சேர்த்து வைக்கப்பட்டிருக்கிறது; நீ இளைப்பாறி, புசித்துக் குடித்து, பூரிப்பாயிரு என்று என் ஆத்துமாவோடே சொல்லுவேன் என்று தனக்குள்ளே சிந்தித்துச் சொல்லிக்கொண்டான்." - லூக்கா 12:19 (TAOVBSI)

Count the words. In verses 17 to 19 (NKJV) he says "I" six times and "my" five times. Eleven times himself in three verses. Not one sentence to God. Not one about his family, the workers on his land, or his neighbour.

Two weeks ago a servant at Dothan asked, "What shall we do?" and he asked it of his master. This man asks the same question, What shall I do? (நான் என்ன செய்வேன்), and asks it of himself. He does not ask the man next door. He does not ask his workers. He does not ask his manager or his accounts people. One question turned outward, the other turned inward.

He even answers himself. Picture him in the storeroom, sacks of paddy piled to the roof, looking them over. What do I do with all this? Then he turns to his own soul: get up, soul, look what I have done for you. Everything is laid up for many years. Now rest, eat well, drink well, enjoy yourself. All this time nobody respected you; they talked about you as if you were nothing. Now the money has come, so live it up. In his day it was a harvest. In ours it is the bike with the loud exhaust that brings the whole street out to look, the car everyone must notice, the television turned up so the neighbours can hear, the party speaker set up at home so that in the evening he can dance with his tea in his hand. A man with nobody else in the room ends up preaching to his own soul. His wealth (ஐசுவரியம்) did not make him wicked. It made him alone.

I have been reading a book on the art of spending money. It says the same thing: a man gathers everything together, and at the end he finds himself alone. It gives a figure about the ten richest business people in the world: between the ten of them, at least fourteen divorces. Money, riches and fame have a way of isolating a person, and that is where this man's wealth left him.

The story began with two brothers who had stopped talking (verse 13). Think about what that request means. Two brothers bring a third person and ask him to divide the property between them. Brothers who meant to stay together would have sat down with each other: tell me what you want, I will tell you what I want, and we will settle it between ourselves. The moment an outsider is brought in, it is plain they have fallen out and are going their separate ways. Possessions had already done to that family what they did to the rich man: shut a door between people.

From the beginning God's design has had the family at its foundation. That is why He said it is not good for man to be alone and made a suitable helper for him (Genesis 2:18): a husband, a wife, children, living as one. In the Bible human history begins with a wedding and ends with one, the marriage of the Lamb, Christ and His church (Revelation 19:7). One man, one woman, kept within that bond, is the will of God. And wealth plays a large part in breaking that will apart.

So the men should ask themselves a plain question. When a bonus comes, or an extra ten thousand rupees lands this month from somewhere, who hears about it first? Do you phone your wife and say, "Ten thousand has come in; what shall we do with it?" Or do you sit alone, count the notes, and ask yourself what you will do with it? There is no family where husband and wife never quarrel. Arguments come, anger comes. But God's will is that through all of it we adjust to one another and stay together.

Solomon saw where this road ends.

"The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep." - Ecclesiastes 5:12 (NKJV)

"வேலைசெய்கிறவன் கொஞ்சமாய்ப் புசித்தாலும், அதிகமாய்ப் புசித்தாலும் அவன் நித்திரை இன்பமாயிருக்கும்; செல்வனுடைய பெருக்கோ அவனைத் தூங்கவொட்டாது." - பிரசங்கி 5:12 (TAOVBSI)

The abundance will not permit him to sleep. It withholds permission. It keeps telling him he cannot rest. Think of a home with only one bicycle or one motorbike. Every morning you wipe it down until it shines before you ride out. Get two or three, and they simply lie there; unless someone is employed to keep them, they are not maintained. I have more than one bike myself, and I wipe one only on the day I take it out, because there are other things to do. One bike and one job is a very simple life: clean the bike, go to work, come home. I am not claiming great abundance. My point is that even a small extra is already more than we can keep up with. When wealth, fame and name keep piling up, keeping it all becomes a burden that takes away sleep.

Some time ago I visited people I know in Surandai. I usually walk straight into the house, but that day they were not inside, so I went round the side and found them there, and they showed me the property. The cattle shed alone was bigger than this church. Four or five houses stood joined in a row, door opening into door, running from one road to the next. Two people live there, a husband and wife, both about eighty. They told me the father-in-law had bought up land all over the town. Much of it had since been divided among the brothers, and even what remained was more than they could keep up. How many people can you employ? Just cleaning it takes all day. In Keelapavoor it would be worse; with the dust from the rice mills you would have to wipe four times a day or it would go to ruin. One portion of the row belongs to another relative who has left it untended, and it has become an old, decaying house; the buildings are eighty years old. "They have so much property here and there," the couple said, "how can they look after this too? So they just leave it."

