The sun itself stands for all the ideals of the Pongal festival. Its message is that of light, unity, equality and true selflessness. These are the ideals of Karma Yoga. Hence, the sun is the greatest Karma Yogi.When we celebrate Pongal, our sense of value changes. We begin to understand that our real wealth is the goodwill and friendship of your relatives, friends, neighbors and other human beings. Our wealth is the land on which our food grows, the cattle which help us in agriculture, and the cow which gives us milk. We begin to have greater love and respect for them and for all living beings – the crows, the fish and all other creatures.
