Tirukural
A daily chapter from South Indian saint Tiruvalluvar's Tirukural, 'Holy
Couplets.'
Chapter 21: Dread of Sinful Deeds
Kural 201
Wicked men do not fear, but worthy men dread,
the arrogance of sinful deeds.
Kural 202
>From evil springs forth more evil.
Hence evil is to be feared even more than fire.
Kural 203
To commit no wrong, even against one's enemies,
is said to be supreme wisdom.
Kural 204
Only the forgetful plot another's ruin; others remember
that virtue itself devises every plotter's downfall.
Kural 205
Do not commit wrongful deeds, claiming to be poor.
Such deeds only cause one to be poorer still.
Kural 206
Let one who hopes for freedom from afflictions' pain
avoid inflicting harm on others.
Kural 207
One can escape from hate-filled enemies,
but his own hateful acts will pursue and destroy him.
Kural 208
As a man's shadow follows his footsteps wherever he goes,
even so will destruction pursue those who commit sinful deeds.
Kural 209
If a man feels any fond affection for himself,
let him not indulge in immoral deeds, however trifling.
Kural 210
If men neither deviate from right nor act wrongly,
they will be defended against destruction.