Full barns, and a man lying awake alone doing sums. When riches multiply, sleep goes, and we sit up by ourselves turning things over, as this man must have done that night, working out what to do.

Rich Toward God · தேவனிடத்தில் ஐசுவரியவான்

"So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." - Luke 12:21 (NKJV)

"தேவனிடத்தில் ஐசுவரியவானாயிராமல், தனக்காகவே பொக்கிஷங்களைச் சேர்த்துவைக்கிறவன் இப்படியே இருக்கிறான் என்றார்." - லூக்கா 12:21 (TAOVBSI)

"Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy." - 1 Timothy 6:17 (NKJV)

"இவ்வுலகத்திலே ஐசுவரியமுள்ளவர்கள் இறுமாப்பான சிந்தையுள்ளவர்களாயிராமலும், நிலையற்ற ஐசுவரியத்தின்மேல் நம்பிக்கை வையாமலும், நாம் அனுபவிக்கிறதற்குச் சகலவித நன்மைகளையும் நமக்குச் சம்பூரணமாய்க் கொடுக்கிற ஜீவனுள்ள தேவன்மேல் நம்பிக்கைவைக்கவும்," - 1 தீமோத்தேயு 6:17 (TAOVBSI)

Jesus does not say "and was not poor." God does not charge the man with being rich, and He does not say he ought to have been poor. He says not rich toward God. It is the same kind of account in a different bank. The question is not how much is stored, but what it is stored in (எதிலே சேர்த்துவைக்கிறோம்).

Paul tells Timothy what that account looks like. He does not tell the rich to hand everything to the poor and keep nothing. He tells them not to be haughty, and not to put their trust in uncertain riches (நிலையற்ற ஐசுவரியம்) but in the living God. Being rich is not the wrong; trusting in the riches is. Then he goes on:

"Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share." - 1 Timothy 6:18 (NKJV)

"நன்மைசெய்யவும், நற்கிரியைகளில் ஐசுவரியவான்களாகவும், தாராளமாய்க் கொடுக்கிறவர்களும், உதாரகுணமுள்ளவர்களுமாயிருக்கவும்," - 1 தீமோத்தேயு 6:18 (TAOVBSI)

And notice: the same verse says God gives us richly all things to enjoy. He is the one who gives us wealth to enjoy, and gives it in full. He wants us to study well, eat well, dress well, and be glad. Nothing in Scripture says we must buy nothing, wear only old clothes and go about looking like a pauper (பஞ்ச பரதேசி). Paul does not say that, and God does not command it.

Enjoying is not the sin. Enjoying alone, without Him, is. Take that same party speaker. With God in the house, a family can eat together happily, read a verse, sing songs, and use the thing for the glory of His name. Without Him, the same wealth buys two or three bottles, plates of fried groundnuts and snacks, two glasses each, the music turned up, drinking and dancing. Push it further and the difference is plainer still: those who fear God enjoy what they have with their own family, and those who do not go after other relationships and enjoy it there. The wealth is the same both ways. The question is whether God is in it.

James gives us the sentence that puts God back into the plan: if the Lord wills (ஆண்டவருக்குச் சித்தமானால்). He does not say stop planning. He says plan out loud with God in the sentence. And look at the order: we shall live, and do this or that. Living comes first, and living is His to give.

Our life is atmis, steam off the pot. Our riches are uncertain; money and possessions perish. But the One we say "if the Lord wills" to is the everlasting God we read about this morning.

"Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever You had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God." - Psalm 90:2 (NKJV)

"பர்வதங்கள் தோன்றுமுன்னும், நீர் பூமியையும் உலகத்தையும் உருவாக்குமுன்னும், நீரே அநாதியாய் என்றென்றைக்கும் தேவனாயிருக்கிறீர்." - சங்கீதம் 90:2 (TAOVBSI)

A tomorrow we do not own is safest in the hands of the One who does. David knew where his times were kept.

"My times are in Your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me." - Psalm 31:15 (NKJV)

"என் காலங்கள் உமது கரத்திலிருக்கிறது; என் சத்துருக்களின் கைக்கும் என்னைத் துன்பப்படுத்துகிறவர்களின் கைக்கும் என்னைத் தப்புவியும்." - சங்கீதம் 31:15 (TAOVBSI)

If I know my times are in the Lord's hand, I will use them well; I will spend my hours and my days in the right way. The one who thinks everything is his acts as if he will live another thousand years, and arranges everything on that basis.

This is not an offering appeal, and I want to be plain about that. The message is not that you must not be rich, or that you must bring all your wealth and drop it in the offering box. The offering comes next in the service, and even what goes into the box is part of what passes away. Being rich toward God is not settled in the plate in the next five minutes. It is settled in who you talk to before you build. Before I do anything, before I earn anything, before I build anything, the first one I speak to must be God. I must not sit alone and say, "I have a lakh of rupees; what shall I do with it?" and plan it all by myself. God first, and then the people the rich man left out.

Never let yourself become someone who only talks to himself. After our relationship with God, the first relationship on this earth is between husband and wife. Then the family, husband, wife and children. Then the wider family. Only after that come friends and everything else. Keep that order. Wealth is always ready to lead a person off into being alone; do not go with it. I have mentioned before the owner of a large restaurant chain who said: I have earned crores, and today when I wake up there is no one in my house even to give me a cup of coffee. While I was running and running to earn, I neglected my family, and my wife left me. For years now I have been sitting alone. There are many rich people like him. But the living God gives us all good things richly to enjoy. Everything that comes from Him is good, and we can use it for good things and enjoy it to the full, with Him.

Conclusion · முடிவுரை

The rich man saw his good harvest, saw his crops and his barns, and laid out a plan for many years. He did not see the night. That is this whole series: what is really there that our eyes are not counting. He brought into his reckoning years that were hidden from his eyes, and those years were never his; his life ended that night. He counted what he had and never asked whose it was.

Your harvest may be large or small this year. It does not matter. The same question comes to both: whose years are you planning in? Do we know, as David knew, that our days are in the Lord's hands?

Tomorrow is not ours. It never has been ours, and it never will be. But it is not empty, and it is not unguarded. Our tomorrow and our whole future sit in the hands of the eternal God, who was God before the mountains and hills were formed.

We cannot hold tomorrow or guard it ourselves, but we can hold one sentence, and learn to say it whenever we make a plan, so that our life is lived with that attitude: ஆண்டவருக்குச் சித்தமானால், நாங்களும் உயிரோடிருந்தால், இன்னின்னதைச் செய்வோம். If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.

Declaration Prayer · அறிக்கை ஜெபம்

பிதாவே, நாளை என் கையில் இல்லை என்று அறிக்கையிடுகிறேன். என் ஜீவன் புகையைப்போல் இருக்கிறது; என் காலங்கள் உமது கரத்தில் இருக்கின்றன. நான் சேர்த்துவைத்தவைகளும், என் பிள்ளைகளின் எதிர்காலமும் உம்முடையவை. எனக்குள்ளே மட்டும் பேசிக்கொள்ளாமல், முதலாவது உம்மோடு பேசுவேன். நான் ஞான இருதயமுள்ளவனாகும்படி, என் நாட்களை எண்ணும் அறிவை எனக்குப் போதித்தருளும். ஆண்டவருக்குச் சித்தமானால், நான் உயிரோடிருந்தால், இன்னின்னதைச் செய்வேன். என்னைத் தேவனிடத்தில் ஐசுவரியவானாக்கும். இயேசுவின் நாமத்தினாலே, ஆமென்.

Father, I confess that tomorrow is not in my hand. My life is like a vapour; my times are in Your hand. What I have saved, and my children's future, are Yours. I will not talk only to myself; I will speak with You first. Teach me to number my days, that I may gain a heart of wisdom. If the Lord wills and I live, I will do this or that. Make me rich toward God. In Jesus' name, Amen.

One Thing This Week · இந்த வாரம் ஒன்று மட்டும்

Take one plan you are making this week, a purchase, a school fee, a move, a loan, and before you tell anyone else, tell it to God with James's words in front of it: if the Lord wills. Then tell one other person. The rich man told nobody.

Next week - Part 4 of கண்ணுக்குத் தெரிவதைவிட அதிகம் (More Than What You See): நாம் ஏன் அமிழ்கிறோம், Peter walking on the water, sinking, and being lifted up. The memory verse to carry with you, ready to recite next Sunday: James 4:15 - ஆதலால்: ஆண்டவருக்குச் சித்தமானால், நாங்களும் உயிரோடிருந்தால், இன்னின்னதைச் செய்வோம் என்று சொல்லவேண்டும்.
